SEEKING WORK - Remote & Atlanta (remote preferred)

I'm a full-stack developer 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 constantly learning), 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.

Rates $60-90 per hour. Weekly/Monthly discounts available.

I can also bring in a designer if the project requires it. His portfolio: http://michaelkrontz.com/

SEEKING WORK - remote / Berlin

I'm a front-leaning, full-stack developer that is living in Berlin. I am American, and I have some conversational ability in German.

I have experience with every aspect of creating an application, from mockups and UX design, to graphic design, to the full-stack implementation, to deployment. I've successfully built and sold a past start-up of mine, and have a great deal of insight with product development. Because of this, I'm probably of most value the earlier a project is in its life cycle.

Backend stack: Ruby on Rails, with DBs/data stores such as MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search.

Frontend stack: my strong preference is for React.js, though I've done a bunch of work with Angular and Meteor. I am well-versed in current best practices, can build responsive mobile-friendly websites, and code pixel perfect CSS and HTML5.

I'm also a very capable graphic designer, which can be seen from viewing past and present work on my portfolio.

SEEKING WORK - Consultancy, London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.

I'm a DevOps consultant with 15 years experience hosting web applications and I'm on the lookout for interesting new projects.

I work closely with dev teams throughout the project lifecycle (d'oh, DevOps!) to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, continuous integration, deploy systems, monitoring, post-mortems, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even built & led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month (yes, PCI) in payments.

+ Physical platform hosting a large, successful news site for the financial sector.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Don't try this, you won't get rich.

+ Lots, lots more.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (GMT+2)

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, NodeJS and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at http://ifdattic.com

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

    * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
    * implement backup & work flow to avoid using data due to 
      incompetent developers
    * custom applications for improving work flows (document 
      submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)

SEEKING WORK - Remote or based in SW Ontario, Canada

LinkedIn: http://ca.linkedin.com/in/zamkhan

Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.). Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating an automated trading platform for forex and equity markets through a well-known online broker.

Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and various sports analytics software solutions.

Technical keywords: C++, C#, Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, LabView, Rails, R, Python, and more.
