  • 3) What was your inspiration and when did you
    actually decide to become a freelancer?
  • At that time I decided to become a freelancer I
    was unhappy with my current work. I believed that
    I would be able to run my own business better and
    more efficient than my boss ). Freelancing
    provided me with the ability to focus on
    interesting and for me more suitable tasks. So my
    professional level was raised in the desired
    types of tasks. The last three years I have had a
    full time job but I also do a freelance project
    just to test my current professional level and to
    see what services are demanded by market. It
    (freelancing) helps me to be on the edge of
    technologies, to learn something new and to
    improve my skills.
  • I am able to spend up to 20-25 hours per week for
    working on freelancing projects.

  • 4) What kind of services have your clients asked
    you to provide?
  • Mobile application development.
  • Development of mobile apps by specification or
    sketches with description. Usually the full cycle
    of development process specification creation,
    prototyping, mobile app development, publishing
    to store.
  • Writing specifications for mobile application
    development.
  • A specification for mobile application defines
    the requirements of a mobile application and its
    functions. Usually with aspecification a
    prototype application is created synchronously.
    This approach allows to get a zero version of
    the application to see which interface controls
    can be used to define the hierarchy of screens.
    The prototype is the skeleton of the future
    application.

  • 4) What kind of services have your clients asked
    you to provide? (contd)
  • Completion of iOS / Android mobile applications
  • Not every developer is able to complete an
    application to publish it at AppStore or Google
    Play.
  • That is why some of my clients are asking me to
    complete their application.
  • Adding new features for your application
  • Usually I do tasks like these
  • Adding new screens with new features in-app
    purchase, new services integration, integrating
    statistics of application usage, etc.
  • Changing an application to new version of API or
    webservices.
  • Adding support of screen sizes, changing
    operating system services, new devices support,
    etc.

  • 4) What kind of services have your clients asked
    you to provide? (contd)
  • Update of third party libraries.
  • Updating and changing structure of application
    new user interface, new way of application
    usage, etc.
  • Changing an application due to new requirements
    of the operating system An application
    developed 2-3 years ago has a lot of tails with
    an unused (incorrect for current version) code.
    A lot of these tails are the reason for
    application issues and crashes.
  • Bug and issues fixing in mobile application
  • Sometimes a bug is found after an application is
    published in a store. So my clients want me to
    find the bug and fix it.

  • 5) Do you use other freelancers or companies to
    provide skills that you dont possess?
  • Usually I can complete my tasks by myself or I
    collaborate with my clients team.

  • 6) Now tell us, how do you find new clients that
    are interested in your services?
  • Of course I use freelancing websites. I also run
    my own website for a more detailed description of
    provided services.

  • 7) What about freelancermap.com? Can you tell us
    a little bit about your experience with our
    IT-network?
  • I first have to complete some project at
    freelancermap.com to provide a realistic
    feedback.

Vladimir Samoilenko
  • 8) How do you set yourself apart from your
    competitors? What makes you special?
  • I have a rich experience in software development.
    I do a deep analysis of the clients project and
    provide solutions to reach the wanted goals. Very
    often a client doesnt see narrow places in his
    project. Of course I can provide app development
    for iOS and Android including web services
    integration. Sometimes this feature of my complex
    services is valued by clients more than every
    service independently.

Vladimir Samoilenko
  • 9) What are the top three books, blogs or
    magazines you read to stay up to date in the
    IT-market?
  • I like to read books published by OReilly and
    Apress. It is too difficult to choose some
    particular blogs. I like to read problem
    (task/project) oriented blogs for each particular
    project I do.
