DEVAE for freelance developers
DEVAE gives freelance developers a public profile of shipped work, a feed of builders who need help, and live rooms for pairing with clients and other freelancers.
Freelancing is a referral business, and referrals come from people who have seen you work. DEVAE is where people see you work. Post the integration you just shipped, the performance fix that took a client from 4 seconds to 400 milliseconds, the snippet you keep reusing. Developers and founders on the feed see it, and the ones who need that exact skill remember your handle.
It also solves the loneliness problem. When you are the only engineer on a contract, there is nobody to sanity-check an architecture decision with. Open a room, share your screen, and get a second pair of eyes from someone who has built the same thing. Invite-only by default, so client code never leaves the room.
What freelance developers use DEVAE for
A profile clients can verify
Your profile shows shipped projects, your stack and the rooms you host. It is proof of work, not a list of claims.
Learn more →Feed asks that turn into gigs
Posts like "need a Stripe webhook reviewer this week" show up in front of the people who tagged Stripe. Answer well and you have a lead.
Learn more →Pair with a subcontractor or a client
Screen, terminal and voice in one invite-only room. Walk a client through a demo or onboard a subcontractor without a meeting-tool subscription.
Learn more →Find a partner for bigger contracts
Matchmaking pairs you with complementary skills. A backend freelancer plus a designer can pitch work neither could take alone.
Learn more →Reusable snippets, shared with clients
Keep the boilerplate you ship on every project as snippets. Share read-only with a client or invite a collaborator to edit.
Learn more →Work from the terminal
