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.
SEEKING FREELANCER Software Engineer in NYC: Red Antler is looking for a freelance backend or full-stack developer located in New York City. Candidates should have at least 3-4 years experience in a language like Python, Ruby, PHP, .NET, or Java, and 2-3 years experience in a web-based MVC framework (Django, Rails, Codeigniter, etc...). Candidates should demonstrate experience beyond creating basic CRUD webapps. We are looking to build a webapp to upload large amounts of images, read EXIF data and process the images simultaneously as well as the ability to manage and track the uploaded images. For more information contact [email protected]
I'm Tech Director at FARM Digital. We're a digital agency based in the UK, but the right person can work remotely from anywhere. We're looking for a PHP freelancer who is confident using Symfony. The work is mainly maintenance work on some fairly high profile e-commerce sites (> £1mil turnover/year), so it isn't glamorous, but we're a fun team to work with, and the work is based on a retainer, so it's generally recurring. I estimate there is 3-4 days day a month here for the right person.
I can be contacted on [email protected], or @jon_atkinson. It would be good to see some examples of past work, or Github/Bitbucket links.
SEEKING FREELANCER - in cities (Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto)
We are experiencing a surge of businesses in the form of project work the cities above (most needs to be local) in the following stacks: Node (SF), Drupal (NY, Seattle), Backbone.js and Ember.js (SF and NY), Rails (Chicago, NY), LAMP (Toronto), iOS (LA and SF)and Android (LA and SF). I know is a handful - but we vet and scrutinize every opportunity to make sure it does not suck and there is real money behind it. To take a closer look at the scope and size of each project ping me at manny at grouptalent dot com.
HappyFunCorp (http://happyfuncorp.com) - We're trying to find 5-10 good developers, and we're also interested in designers and project managers.
We do web and app development for a panoply of clients ranging from Fortune 500 to brand-new startups: right now the distribution is roughly 50-50. Most frequently Android/iOS apps with a Rails-on-Heroku back end, but there's a fair amount of other variety too (PHP/Drupal, HTML5, etc etc etc.)
We're loosely based in NYC, with another cluster of people in the Bay Area and a third in Delhi, but remote engineers are very welcome - most of us (including me) work remotely 90+% of the time. We prefer people with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt, but there are always exceptions. And we pay well.
Web app dev (PHP), web design, iOS & Android app dev/design, HTML build and perhaps 8 other things.
Skillz:
* PHP (mainly Codeigniter in recent times)
* HTML / CSS (5/3 respectively if you want hotness, XHTML and RDFa also if you prefer)
* Javascript / jQuery
* Titanium or Phonegap mobile dev
* Nice SEO
* UI/UX to some extent
* Git / Mercurial
Other stuff too numerous for a tidy post, but if it applies to the web I've probably had a go at it at some point.
I've worked on everything from Wordpress blogs to big e-commerce sites (big being relative but think $1m+/month). Also have a couple of new iOS/Android apps coming out shortly. I can see through an entire project from start to finish if required and have a lot of knowledge built up over time on what converts.
Seeking an engineer to help us build an ipad application that needs to take data from a medical device serial port & send it to a RESTful API (can be rails, python, or php). Also need someone to work on the Ipad app. If you can do both backend development & ipad development, great. If you're interested in just one portion of the project, that works as well.
Our team consists of 2 leading SF bay area physicians & myself, an engineer/designer. Could turn into consistant work or a FT position for those interested in contract-to-hire work as well.
- 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.
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...
Cheers!
SEEKING WORK – Remote / Washington, DC Metropolitan Area
- I’m a full stack web developer who can take care of your web presence end-to-end, including hosting and system administration, as well as building out your designs.
What I can do for you:
- VPS Setup & Configuration, whether for a web server or otherwise.
- General SysAdmin work.
- PHP / MySQL back-end development (have been using Rails at my day job for 6 months or so, but I’m sure your money would be better used with another Rails developer).
- HTML5 Front-End, with excellent knowledge of best practices, and how to best deal with browser inconsistencies.
- Javascript: Been developing with jQuery since version 1.3, and greatly enjoy using Backbone.js as well. Of course, I can do the same tasks with “raw” Javascript, it’ll just take longer.
- Responsive Design: I’m excellent at converting existing templates into a responsive design to allow for mobile compatibility.
- CSS: Whether it be debugging some wonky IE6 issue, or creating a solid Compass pipeline for you, I’m here to help.
- CMS: I’ve developed several in-house content management systems, as well as doing a large amount of work in Wordpress and (ugh) Joomla.
Looking for experienced front end javascript developer in NYC to help continue to develop an large Instant Messaging application. Code base is currently backbone with a Rails back end and some other custom components. Application is deployed and in use by 10's of thousands of customers.
No remote work, sorry. Prefer a generalist with good all around experience including back end Rails work if possible. Contract is minimum of several months full time and pay is excellent.
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
Migrating to AWS (e.g. from Heroku, if you want more control over your request routing and costs)
Server maintenance and optimisation
Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources
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, I'd love to hear from you - [email protected]
I'm a full-stack web developer who just started a small dev agency in Los Angeles.
We're ultra-focused on web development and specialize in providing technical capabilities to agencies who don't have internal tech teams, or providing capacity to dev teams who don't have enough internal resources.
Our delegation is completely abstracted - all communications go through me and all deployment goes through our standard, simple processes.
We're currently available for a 20-hour or 40-hour per week retainer, starting in middle March.
SEEKING WORK - remote welcomed, will travel, Winnipeg/Toronto based
We're a small (there are three of us) web/mobile development shop in Canada. We do all of the usual PHP work with all of the usual frameworks/CMSes (Symfony, CodeIgniter, Cake, Concrete5, Wordpress, etc) but we much prefer working in Python/Node.js when the project allows. Personally, I'm particularly interested in client-side Javascript (or Coffeescript) applications (eg. using Backbone), especially projects with real-time and/or data visualization needs.
I also have experience doing embedded systems work and projects that interface web or mobile apps with [remote] hardware, in case that interests anyone :)
I am a full stack web developer and consultant based in Vancouver, B.C.
I provide web development and consulting services to software development companies, consulting firms, creative studios, and more.
I strongly believe the best interests of my clients are critical to our successful collaboration on current and future projects.
If you have a business and are looking for a website, SEO, web security consultation, or even internal web applications, I would love to speak with you.
What I can do for you:
* General technical consulting
* Web security consulting
* Frontend/backend Development (PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, etc)
Rapid MVP prototyping with Rails, concept and user experience development, iOS dev, and user interface design.
I can be your one stop shop for zero to MVP including nailing down the concept and MVP details, user flow construction, UI design, branding, rapid prototyping in Rails or iOS, and launch. I work with two talented freelancers day to day and we all collaborate on different projects together. A designer/front-end dev, illustrator, and back-end dev that work really close and ship fast.
Combined skills:
* Ruby/Rails, Python, Obj C
* Backbone, Javascript/jQuery, other common JS frameworks
* Photoshop, Illustrator, all that good stuff
* Native and Phonegap iOS dev
* UI/UX
* UX testing
* Scaling high traffic applications
* Security testing and review
* Consulting for high-reliability code structure
We use best practices and do a damn good job. We're a great team of freelancers!
We need a Django developer to work with our co-founder and chief business officer at Human Software. This position is freelance, but can lead to long term or a permanent role for the right person.
The role is to develop Prospect - soon to launch as the web based service for hiring people. Prospect is the re-launch of the popular easyjobboards.com service.
Main Requirements
Knowledge and experience of Python/Django
Knowledge and experience of HTML, CSS and Javascript
Knowledge and experience of web application deployment and management
Send us a CV and cover note and we'll get back to you - contact [email protected] or use the contact form on our website at usehuman.com.
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:
Beagle is a Node.js mobile web app that allows college students to post and run errands on campus. http://getbeagle.com
We already wrote the API, and have designed and created the HTML templates for the various parts of the app. In order to launch the app, we need help doing a few more things:
- Creating a node module that exposes the API to the rest of the back-end
- Creating a messaging system between users (Socket.io or AJAX)
- Implement an authentication (log in) system
Familiarity with MongoDB, CoffeeScript, and a modern HTML template language is preferable.
Full stack developer: Node, PHP, Ruby/Rails, SQL and MongoDB
Mobile: iOS
I'm a super-generalist. I've done everything from developing for obscure ERP systems, to social networking sites, to mobile devices. Recently I've been pulled into the Node.js world where I've been designing data services and web services with Express and Restify on top of MongoDB.
I have immediate availability for most small projects. We can discuss longer-term engagements if needed.
