SEEKING WORK

Hello there. I'm a recent college graduate who specializes in: TypeScript, JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, DOM, HTML, CSS, Electron, Bootstrap, Material-UI, Semantic-UI, and CSS Grid/Flexbox. In a word, I can make impressive static landing pages, beautiful web-based desktop apps, and dynamic web apps.

I'm looking for very small green field projects to sink my teeth into, I'm talking on the scale of taking a week to complete, for no more than a thousand dollars. I don't have a portfolio to show, which is why I'm looking for a project that I can start my portfolio with! I know this is a bit unorthodox for this forum, but I feel that my standards of communication and software quality are up to par.

Email me at [email protected] and let's talk!

SEEKING WORK | Frankfurt, Germany | REMOTE-only

I have some time on hands I can spend on Machine/Deep Learning in computer vision, NLP and fraud detection (spot instances and series). I am both in bleeding-edge academia as well as in industry productionalizing state-of-art models (i.e. replicating proven papers that are 3-6 months old and putting them into production on problems that largely reduce to their assumptions). Recently turned a DenseNet and Wide ResNet multicategorical image detection into an SaaS serverless product, prototyped a Spark-based "classical" ML fraud detector ensemble matching performance of a hand-crafted one (Gradient-boosted Decision Trees, Random Forests, SVM etc.), identifying suspicious features using PCA/t-SNE/clustering and preparing another detector based on spot fraud detector (VAE) and time series fraud detector (VRNN/WBW), e.g. bot traffic. Automating customer service using sentiment analysis and mail classification/response generation. Self-driving cars, Deep Reinforcement Learning for robotics and program synthesis for research fun too.

Purely project based, i.e. you specify what you need and I work on a solution with agreed checkpoints (renumeration possible based on days or progress level).

While based in EU, there is no problem to spawn a company in Delaware to service US-based clients if needed.

SEEKING WORK | British Columbia, Canada | Remote

Hi there. I'm an experienced full-stack developer looking to do some contract work, either one-off or ongoing.

I've been building websites since HTML 3.2, building Rails apps for 9 years (and taught Rails at college) and am equally at home on the front-end. I've built an end-to-end festival ticketing platform that processes millions in sales annually, and an aviation maintenance platform that broke ground combining compliance to strict aviation regulations with an efficient, intuitive UI. (If you work with HTML email you might also have used my Premailer project from long ago.)

Over the past two years I've worked with React / React Native / redux, including reaching the holy grail of sharing all the business logic between mobile and web apps in a single code base.

Previously I worked in tourism marketing, so I also have a strong appreciation for keeping focus on ROI and clear communication.

I haven't had much time for OSS recently, but I'm happy to give you a tour of some private repos so you can see my work.

Back-end: Rails / redis / sidekiq, MySQL, Postgresql, Ansible, nginx, PHP / WordPress Client-side: ES6, React, React Native, Redux, CSS/SASS, Coffeescript, SVG, websockets, offline web apps

DevOps Process Consulting - Linux Systems Administration - Network Management

Hi, I’m Lee Whalen, Principal of Fuzzy Logic, a Seattle-Based DevOps consultancy with deep experience in providing business results through technical solutions.

We help SaaS companies save money on hosting through extensive automation - infrastructure deployment, code-checking/deploy, CI/CD - and good-practices for on-premise or public cloud management.

Business results we’ve obtained for our Clients include:

+ Savings in excess of $1.4M/yr by environment-wide migrations from Rackspace fully managed hardware to a privately hosted Openstack environment

+ A 33% savings from previous OpEx through optimizing public-cloud spend, replacing expensive SaaS products with internal services, etc

+ Cut DevOps engineer 'time to first commit' from two weeks to two days with documentation and optimized onboarding processes

SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with 17 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres and Chef/AWS. I'm also very comfortable in Angular, Vue, React, Java, and Python. At the low level I can write custom C Postgres extensions, use SIMD CPU instructions, or implement hot spots in Rust. At the high level I can design and wireframe features and show their business value. You don't want me to pick your color scheme though. :-)

I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member. I value client satisfaction as highly as technical excellence.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE, Portland, OR

* Creative Direction, Websites & Applications

The craft and science of creating websites is in my DNA. I care about keeping the web open and free. I care about good design. I care about the little details: typography, color scheme, readability, a clean layout and responsive design across all devices. I care about technological sustainability, about respecting users enough to protect their privacy and keep their data secure.

Technical Skills: product/project Management, UI/UX design, Jekyll static site builds, custom Rails CMSes & backoffice software

More Info & Portfolio: https://whitefusion.io

* Writing, Editing, and Content Publishing

I curate ideas and craft communications that provoke an authentic response.

I can take your raw ideas, the inception stages of your content pipeline, and transform them into professional, polished work.

An essay. A short post. A social media quiz. An inspirational quote. An in-depth tutorial. No matter what the need is, whether it’s 1500 words or 15, I’m up for the challenge.

SEEKING WORK -- Gainesville, FL -- remote/freelance

I am an experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Flask, Django, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), GUI development, database access (using MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, etc.

I am looking for full-time or part-time work, either one is fine. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done (perhaps on a regular basis), then I would love to hear from you.

I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python).

(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - [email protected] I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have a little experience making Android apps, and my open-source Android app Ceilingbounce has happy users.

I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.
