Remote Full Stack Developer
open to relocation worldwide
I'm a senior full stack engineer at IBM with 10+ years of React, Next.js, Node.js and .NET work. I'm looking for remote roles and freelance projects with teams anywhere, and I'm open to relocating to the US, Europe, the UK, Dubai, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia or Japan for the right full-time job.

Questions about remote work and relocation
Which countries is Abin PM open to relocating to?+
The US, the UK and Europe, Dubai and the UAE, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, for a full-time role that's a good fit. Relocation would go through the employer's usual work visa or permit process, and I'm happy to start remotely while that runs.
Do you work with companies in Africa?+
Yes, I'm open to remote roles and relocation for African companies. I haven't had a client based in Africa yet, but the time zones are easy: India is 2.5 hours ahead of Kenya, 3.5 hours ahead of South Africa and 4.5 hours ahead of Nigeria, so we would share most of the working day.
How does remote work across time zones work in practice?+
We agree a fixed overlap window for stand-ups, calls and reviews, and I write clear updates at the end of each day. I've worked this way with US, UK, French and Dubai clients from India for most of my career.
Can I hire you as a contractor instead of an employee?+
Yes. I can invoice you directly as an independent contractor, or work through an employer-of-record service or a contractor platform if that is how your company hires internationally.
