SEEKING FREELANCERS - NYC only

LiquidTalent allows you to click a button and request a phone call with hiring companies (both contract and full-time). Hirers need to respond within 30 minutes or else the request expires, and you'll know what they decide in that time.

We've been sourcing hiring companies from our personal networks, events we go to, etc.

Right now, we mostly have web and mobile projects with clients based in NYC. If that doesn't help you, you can still sign up, and we'll let you know once we expand.

We're still in the early stages, so any constructive feedback is appreciated. http://talent.liquidtalent.com/

We're review every application, so email me at ken@liquidtalent.com and mention HN if you'd like me to fast track your application.

SEEKING WORK - London or Remote

My name is Luke and I'm a full-stack developer with 15 years experience, specialising in JavaScript applications using React, Angular and Backbone and backend applications using Rails and Go with PostgreSQL, Cassandra and Redis as the datastore(s).

For the past five years I've been running my consulting company through which with the help of my team we have delivered many projects - see my website for a selection at http://sketchconsulting.com/, though please contact me with a description of your project and I will be able to show you more relevant work.

Currently I am available for either solo work or as part of a two man team with my dev partner who is also full-stack with similar skills and has good CSS, design and UX abilities.

I am best suited to medium sized companies who want to move fast while also requiring high quality development to a fixed deadline. My background in open source has taught me that sloppy application architecture is not acceptable.
