For full disclosure, I have a criminal record from about a decade ago (and will be glad to disclose details to anybody that might be interested, but not a breach of trust or theft or anything like that) and that has hindered my job search. I have been consulting since then and am looking for a stable position. I have experience doing work for large and small businesses and understand many processes both in application development and management. If anybody is willing to give me a chance or at least get in touch, I would greatly appreciate it. If I need to relocate, I would definitely consider that.
Thank you.

I got 5 years of experience in Fin-Tech and over 9 years combined in Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science and more. I'm experienced in Vue.js, Django, Phoenix framework, Quasar, Hugo, Laravel, ClojureScript, PostCSS and Sass just to name a few. Pick up new tech easily and like working on complex products. Fin-Tech case-studies available upon request but other case-studies can be seen on my website: https://gilli.is
I can provide the following for you:
- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.
- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.
- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.
- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.
I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

I am acting as intermediary for a local education company here, that is not in tech and mostly tech illiterate. Lots of small to medium missions. You will deal with me, but mostly looking people who are able to work from a basic set of requirements (it needs to do this, have to have this and that, cannot have this and that, respect this theme color) rather than hand holding every step.
For now I'm looking for:
- frontend developper oriented mobile and tablet: capable to take a not so pretty but decently made desktop site of 6-10 pages at the most and make it usable on mobile, mostly with alternative css and with as little html change as necessary. Need to solve: leads source moved from 90% desktop to barely above 50%, site horrible to use on mobile.
HTML / CSS / JS
- website ux designer for a single purpose web app: make the mockups, get them validated, make the final design, get them validated. Optionally make the final html, but original plan is to use a frontend dev to turn the design into code. Need to solve: quizz and exams online.

Lab Spend provides lab management software to help research labs operate more efficiently. Labs are like small businesses and appreciate tools that help them with order tracking, inventory and procurement. Recently, we updated our pricing search engine to help labs know what they should be paying for chemicals and supplies (think what Zillow does for houses is what we're doing for lab supplies).
We're a small team, looking to hire a full stack developer with a focus on Laravel and Vue.js. Our stack also includes python and postgres. The job would also include improving test coverage and existing code. Preference to someone that can work or significantly overlap with 9-5pm EST. We're looking to hire at a rate of $30/hr.

We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services. Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.
We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native). As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.

What I do: I take MVPs that you’ve outgrown and upgrade them to support the next stage of your growth.
There could be any number of reasons why your current system is holding you back. Wherever you’re starting to feel the pinch, the price of ownership is that you don’t have the luxury of saying “that part’s not my problem” or “I don’t get involved at that level.”
You won’t hear it from me, either.
20 years handling a wide variety of IT roles and projects mean that I can help through the whole process from high-level strategy right down to code, all based on a deep technical foundation.
In the past I've been a network engineer, 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 project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.
Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Clojure, Elixir, Perl (5 & 6), Common Lisp, Rust, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, FreeBSD

I'm a software engineer with 10+ years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.
I've organised a couple of jobs through HN now; it's been a good way to find interesting projects, and my clients have been pleased with the work. One said: "Thank you! I've played with it a bit and it looks very impressive! Way better than what I imagined this project could be."
If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.
I haven't yet found a programming language that I'm not productive in. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally. Last year, I quickly picked up Typescript, and soon helped the rest of the team understand it better, and I completed 23 days of Advent of Code in Rust.
I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

Résumé/CV: jonpurdy.com/resume.pdf Email: [email protected] (will respond from my real one)
I'm primarily a Technical Project Manager looking to help teams build software more efficiently.
In previous infrastructure roles I've spearheaded numerous projects, brought service endpoint uptime from ~95% to 100%, took over and grew a team, and improved team performance by implementing Infrascrum methodology. Since 2018, I've implemented Scrum and Kanban, coached junior development teams, and successfully completed and released multiple software projects, both internal and for clients. I also acted as a product manager for many of the internal products we created, developing product mission and vision statements, roadmaps, gathered user feedback, and built user-facing documentation and product websites.
As mentioned in "Who wants to be hired", I'm available on a contract or full-time basis. I have been independent since September, but wouldn't want to turn down any interesting full-time work, hence why I'm open to both.
I’m best able to fill the following roles: scrum master, product owner, technical product manager, Agile coach, or project manager, or some sort of combination of them.
Thanks and please email me if you have any questions or just want to chat.

Brief Résumé/CV: http://lpolzer.com/ -- contact me for my detailed CV.
Email: [email protected]
Looking for remote contract or freelance work, but generally open to other opportunities. Consulting and hands-on.
I specialize in backend and scripting work, and have worked on a wide variety of projects over a span of more than 15 years. I can ramp up to new tech and environments quickly. My last gig was as a software engineer at Amazon Vancouver for 20 months. I speak German and English and a tiny bit of Chinese. I communicate regularly and precisely and can also talk to clients to refine requirements. Honest and fair.
"We were working on a tight deadline for an accelerator program and he did an excellent job of completing the prototype with enough time to make tweaks and launch before submission. [Leslie] was wonderful to work with: a great listener and understood my vision for the product; he put together exactly what I was looking for despite starting with just a vague idea and several basic sketches. I have a consulting/VC background that lacks in technical experience so I relied on him heavily to make several choices, and he was decisive and worked confidently despite the ambiguity. I would love to work with him again in the future!"
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to hearing about your project.
