How did you guys land your first role on Contra?

New also and still learning. It seems like there is no job posts. The clients will reach out directly if they're interesting in working with you.

Correct me if I'm wrong since I just created an account 2 days ago.

People (including me) say working with friends is risky.

But lately I’ve been learning that with clear communication, respect, and boundaries, it can actually become some of the most rewarding work. 😌

Turns out trust is a pretty great starting point for collaboration.

Have you ever mixed personal relationships and work successfully?

Honestly I think working with friends only becomes risky when communication gets avoided because of the friendship itself. Clear expectations, boundaries, and mutual respect change everything.

Some of the best collaborations happen when trust already exists before the work even starts.

I just joined Contra I'm excited to share that I’ve joined Contra as a freelance developer. I'll be offering services around: • Full-stack web development • Mobile app development • AI automation • API integrations • SaaS and dashboard development • Workflow automation with tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, and OpenAI API My focus is simple: build clean, practical, and scalable products that solve real business problems. I'm especially interested in helping startups, founders, and small teams turn ideas into working products faster, whether that means building an MVP, improving an existing platform, or automating manual workflows. Looking forward to connecting with great clients and building useful things here. #Contra #FreelanceDeveloper #FullStackDeveloper #MobileDeveloper #AIAutomation #SaaS #WebDevelopment #React #Nextjs #ReactNative #OpenAI #WorkflowAutomation
