I have a small, already-running application that was originally built in either C++ or Python (the codebase mixes both, so you will need to be comfortable with each). I now need hands-on help here in Dallas to move the project forward. Your core focus will be twofold: first, adding a set of clearly-defined new features that we will outline together once you have reviewed the current architecture; second, tightening overall performance so the program feels faster and more responsive. The performance work will likely involve profiling, refactoring hotspots, and making sure any resource-intensive routines are as lean as possible. Because the project is compact, I expect you to work directly on my existing repository, meet in person when code walk-throughs are necessary, and push clean, well-documented commits. We will agree on milestones for each new feature and for measurable speed improvements before you start coding. If you are based in the Dallas area, fluent in modern C++ and Python, and like the idea of shaping a lightweight app into something slicker and snappier, let’s talk.
