Someone downvoted 30+ posts on here, all in a few minutes. That's not really how downvoting is supposed to work. If people are submitting spammy or offtopic freelancer posts, then downvote them, or if a person has a really awesome freelance post, then upvote them, but don't game the system and make everyone's posts grey.

I'm a full stack web developer available for hire. I can pretty much do anything web-based you have for me, but my standard packages are:
My 'stack': Overall, I'm looking for quality clients and interesting work, and I'm a student so that definitely factors into rates and discounts as well.Something recent that I've been a part of was GoCodeColorado (GoCode.co), a government run statewide competition regarding web application development for civic purposes. I won 1st place at the Denver level, and made it to the top 10 in the whole state, where the top 3 won $25k and the opportunity to get $250k more. During this experience, I worked quite a bit with the aforementioned stack, winning acclaim for my work with the UI, data visualization/mapping, and scalability of the backend of the product I built.
Some relevant links:
Looking forward to hearing from you!- Krish Dholakiya (krishna.dholakiya(at)gmail(dot)com)
Edit: Downvotes? Is something wrong with my post?

My name is Ram Rachum, and I’m a freelance software developer. I help businesses solve their problems using software, mostly by developing web-based applications. I work mainly in Python and Django.
On the technical level, it’s my responsibility to have high problem-solving skills; to design a good architecture for each project I work on; to implement that architecture quickly and effectively; and to be experienced with the languages and frameworks that I’m using, so when a problem comes up, I don’t have to spend 2 hours to research and solve it but rather just 5 minutes, because I’ve seen that problem dozen of times before.
On the project-management level, it’s my responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with the client and my collaborators on the project; to understand exactly what the client wants to build as we plan together how to build it; to always keep the client updated about progress; to have an owner mentality and make decisions with the best interest of the client in mind; to own up to mistakes when they happen; and to always get feedback as early as possible from the client and from the users, so we know we’re not wasting time going into blind alleys, and we’re spending time only on features that the users are happy with. My email is [email protected] . Send me an email and say hello.

We used to, and still do, develop a lot of MVPs (2 or 4 of our MVPs got acquired for approximately 30x what we dev'd them for), but moved into the reporting, BI world. So it's more ETL and OLTP -> OLAP to Data Cubes and MDX these days. Front-ends are usually done in the traditional SPA usually with Knockout and React.js). ASP.NET C# since 3. WebForms, and classic.
We still do develop MVPs in iOS and Android for around $30k-50k for mobile applications and we also still specialize in turning around failed projects (we have an unbelievable amount of customers who went to odesk and got half-written products for $6k-- we fix these.)
Then there's the un-sexy ERP/CRM/PPM stuff. Tons of SAP ECC/Basis/ByDesign experience. Dynamics CRM/XRM and NAV. A bit of AX but just enough to hack around.
Probably not the venue to espouse this talent but, hey, in case you have a legacy business that needs work, especially BI work, our small shop is the Bain (or BCG?) of analysis. E.g. we integrated 3 segmented products (1 COTS, 2 dev'd in house), generated a dashboard where managers could choose their KPIs and generated ~485k in revenue (~35% above forecast) while eliminating redundant labor.
Cleared for federal TS/SCI. Willing to travel for week long+ engagements. Starting at $120.
Email me (principle) at [email protected] for case studies and a time to setup a phone call.

I'll be taking a break from consulting for the next few months, and I have a project with a fantastic client that I'd like to hand off to someone capable and trustworthy.
The project is a VPN client for Windows and Mac OS X. It's written in C#, .NET, and Xamarin.Mac/MonoMac, with a dash of Objective-C. OpenVPN is used for VPN connectivity, and the client integrates with firewalls (Windows Firewall, pf on Mac), monitors Wi-Fi connectivity, and a few other things. It's a client/server model with the UI built using WPF/XAML (Windows) and Interface Builder (Mac), talking to a "backend" Windows Service and LaunchDaemon on Mac over localhost.
I'm looking to find a strong candidate I can recommend to my client. The work will consist of adding functionality (UI work is relatively minor) on both platforms, resolving bugs found by customers in the field, etc. The apps are mostly feature-complete, but there is always room for improvement :) Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls), and significant experience working with C#/.NET is a must. Some experience with Xamarin.Mac, Mono, Objective-C, Cocoa, and Xcode are highly desirable :)

Thanks for looking!

Hello!
I'm a Front-end Javascript / Meteor Developer. I also have some experience with BackboneJS and Angular. Love great UI / UX design, I design web apps using Sketch 2.
I'm interested to work on web apps in the following spaces: fitness, travel, health, community improvement, learning & education. There are more I haven't thought of, but generally not interested in business tools and social networking/messaging apps.
If you have an idea for a webapp, I am available to develop your MVP with the meteor framework, a highly funded javascript platform that's nearing it's 1.0 release. It allows incredibly fast development of new ideas to test the market. For justification, check out http://differential.io/meteor
I'm available to discuss your work in person in the SF/Bekerley area. Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks for reading!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a full-time freelancer who's been fully booked for the last couple of years, but, due to recent changes in my life, I am currently available for up to 20-25 hours per week. I mostly do Python these days.
Some things I've recently completed:
- RESTful API for a mobile app (Database design, PostgreSQL, psycopg2, Flask, Jinja2, collaborative filtering, NumPy, SciPy, json, Sphinx)
- A couple of scrappers for large amounts of data (BeautifulSoup, lxml, PyQuery, pdftotext, pdfminer, NLTK, requests, MySQL)
- Concurrent, asynchronous, scalable tool to check wide variety of responses over HTTP (Python 3, XML, ElementTree, concurrent, requests)
- Scalable, non-blocking proxy for Android/iOS/BlackBerry push notifications (Tornado, Supervisor)
- A couple of mobile-optimized websites (jQuery Mobile, SQLite, PHP)
- Many others
I'm partial to FreeBSD, Vim and the command line, but I adapt to circumstances. I'm a quick learner and largely self-taught.
I've also completed a few dozen gigs in a major freelancing website across a wide variety of skills. At one point or another I've been paid to develop in C, Perl, Java, x86 assembly, Matlab, Fortran and a few other languages.

I've been a full-stack web developer for the last four years. Before that I worked as an accountant, a bass player, and even built point-to-point tube amplifiers. These days my main tools are Ruby and the Rails ecosystem with some work in iOS and Clojure. I've built analytics systems, consumer-facing health care sites (not the big one that failed!), and enterprise-oriented education products. I'm also good with APIs and infrastructure.
My main strength is the combination of humor and empathy I've developed throughout my diverse experiences. The code needs to work, but it's a pyrrhic victory if the complementary human realities of the stakeholders and team members involved are ignored. Before I program anything, I listen, ask questions, and think.
Available for part-time engagements (20-25 hrs/week) involving development, project management, or strategic planning.
