Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2022)

[whoishiring]

SEEKING FREELANCER / (I'm in UTC+1) / remote / Help with adding projects to https://kitspace.org

Kitspace is a place to share ready to order open hardware electronics projects. You can order the the circuit board and all components for a project with just a few clicks. I’m seeking a someone to help improve the documentation of projects by asking creators whether they would like to mirror it to Kitspace.

The way to do this is to send Github pull-requests to projects (some examples: https://github.com/Ottercast/OtterCastAudioV2/pull/8, https://github.com/gregdavill/d20-hardware/pull/2 and https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover/pull/180). As you can see in the examples it requires clear communication and some familiarity with electronics parts and making bills of materials. Most importantly it requires a mindset to try and help and improve the project in question through documentation rather than badgering people to add it to the site. Familiarity with Git, Github and at least one electronics CAD software (KiCad, Eagle etc.) is also helpful.

Naturally this gig is fully remote and the number of hours and length of contract you would like to commit to is up to you. Time zone is not dictated either, though some overlap with UTC+1, for the occasional meeting, would be ideal.

This is a fully open source project and does not turn a profit hence the budget is limited. I’m looking for people that can accept a rate of USD $20 an hour.

Please send applications, including a CV, via email to [email protected] . If you have any questions feel free to ask on this forum below or via email or private message.

[Chris_Newton]

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote

I have over 20 years’ experience building software, specialising in:

• Technical applications (mathematical, scientific, engineering)

• Software for hardware (embedded, IoT, lab equipment)

• Interesting presentation (custom UIs, mocap animations, data viz)

My target market is start-ups/scale-ups/SMEs needing immediate help with either hands-on development work or strategic advice, technical design, etc.

For small to medium applications — such as an MVP for a startup, a UI for a hardware product, or implementing mathematical models and visualisations for researchers — I can offer a fully outsourced development service if required.

I can also join an existing team temporarily to give a short-term boost, perhaps helping with a challenging project or co-ordinating a larger initiative across teams. This can include a training/mentoring element if you need to upskill quickly.

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React for UI work) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more mathematical elements. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.

[pjungwir]

SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with 20+ years experience. My specialties are deep Postgres consulting and web development in Rails/Django/React. Occasionally I write some C or Rust for performance-sensitive problems. I've very comfortable with DevOps work in Kubernetes, AWS, Ansible, Chef, etc. I've recently done a couple paid projects in Elixir/Phoenix, and I'd love to do more.

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 Independent Devops/infrastructure consulting. Remote US, some travel ok.

I’m a highly driven, generally easy-going devops and software engineer, with an eye for detail and over a decade of hands on, in depth experience designing, implementing, and maintaining:

    HPC solutions
    distributed cloud and native applications
    application and container platforms
    bare metal and cloud deployments
    green and brown field infrastructure
    solutions in numerous languages and programming paradigms
    networking and security

I’ve worked for many different types of organizations, in many industries, with people from widely different backgrounds, with a track-record for success. I enjoy solving problems and empowering people. While I specialize in technical solutions, I am acutely aware that not all problems are technical. I help optimize business/people processes as well; from streamlining processes, to tearing down silos, to redefining demarcation points.

I can help future proof your startup or modernize your enterprise.

[contraptionco]

SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies. I want to help a new startup build their MVP, or convert a low-code prototype to code.

I have a decade of development experience ranging from new startups to publicly-traded corporations, and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major startups. But, my passion is building things - and I can use my background in software and product to build scrappy, polished applications quickly for companies.

I can handle end-to-end web app product development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design. I can also offer CTO-as-a-service for existing teams that need help growing or scaling.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:

- https://postcard.page

- https://booklet.community

Can do hourly or weekly billing, and I'm open to flat-rate pricing for well-scoped projects.

SEEKING WORK | Europe | Remote preferred, Onsite possible

Hi, my name is Till.

I always like to help people, so if you need help with anything, let me know! :)

I'm mostly offering short-term consulting. Usually, I work remotely, but I'm open to traveling to visit you short term. I can help get things running, especially when you're a young startup or launching a new project.

For example, maybe you have written a web app and need it deployed to the cloud. Or maybe you want to scale your product to meet the demand. Or maybe you want to launch your app in a new market, requiring a translation system and a new cloud deployment strategy. I can help make these things possible!

Buzzwords: C#, F#, .Net, C++, Typescript, Rust, Elm, C/C++, AWS (Cloudformation, CDK, S3, CloudFront, ECS, Lambda, RDS...), Rust, and terraform

I've also worked with hiring and product planning. You can also reach out if you just want feedback on your app or code.

[rglover]

SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract, Remote, Tennessee, U.S. (Central Time)

I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer and UI designer. I run https://cheatcode.co, working primarily with my own framework, Joystick (https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick), as well as React.js, GraphQL, and Node.js (open to others as well).

Looking for short-term freelance and contract opportunities (long-term is possible, too, if the timing makes sense). Best suited for working with small teams—startups/standalone or embedded in bigger co's—and individuals looking to ship:

- Full-stack web apps (internal or customer-facing).

- UI implementation (HTML, CSS, any JS framework)

- Command line tools

- REST APIs (private and public) -- can do GraphQL APIs on request

- Technical documentation

- Infrastructure/deployment setup (Bare metal, Docker/k8s, Lambda)

My working style:

- Communication-heavy. I prefer clients/projects that don't shy away from investing in getting everything on the table up front and keeping communication tight throughout a project. 1-on-1 via Zoom/Discord preferred for clarity/avoiding miscommunication.

- Detail-oriented. If it needs (or you want it) to be done well, I'm your guy.

- Design-focused. I put an emphasis on UX (or DX if the project is for devs) and ensuring that what gets shipped is most likely to generate a ROI for you/your team.
