SEEKING WORK (REMOTE) - DEVOPS (KUBERNETES, AWS/GKE AUTOMATION) CONSULTING

We're a team of 7 engineers at Reactiveops.com that do AWS/GCP automation centered around building your own PaaS with Kubernetes. We also do "DevOps-as-a-Service" where we maintain that PaaS for you and do additional stuff on a monthly basis (we're in your slack, working 1-1 with your eng, etc.).

We've worked with companies like Boxed, Betterment, Node.io, etc. and can work with small startups to bigger companies. And, we open source all of our code so there's no lock-in for the stuff we make (based on kops, ansible, terraform - e.g. https://www.reactiveops.com/blog/using-k8s-scripts/ and https://www.reactiveops.com/blog/kops-102-an-inside-look-at-...)

Feel free to email me at matt [at] reactive ops dot com or call me 917 336-3943 for more info!

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco, Will Travel

I'm an independent consultant who focuses on exactly one problem: the horrifying AWS bill.

I help control spiraling costs, predict future expenditure, and identify opportunities to trim the bill without impacting the engineering teams who are using it.

If your AWS bill makes you unhappy, we should chat; I'm corey [at] quinnadvisory.com

SEEKING WORK Remote (Based in Baltimore, potentially available for Q3+ only)

I help software companies meet customer acquisition goals. Need faster growth, more revenue, greater ROI, lower acquisition costs, higher retention, or more efficient marketing operations? I can help.

Past and present clients include a multinational telecom company and software companies in the following verticals: IoT, devops monitoring, web development, data engineering (ETL), recurring billing, enterprise data science, mobile ad-tech, ecommerce, and enterprise databases.

Far more technical than your typical marketer; I deploy code and can talk shop with engineers and data scientists just as well as with marketers.

Think you could use my help? Send me an email (greg[at]gkogan.co) or read more at http://www.gkogan.co.

SEEKING WORK - Based in Nashville, remote preferred, but open to travel for larger projects, major meetings, etc.

I'm an independent iOS developer and product manager with personal experience as a startup founder. I have deep experience with Objective-C and Swift, as well as backend experience with LAMP (esp Laravel, CakePHP, and WP), RoR, Parse, and Firebase. Getting into React Native now as well.

Though I've done lots of things, I really focus on MVP mobile apps for startups. I help startups go from a great idea to having a polished app in the hands of their users.

To be blunt, if you know exactly what you want and "just" need it coded up, you can find someone cheaper.

BUT if you have a broad concept and you need someone who understands the entire product development / startup funding / business growth lifecycle and how to get things done within those constraints, I'm an excellent fit.

I've built and launched dozens of complex native iPad and iPhone apps and worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies to build and grow apps to many millions of collective users.

I'd love the opportunity to work with you if things are a good fit!

Just to avoid wasting anyone's time, I try to focus on just a few clients per year, so generally, pricing options start at $20k. Feel free to reach out anyway though, I love HN and hearing from members of the community :)

You can reach me at [email protected] or text me at 650-646-3914

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, plus the million billion other fiddly ones we all brush past/through in our own work

SEEKING WORK | Boston | Remote or local

Algorithms / Machine Learning / Optimization Problems / Statistics as well as the full stack infrastructure to build a product around it (generally Flask + HTML/CSS/JS/D3.js, occasional React).

General R&D stack is Python + Numpy + (Theano | TF) + Jupyter on AWS. I've also used MATLAB extensively.

Experience: Image processing, deep learning, kernel methods, graphical analysis, bayesian methods, statistics, compressive sensing, linear algebra, signals processing and systems calibration, performant convex optimization, customer behavior interpretation and analytics, finance analytics/predictions, visualization.

Generally I work on problems involving both mathematical derivation and performant algorithmic implementation. I've built a number of internally used customer analytics tools for my clients to push on sales / conversion metrics which enabled triple-digit percentage improvements as well as significant executive insight. I've also built end-to-end MVPs for early stage startups looking to demo an ML-enabled product.

Education: MIT Bachelors '13, MEng '14

I have a small website/blog up at www.highdimensionality.com, though I've been working on private work mostly these days to there's not a lot I can publish.

SEEKING FREELANCER

Location: New York, NY, USA Remote OK: Yes

Code For Cash (https://codefor.cash) is a network marketplace that matches freelance developers with gigs and matches entrepreneurs and hiring managers with freelance developers. We have a new, exclusive opportunity - our client has an app that pairs users up to debate hot political and sports issues. Users have 10 seconds to make their argument, and then their take is scored automatically by the computer.

Here's where you, the freelance deep learning engineer, come in:

* We need an API that takes the audio video clip as input, along with a flag indicating 'sports' or 'politics', and returns a credibility score of 0-1.0.

* Your deliverable needs to be self-learning from v1 you ship

* You can use heuristics to help this. For example, vocabulary, decibel level, consistency in volume.

* Your solution can leverage cloud APIs such as Google Voice recognition, Microsoft Emotion API (see this: https://benheubl.github.io/data%20analysis/fr/), and the Readable.io API.

Send quote (timeline and cost) to [email protected]. This is a c2c/1099 gig.

[+] gargarplex|8 years ago|reply
Some additional information:

* No corpus of existing data

* Client is open to leveraging mturk for training, at least initially

* Fast latency is important, but something on the order of ~5s is probably ok for v1

* ~85% "accuracy" is ok for v1

I bring a solid skill set to a team that allows me to adapt to any design related role. And not to pat myself on the back too much but every developer I've ever worked with has sang my praises. ;)

SEEKING WORK - Remote Only, Mexico

Technologies: Scala, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Git, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Jax-RS, Slick, Finatra, Sinatra, Security, Web, AngularJS, APIs, Apache Spark, Hadoop, Docker.

Résumé/CV: I'm a generalist who have worked in several areas (embedded devices, j2me, android, desktop, web, back-end, front-end, BigData), currently I work mostly with Web Applications and BigData.

I can do a lot of things and I can learn fast what I'm required to.

I'm focused on writing maintainable, secure and scalable applications, I always try to apply good coding practices to make the life easier of the people who will work with my code.

I'm pretty interested in security related things, I've been passionate about security for the last years, I know about common vulnerabilities (exploit and prevent) and how to write secure software. It can be good to mention that I learned to program because I was trying to do reverse engineering like 8 years ago and took assembler as my first language which I learned by myself.

I've experience working with demanding clients, switching schedules to what a client prefers and I have great communication skills.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Charlotte, NC

Freelance full-stack developer - I've built backends, APIs, and iOS and Android apps to help a number of startups get off the ground quickly (and secure funding!). I can also put together data pipelines for ETL and analytics projects.

I can improve performance, triage complex bugs, and integrate 3rd party APIs into your product, or scope out an MVP or full project from start to finish.

I have experience with many more but these are the skills I use the most right now:

  - Go, Python, Swift/Objective-C, C/C++, Java, etc.
  - Postgres, Redis, AWS, Nginx, Docker, etc.
