SEEKING WORK - London, UK, remote.

I'm a full stack web developer, with experience in Ruby on Rails, jQuery, R, Javascript, HTML/CSS. My projects are listed here - http://giniji.com/hrishi.

I built all of my first startup's product Pretty Graph using Rails, jQuery and R. It's a web app for data visualisation. You can try it here - https://app.prettygraph.com. I also manage all the hosting and maintenance.

I have good writing skills. I've recently published a cookbook on making graphs using R - http://www.amazon.com/R-Graph-Cookbook-Hrishi-Mittal/dp/1849....

I'm currently working on a shopping search engine - http://giniji.com, again mainly using Rails and jQuery. The focus is heavily on a fast and innovative user interface, with javascript and CSS playing a major part.

I've learnt everything about programming and building products from hands-on experience. I am very good at picking up new technologies and like working with other people.

If that sounds good, please email me at [email protected].

Skills in order of mastery: Django/Python, MySQL, HTML(5), CSS(3), Javascript (& jQuery), C#, VB, Java, C, PHP, Ruby

Can do full stack sites including server config. Experience with AWS deployments.

A few sites I have built recently: http://smacktweets.com http://askforadeal.com http://mahalo.com (the homepage)

LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/travisfischerwebdeveloper AngelList: http://angel.co/travisfischer Github: http://github.com/travisfischer <- Admittedly not much there. Major resolution to fix that in 2012. Email: trav.fischer at gmail dot com

Has anyone successfully booked work from this thread in the past? Seems to be a ton of freelancers but not a lot of demand for freelancers on this thread? Are there other places online where we should promote this thread since it must be a pretty solid list of top tier engineers looking to book work?

SEEKING WORK - remote (potentially on-site) NYC I'm a Python web programmer, that means I've also got JavaScript, HTML, CSS and so forth covered. I can do full-stack development, complete buildout to deployment. My preference is to work with Flask. In fact I've done a number of projects with it and at this point feel it's one of the best Python web frameworks available today.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based on the Caribbean

2 person development team. A few years of experience working for a company with a small team that provides software development solutions (mostly web, but a couple mobile apps) to clients in the USA and Canada. Now we are on our own.

We have experience working with Rails, C# (ASP. NET MVC), PHP, Javascript, Android and few other languages and platforms.

Currently we are working mostly with Rails and Javascript/CoffeeScript while loving every minute of it.

We are interested in doing the best possible work and leaving you satisfied since we think referrals from past clients are the best source of new opportunities and we want to build a reputation.

We believe in code maintainability, reducing waste, good communication skills and living up to our word.

Send us an email and we could set up an interview via Skype or whatever is most convenient for you so that you can get to know us and see if we would be a good fit.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

I can do two things!

- Front end: HTML 5, CSS, JS/Jquery.

- PHP development. I'd like to do more 5.3 but I'm more weathered in 5.2 due to client demands. Also Codeigniter. But I can pick up most things.

If you're really desperate, I can hit things with Perl too.

I use Mercurial for source control but I'm comfortable with git also. I'm familiar with most modern day practices & processes. I won't say I've been overly-exposed to something like Agile or TDD for instance because I haven't. But I get these things and I learn quick :)

I have worked on pretty much every kind of site imaginable now and would estimate I've built an area of internet roughly the size of Ireland.

My own site is currently temporarily based at http://pitbot.pgkit.com (and something else I threw together at http://applab.pgkit.com). Happy to supply URL's of other recent work (and not so recent too if you like history!)

Email is in profile.

I'm UK based.
