Okay, let’s tackle this. So Sam has a broad range of skills, which is great, but it also makes it harder to pinpoint an exact rate. However, considering his skills in Javascript, Python, and mobile application development, which are in high demand, and his experience with Agile methodologies and AWS, I’d estimate his rate to be around $125 per hour. This is slightly below the average rate for a software developer in Seattle, which is around $150 per hour, but his broad skill set and experience in multiple areas bring his rate down. Still, he’s a very capable professional who can deliver high-quality work, and his rate reflects that.
