Just a note-- it's probably better not to have the "seeking work" option at all, or at least in another thread. It creates a lot of visual spam to sort through if you're looking for "seeking freelancer" positions.
Actually, this format works out quite nicely. If you're browsing this thread and seeking work, you ctrl+f "SEEKING FREELANCER". Likewise, if you're seeking a freelancer, you ctrl+f "SEEKING WORK". Makes finding exactly what you need a breeze. And those responses that include neither of these terms are overlooked, for better or worse.
I'm primarily interested in freelance work, but full-time is also a possibility, and I'm willing to relocate. I'm currently in the Bay Area.
I have several years of experience in data mining, statistics, and machine learning (doing everything from quantitative trading and pricing, to building recommendation engines and mining search engines). I pick up new languages and technologies quickly, though I work primarily with Ruby, Python, Java, R, Rails, and Hadoop. To use a buzzword, you can think of me as the prototypical 'data scientist' -- I love doing everything from building dashboards to display data (Rails, Sinatra, Javascript), gathering data and cleaning it up (Ruby, Hadoop), exploring and analyzing data for patterns (R, Python), and coding machine learning algorithms for production (Java).
* 15 years of software development experience (Objective C, C, Ruby, Java, Perl, Python, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, CSS)
* 5 years of Objective C/Cocoa experience
* 3 years of iPhone experience with published apps
Especially interested in healthcare technology, but will consider any web/mobile projects. Contact me via my website (http://guelich.net/) or HN profile. Contract work only, will not relocate, and no unpaid/equity projects please.
While this is remote-only for now, it'd be great if you were local -- we're building out a long-term team and will be setting up an office in the coming months.
I'm with a 5-person team working on a real-time web + mobile application. We just finished a prototype, raised some seed money, and are headed for greatness. Hopefully. This is a chance to work on some architecture from the outset of the product. I'd prefer those who have a possibility of coming on long-term as I build out the team, most likely around Palo Alto, but do have immediate needs that lead me to consider splitting up short-term chunks of development for freelancers. In any case, we're distributed for now so remote is the only possibility.
1. Advanced web jacks-of-many-trades. You know a lot about several things from above and have at least tried your hand at a demo app using the rest. Backend/frontend/deployment.
2. A specialized front-end dev who knows their javascript in-and-out. We're designing a single page architecture for the most part. Mobile browser experience would be good.
3. Mobile app developers (native iPhone & Android, though we're considering phonegap as well to get something out there faster).
We're staying distributed for now -- I'm based in Palo Alto but spend a fair amount of time with some of the team in DC as well.
SEEKING WORK Remote or based in Brighton, UK (so London is fine)

Looking for freelance work but feel free to contact me about anything

My portfolio includes a lot of successful commercial projects and facebook games. I love building awesome user experiences and go the extra mile to make users happy.
