Seeking work - Remote only - [email protected]

I have about 6 years worth of experience in IT support (repair technician > head technician > help desk technician > help desk manager) and have been working on my BS in Computer Science for the past 4 years. I don't have a lot of professional programming experience. Under my belt, I have an "internship" (more of a trial period where we decided to split ways) for a startup that was essentially an email newsletter for a demographic that doesn't really use email or newsletters as well as doing Google Summer of Code working on an open source MMO called Ryzom.

I'm most experienced in Python (+ Flask), Java, and C++. I have non-trivial, yet not masterful, experience with HTML+CSS, C, JavaScript (+ Angular, JSON), SQLite, and BASH. I also have the general "full-stack" knowledge that you would expect a help desk manager that doesn't have a sys admin above them to be able to do.

P.S. This is my first time posting to one of these, so if I'm doing something dumb that I shouldn't, leaving out any important information, or if you have any feedback about my work or any questions please let me know.

SEEKING WORK - Remote/New York, NY

My partner and I design and build mobile apps for early-stage companies. Most recently we've helped a number of companies build out their video recording, editing, and sharing platforms. If you need help building compelling and efficient mobile applications, or have any questions about mobile video, shoot me an email at: [email protected].

Some past work of ours includes:

* Reveal (http://reveal.me/): We worked with Reveal to improve their video quality 3x while simultaneously reducing the amount of time their users have to wait for videos to begin playing.

* SNBL (http://snowball.is/): My partner developed Snowball's iOS application and backend, including a system for reordering server-side playlists on the fly, removing the processing burden from the user's device and moving it to the cloud.

* Romotive (http://www.romotive.com/): I was Romotive's lead engineer and led development for our initial iOS and Android applications, including our realtime two-way H264 audio/video streaming libraries.

We're based in NYC, but work with partners around the world.

SEEKING WORK

Super rad A+ Premium Top Quality Ninja Guru Rockstar Hybrid Designer Who Is Super Awesome And Is a Totes Cultrue Fit Brah. ;)

Ok, now that we've got that out of the way.

Location: SF Bay Area but willing to travel and working remote is totally cool too. Let's chat about it.

Portfolio - https://www.behance.net/jamesdeanbooth AngelList - https://angel.co/james-dean-booth Resume - http://www.jamesdeanbooth.com/jamesdeanbooth-resume.pdf LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesdeanbooth

What do I mean by hybrid design? I'm a visual/UI/UX/graphic/web/print/front-end designer who's worked all over the design field. This makes me a jack of all trades and perfect for startups.

Pricing? Your SOUL. Ahem, sorry about that... We all know startup CEOs/CTOs don't have souls. ZING! Reality: per project or project bundle pricing is my preferred way to do things. This keeps cost and time down for both of us.

Get in touch! Let's knock some projects out.

I'm an all-around programmer. I've tried breaking my passion off several times over the years, but a force bigger than I keeps bringing me back to programming. And it's been happening for 6 years. As a full-time freelancer I've been earning a living since 2012 living and travelling in other countries.

I'm also stoked about functional programming, finance (including crypto-currencies), data analysis, machine learning and cyber security.

I don't just do programming. Rather I solve your problem choosing the most appropriate tool and technology. When contacting me, please provide the details of what you need, your approximate budget and time estimate.

Thanks && Cheers!

SEEKING WORK - Remote & Atlanta (remote preferred)

I'm a full-stack developer and project manager based in Atlanta. I've built a profitable startup, so I know how to solve problems and get things done with a minimum amount of direction.

I can take on projects at any stage--from sketches on the back of a napkin, to 20 year old legacy code. Whether you need someone to build and deploy a complete product from the ground up, or untangle an existing mess, I can handle it.

I'm an excellent communicator, and I will provide clear and concise status reports through every phase of the project. My job is to make sure you never have to worry about how your project is going.

I'm good with Ruby/Rails, JavaScript (plus many js frameworks), C#, Java, Go, CSS3, and HTML5.

I also have a strong foundation in computer science (B.S. in CS and part time grad student at GaTech), and experience with many other languages and frameworks. I can handle anything you can throw at me, so don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see your technology stack listed.

Rate: $800 per day. Weekly/Monthly discounts available.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Backend engineer / Sysadmin.

Do you need a backend service to talk to your flashy new web / mobile app?

Does your current build and deployment system give you nightmares about the only dev who understands it falling under a bus?

Need a proof-of-concept for your latest, hard-to-pigeonhole idea?

I do have experience of the full stack (including AngularJS and Coffeescript; see below) but am looking for work primarily involving the back end of the stack, or server admin / reliability / scaling. In previous lives I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica.

Recent work:

* Custom 'net-connected controller for long-term timelapse projects. (FreeBSD, Arduino)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

* Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, Chef, AWS, Heroku, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR
