I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I'm comfortable with clojure, python, erlang and ocaml but I will learn whatever is the right tool for the job.
I would consider full-time work for the right problem/team. I'm also interested in partnering with other freelance developers to cover the whole stack.
I'm considering freelancing in London - I'm also into machine learning and algorithms. I would love to hear about your experience - has it been easy to find work in this area?
17 year old iOS developer with a wide range of other skills.
I'm looking to take on some freelance work to add to my portfolio of work. I have previously worked with companies such as Mostly Serious and Treehouse mobile, as well as undertaking my own projects. Any offer would be fantastic, and you'd be helping a young developer get a start in the industry.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or offers at [email protected]
Thanks in advance,

There are times when a client has a graphic designer they usually work with and bring me in to do the technical end. There are also times when a client expects me to handle the coordination - making sure I have what I need from different stakeholders to drive the project forward. This is normal for me, although work that involves a series of well-defined bugs and features does occasionally turn up.
SEEKING WORK - Remote/Chicago (Willing to travel, too.)
Interface design shop. Specializing in visual design and front-end development of applications and sites.
Proficient with: HTML(5), CSS, Javascript (jQuery), Wordpress, and Tumblr. Also well versed in responsive design. Capable of working within Rails apps using Rails templates (ERB) and the asset pipeline.
What clients say:
"Ryan Glover did a fantastic job building out a number of web properties for us. He’s on the ball, executes action items quickly, stays on deadlines, prices his services affordably and is a wonderful person to have as a colleague. I’m a fan!" - Elliott Bisnow, Founder/CEO of Summit (http://summit.co)
Looking to work with:
Corporations - Help with cleaning up existing software.
Startups - Looking for solid application UI and marketing.
Studios - Looking for help with overflow/extra pair of hands. Also, project collaboration.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (Based outside of Philadelphia, PA)
I'm a developer with design chops focusing on creating web and iOS applications. I love consulting with talented people to help realize great ideas and solve interesting problems. I’m passionate about taking an active role in my clients’ projects and hate just sitting back and being a dumb code-monkey or pixel-pusher. I enjoy really digging into my clients' challenges and working with them to come up with compelling solutions.
Technically speaking I'm strong in front-end (HTML5/CSS/jQuery), back-end (PHP/MVC.NET), and (native) iOS development. I've been told my full-stack knowledge paired with my ability to concentrate on the little details while not loosing sight of the big picture is a unique and extremely valuable asset to the teams I've worked with. The majority of startups I've worked with have asked me to move and come work for them. So that's a good sign, right?
I just wrapped up a long-term contract with a startup on an iOS project (as lead dev and a UX guy) and I'm ideally looking to take on another iOS project.
- 5 years Ruby on Rails (full stack).
- 13 years of engineering.
- 4 years user growth.
Looking for long-term or short-term consulting work.
Specialize in Rails (full stack) and user growth
(marketing/advertising). I'm a hybrid coder and marketer
with a proven track record. I love working on-site and
work just as well remotely.
I'm a friendly guy with an aggressive attitude and good
communication skills.
I'm looking for projects solving real problems. My belief
is that the product should reach customers ASAP and
that's what ultimately matters. Testing code is good, but
not the end-all be-all. Iterate on what works and make it
better.
I'm a believer in customer development, mining data for
user behavior that we can code into features and marketing
campaigns.
Have built new, and worked on existing, Rails applications
including (but not limited to):
- A permission based advertising platform.
- An e-comm up-sell marketing platform.
- A social media platform.
- Most recently one of the largest e-commerce flash sales
sites.
Contact me below to have your problems solved.
Cheers!
We would like to hire a competent and reliable freelancer with mostly frontend (but also some backend) skills who can help us with web design/development tasks on an on-going basis. Good communication skills are very important to us, especially if you work remotely and may only ever talk to us over email or phone. We'd like you to have a good eye for design (especially UX) and be able to create some well thought out frontend code (Bootstrap ok). This can turn into a steady stream of work and lots of potential referrals. We like independent thinkers who don't need to be micromanaged, but we gladly provide as much guidance as desired.
Who are we?
We're an elite private school (grades 6-12) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to make learning engaging, joyful, and fun. We love technology and have some very competent hackers working for us. You would be working closely with our full-time web developer, a Hacker News reader who used to be a freelancer himself. We have a lot of exciting web projects coming up and could use someone's help to get us to completion faster.
Interested?
Great! Send us an email (instructions in profile) with the following info:
- your skills
- link(s) to previous work/portfolio/github or whatever shows off your skills
- your rates
- your location
Startup. Bright team. Looking for EOIs from hackers who would like to be part of a great young company. Low, but not unreasonable pay. We compensate by giving big bets on the company to people who work well with our team.
Our workflow: You will get a few compartmentalised, crystal clear jobs to do, not a 1000 item todo list. It's mostly non-ui code.
I am a sysadmin who loves to efficiently solve business problems. With a DevOps background, twelve years of sysadmin experience, and a passion for problem-solving, I am keen to help HNers achieve their goals.
My main areas of expertise are:
Scaling high traffic websites
Designing highly-reliable applications
Building applications on AWS
Server maintenance and optimisation
Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources
Developing prototypes and full sites in Django
Although primarily a sysadmin, I am also experienced with Django/Python development. I am building my own startup with these technologies, so I know the sort of problems startups face.
I am building a business around the idea of a 'sysadmin as a service' for those people who need regular sysadmin work, yet do not have enough projects to justify hiring a full-time sysadmin. Would you like a friendly expert to work on ad hoc projects and also be available for emergency support?
If you'd like to discuss any of these services in more detail, drop me an email - [email protected]
I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now, and love building high-quality products (or at least try my best for it!). I started freelancing a few months ago after my stint as a single founder. One of my first clients was a HN member for whom I did remote contract work for almost a couple of months.
I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)
To give an example of me trying out new things, my current gig is related to conversion optimization(s) and driving growth for a startup in the education domain. I am up for any work that is challenging & stimulating.
Please see my profile for the contact & other relevant information. Just drop a line to say hello, it's always good to interact with fellow HN members!
SEEKING WORK - Remote/Freelance Python/Django/jQuery, with extensive experience building e-commerce marketplaces. I have a research background, data analysis, playing around with NLP right now. I run a django dev shop, currently taking gigs for it. Here's my portfolio:
* http://www.cloudshuffle.com/
Experienced web developer with solid front-end knowledge.
Proficient in: JavaScript, Java, HTML/CSS. Used to be proficient in PHP, now a bit rusty. I really like Python and Ruby, little work experience with them though.
Good computer science and development principles foundation (algorithms, testing, CI, deployment).
I don't have a freelance portfolio because I haven't done much before. Right now I'm waiting for a work permit and have quit my job; I want to do some work on the side until I relocate.
I am open to any type of work as long as it's interesting, I will charged based on my experience (i.e. I will charge less for Python, Ruby or mobile app development as long as you're willing to accept a slower development pace).
If you're interested, you can find my email in my profile.
Z-prototype is a small iOS and Web development shop in the Midwest that specializes in apps that integrate into web services. Just some of the work we've done this last month includes a group photo-sharing application, an app that integrates with various APIs for making donations to charities, and a web application for certification accreditation for a niche industry. We specialize in white-label work for other agencies, but we also accept direct clients who are looking for wholesale app development rates for larger projects.
Email me at [email protected] and we can go over your idea for free, no strings attached. Unlike others we don't charge for or set a time limit on meetings - meetings are always free, because we want to build you the product you want. You pay only for time spent coding.
