Freelance UI Dev (1 month contract)

Freelance Developer Brief 1-Month Engagement Overview One-month engagement picking up an existing demo project ahead of a trade show. The freelancer will get up to speed via a handover from Billy and Jack, who remain the main points of contact throughout. The work centres on the front-end/UI for a demo unit running on dedicated hardware with a touchscreen, communicating with the backend via REST APIs. What They Will Do - Get up to speed via handover from Billy and Jack - Build/refine the touchscreen UI for the demo unit (runs on the hardware itself, not a web or mobile app) - Integrate the front end with the backend over REST APIs - Work within the existing hardware setup, troubleshooting where UI meets hardware - Begin backend-adjacent work early using the physical unit's existing data logs, ahead of full handover if needed What We're Looking For - Practical, hands-on UI development skills - Comfort with rapid prototyping and iteration, rather than deep embedded C++ development - Micro-electronics or fixed-hardware experience preferred (some embedded systems exposure, or general comfort with software running on hardware) - Mid-level freelancer, flexible working hours Originally posted on Himalayas
