Tell us about yourself.
I am an Enterprise Application Architect with 10+ years of work experience. From day one, started working as a professional only thing which comes to my mind was to start something of my own. So after 7 Yrs of service in IT industry, quit my job and started working as a freelancer and happy to say Truelancer was the first platform I joined. Have worked on many different kinds of web applications from microsites to huge 5 years development cycle enterprise projects. This gives me exposure and chance to work on various technology stacks and tools. I love reading technical papers and articles and spend a lot of time in understanding the latest technologies which are already in the market or about to come.
Why and when did you start freelancing?
It’s been 3 Years now, I am my own boss. I love working directly with people and solve their technical issues. Always thought of why not directly talk to customers and try to reduce there pain by means of technologies. I never liked 9 to 6 job that doesn’t give you the flexibility of kind of technologies you wanted to work on. That’s the reason after spending a long time in IT industry, I quit and started working as a freelancer. For others like to say there it’s never too late, you can start any time you want. When I started freelancing I thought it was too late for me and I myself proved this wrong.
What do you like about being a freelancer?
It’s freedom with responsibility. Freedom to work on anything which you love, but with a responsibility to deliver your best as someone else trusted you to get there job done. The biggest benefit for me after delivering the first few successful projects is, I can pick the work of my choice. This interests me in working hard and ultimately resulted in happy customers and good earnings.
What are the challenges you have found in your freelancing career?
It’s little hard to start especially in a market where you think you are the best but the reality is there are already many good players available and thousands like you. It was difficult to get the first few projects and complete them on time. For me, I got my first project after 3 months of struggle and then completing it was another challenge. But once you succeed in building a good profile by completing the first few projects then it’s easy to get projects.
What according to you does it take to be a successful freelancer?
Hard Work, honesty and sense of responsibility. I think what skills anyone has that is not the only asset you should consider, as many others have the same skill set. Customers love Honest and hard working guys but if you add a sense of responsibility to your work it makes a perfect combination anyone needs from you and most people forgets about the third one. Clients highly encourage people who participate with them in discussions and help them in building a product what they want and alert them if something going in the wrong direction. They like if freelancer cares about the overall success of the project and not only focusing on project completion.

Last but important, the support team is really fantastic, haven’t seen such a brilliant and quick response on any other platform.
