Okay, let’s tackle this. So Kelly has a solid set of skills in Java, Javascript, and full-stack development. She’s also familiar with Eclipse, Spring Mvc, Hibernate, and Jenkins. Her education from The University of Texas at Austin is a plus. Location is Olympia, Washington, which is a mid-sized city with a relatively lower cost of living. According to national averages, software developers with similar skills in the US can charge around $100-$150 per hour. Considering her skills and experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $112, which is slightly below the average but still competitive.
