Mobile/Android superhero ISO alternate-hour workweek opportunities
Having been at this for quite some time now, my priorities have shifted to a "self-care first" model. To that end I am most actively looking for businesses who are implementing (or considering implementing) a reduced workweek model. Aside from that, I am an accomplished Android developer who is a stickler for all things "best practices"-related. I take great care and pride in delivering top-notch products and look forward to finding opportunities where that is in full balance with mental and emotional well-being.
