Compiling and editing together my travel footage for my YouTube vlog. I've had the fortune to have traveled to 96 countries in my life so far, and have been posting a vlog for every country that I've visited (I'm making an attempt to go to every country)

I got hung up around country 55, feeling that I hadn't found my "editing voice" and have had difficulty finding the motivation over the last year to edit and post my most recent 41 countries worth of content. I want to say that part of it is because I'm overwhelmed with how much there is to go through? I also get in my head and have to consistently reassure myself that I'm ultimately editing this for my future self/family to watch, and that I shouldn't necessarily be optimizing for viewership (though passive income through travel vlogs would be nice.)

There's a definitive, "what's up brand gang, immranderson here!" blueprint that could be followed, but I have no interest in ever doing something like that.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Senior Elixir Software Engineering Mentor | Remote (Global) | Part-Time ~3 Month Contract | $1000 USD monthly retainer.

Hello! I'm an Engineer with a decade of mobile engineering experience attempting to bootstrap my own startup. Over the last several months, I have picked Elixir and Phoenix as my stack of choice. However, it's my first time ever building out a server-side application. Since it's only me at the moment and I'm new to this side of the engineering world, I'm looking for a mentor of sorts who wouldn't mind guiding me on architectural decisions, high level technical talks on how I should implement features, helping me out by reviewing my PRs, and acting as a general "guiding hand" so I can build out something robust, maintainable, and secure.
