SEEKING WORK / remote / San Diego

I'm a full-stack startup and web system technology junkie. I think in Python and have used it professionally for over 8 years.

I have over six years of post-collegiate industry experience working full-time and contract for bay area startups ranging from the seed to Series B level such as Getaround, Matterport, and Manifest Commerce. I have also completed projects for Sony, Google, and CVS through my work as a freelance consultant for digital advertising agencies.

I'd be a great fit for MVP build-outs, big data infrastructure and platform work. I love designing, implementing and testing robust production systems that scale with organizations and delight their end-users.

I'm currently enrolled in the Udacity deep learning nanodegree and would also be very excited about any projects with an ML/AI component.

Most recently I've been doing contract work on an open source GIS tool for the government (https://github.com/terranodo/eventkit-cloud). Previous to that last year I delivered a Slack bot MVP to a client starting from the early ideation stage. I did the backend build out and managed front-end and design resources for the project (growthbot.io).

Some technologies I've worked with recently: Flask, Python, Django, Celery, Postgres, SQLAlchemy, numpy, PIL, opencv, gdal, DynamoDB, Redis, Google App Engine, AWS, Docker, Jenkins, ETL jobs, work queues, datadog instrumentation, Google Analytics API, Facebook Ads API, PostGIS

SEEKING WORK - Toronto/Remote

I've (http://redgetan.cc/) been building software for 5+ years and have built and published native Android/iOS apps on Google and Apple Appstore with tens of thousands of users. I have 20 hrs/week of availability, can either work remotely or locally in Toronto and can help with client projects that need to be completed in a tight deadline or projects that need to be improved for 2.0 version. For my tech stack, it includes but are not limited to - (Swift/iOS/Android/Ruby/Javascript/Node.js/AWS/Firebase)

Here are some reasons why you would want me over others:

* You're looking for a self-starter who would can build things from scratch and handle everything from front-end, back-end, devops, mobile, and willing to get his hands dirty on learning new things even if its outside of tech (i.e user acquisition, cold emails, etc..)

* You're not looking for a co-founder, but you want to iterate your product to meet certain milestones that could potentially get you to better traction sooner than later, and eventually attract the right people for your team.

* You're looking for a two-way relationship, where we can both learn from each other, and collaboratively define goals to reach them, as opposed to me simply following everything you say.

If any of the above meets your criteria, send me an email at [email protected] and I would love to hear from you.

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.

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 - Remote preferred

I make native iOS apps for startups and product companies. My expertise is communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to efficiently build an MVP with a solid foundation for future iterations.

In other words, clients praise me for my speed, communication, and pragmatic design decisions to get things done without delivering crap that needs to be thrown away in the next iteration.

What's my secret? Not only am I an experienced (5+ years) Swift and Objective-C developer, but I have also had my own successful app on the App Store since 2012.

Apps I create have been regularly featured on the App Store, and one had the honor of being presented in Apple's 2016 WWDC keynote.

My experience as an independent iOS developer, when combined with my previous client work, means I can own the iOS development process from any point between idea and your millionth App Store download, and I've probably seen any potential gotchas before.

If you are interested in working together, please say hi at [email protected].

SEEKING FREELANCER / London, UK / Remote okay if you can pair remotely.

GoCardless

We’re looking for someone to work with us for a couple of weeks to build a .NET-friendly client library for our API.

We’d like to work really closely to build a modern library that follows the best practices of the .NET community, and then to convert it into a template (our libraries are automatically built from templates and a JSON schema defining our API, so we can crank out new versions as soon as our API changes!)

Examples of our existing libraries can be found at: https://github.com/gocardless/gocardless-pro-java https://github.com/gocardless/gocardless-pro-ruby

If you'd like to get an idea of the sort of developer experience we try to maintain, take a look at our tutorial documentation at https://developer.gocardless.com/getting-started/api/

Does this sound like something you’d be interested in? Email me ([email protected]) and we can discuss the requirements in more detail.

SEEKING FREELANCER - I'm in the US -- Anytime is good - Remote is okay as long as we communicate

Got a project for scraping. I'm testing casperjs/selenium. However, we/I are curious as to whether a faster process can be implemented by using the browser (chrome/firefox) directly.

Here's the thought process: -we have a file with complete urls. (these urls could be inserted into the browser manually, and the resulting content generated) -we have an extension that runs within the browser. the extension can be "triggered/fired", to read the urls from the external file, and to extract the resulting content (dynamic or static) and to write the content to an external file. -ideally, the whole process would be able to access/use multiple tabs within the browser space to iterate through the list as fast as possible.

This is obviously a short term project. We're looking to talk to someone asap to see if this is even doable, and to then scope out the process.

This is (hopefully) the 1st of a number of projects we/I have a need for!

If you're interested, send me your contact data to [email protected]

thanks -bruce
