SEEKING WORK - Remote - Toronto, Canada

Full Stack Developer

SQL backed web applications - Building the core of the application in PostgreSQL, adding an API layer in python (on google app engine), and overlaying that with Elm based thick javascript client.

Frontend - coding applications with html/css/javascript. Elm-style static-typed model-view-action design

Machine Learning - Putting the data in the right format (python and sql scripts), iterating on feature engineering. Prefer to use Vowpal Wabbit (logistic regression with hashing trick) since this can often do just as good a job as deep neural networks.

Application Scaling - How to shard the application database to beyond what SQL can do (makes sense for machine-to-machine IOT applications, and for high user load applications) (Although this is somewhat mitigated by Google Spanner very recently, can continue to use SQL and not shard)

languages: python, javascript, java, haskell, ocaml, sql, prolog

In summary - Solid full stack developer, can get working right away on your project for reasonable cost and time. Prefer using Google's cloud technologies (app engine python, cloud postgresql) so that devops is reduced to minimum.

SEEKING WORK - Wellington, New Zealand, or remote

I'm a full stack developer. I'd call myself a 60/40 back-end/front-end dev. I'll also happily pootle around with devops/sysadmin tasks, chat with non-techy clients, troubleshoot their troubles and help un-bamboozle them about horrendous tech issues, mentor junior developers and designers who might find our million billion sub-fields of programming a wee bit daunting, and host a mean beer o'clock on Fridays.

Skills: Ruby on Rails, Node.js, PHP, Backbone, Angular, React, Knockout, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB

SEEKING WORK / remote / GMT-8

Hi there! I'm a programmer who's written code and designed products for startups, universities, and open-source projects. I've been a software engineer for 4 years and a freelancer for the past year. I've worked a lot with data and building the systems surrounding it, and also have taught programming and enjoy communicating ideas in a non-technical way.

Here are some of the problems I've solved for clients: * Built RESTful API for password reset and email verification * Wrote a script for updating a SQL database with CSV file * Consulted and assisted in improvement of storefront website * Built metrics collection for and improved speed of web-scraping cronjobs * Built data dashboard with highcharts.js * Scripted auto-login bot to update tags on a user account with Python and Selenium

Before working as a freelancer, I worked at the University of Washington making serious games. I had a big hand in researching, designing, and implementing one of the games we made and even got to present the game at the Pentagon.

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

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Reliable, scalable services.

In the past I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular job, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I can help you build a back end for your new web or mobile app, or architect a scalable platform to power it.

Previous work:

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* 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, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir, FreeBSD

SEEKING FREELANCER -- ANYWHERE/REMOTE-- Nonprofit/Church Technology: Freelance Sales

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in need of freelance sales help in 2017! We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - https://www.donationspring.com) and plan to aggressively promote it after the new year. Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.

What I'm looking for:

- The scope is primarily to find prospects, have initial conversations, identify needs, and provide them as a pre-qualified prospect.

- Someone with sales/marketing chops. A sales or account exec career history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we'll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality/passion alignment.

- Experience/familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry.

- Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit/church prospects.

- Located anywhere in the US. The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better.

- Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace. Pay is a traditional commission based on long-term account revenue (negotiable).

- Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart. Our primary focus is serving both nonprofit/church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech-centric way we can.

If that describes you, I'd love to chat! [email protected]

SEEKING FREELANCE - REMOTE [PRODUCT MANAGEMENT]

===============================================

sean at prome dot ai

After 3.5 years leading Product and doing a global video streaming company turnaround (Piksel, formerly known as KIT Digital), I left last week to build PROME's Biologic Intelligence product for industrial sensors and robotics.

Our team is doing some freelance work to keep the lights on as we're self-funding everything.

I reported directly to the CPO, now the CEO, pulled together teams in Milan (new analytics), Paris (old OVP integration, new HTML5 player), Atlanta (50,000 live events annually), Solana Beach (UX) and York/London (net new microservices video platform) and managed high value customers including former ESPN, VW, Herbalife, and resellers in Japan, LATAM, and the US.

I’ve got patents in mobile live streaming, personalized linear channels, connected cars with video, and soon Biologic Intelligence. I’ve founded or been an executive at a number of startups across algo trading, gamification, social video with voice/AI/emotion, mobile apps, and some robotics.

Finally, I’ve created/invented a number of things in my free time (PROME: emulated the brain and nervous systems of animals in software and robotics plus Humanizing Tech media publication, one of the top 0.007% websites in the world).

I’ve written articles for Fortune, HuffPo, been featured in CNBC, Pando Daily, The Information, etc and am a top writer on Medium for a large number of topics.

Happy to help you figure out your hairiest of problems and then execute them.

Freelance product + rails development, customer acquisition, user experience, growth

Tight product team looking to help pre-revenue or early revenue companies hit product market fit.

We've just finished up two years at the public company that acquired our previous startup. I was director of product management, my cofounder a senior software engineer. We're rails and sales.

On the search for the Next Big Thing but have some availability over the next 3 to 6 months while we figure that out.

7+ years experience across customer discovery, customer acquisition, UX, SEO, growth, product strategy, go-to-market and marketplace dynamics.

Consulting opportunities with post-revenue companies who are between still refining product market fit, through to scaling customer acquisition.

Would also consider pre-revenue companies with deep industry knowledge looking to build an MVP.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, Honolulu HI, USA - Available now Full stack developer with 5 years of experience in JavaScript and Ruby

Hi! I have a long history with Ruby and Rails but for the past two years my projects have focused on JS, and specifically on the bleeding edge of React. That said, there have been a breadth of projects in React, from very real time socket powered apps, to CMS apps that benefit from increased interactivity, to native-like graphics and geometry apps. I have some availability at the moment and am happy to talk to you about your project. Even if we don't end up having a business transaction, I'm happy to chat and talk about the technology behind your business and what works and what might work better.

I also have a background in finance and accounting, so if you have an app that deals with money, I think I can add extra value there.

JS Experience: Node, React, Redux, Express, Socket.IO, Immutable, Reselect, Jest Ruby Experience: Rails, Sinatra, Sidekiq, Rspec Other Experience: SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, CSS, Bootstrap, HTML, Jade/Pug, Haml, Slim
