SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have minimal experience making Android apps. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps.

Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure.

Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of. Github: https://github.com/zakwilson

SEEKING WORK - NYC Metro and Remote

I’m a full stack developer with a strong design sense. I've worked with small startups and large companies to build iOS, OS X, and web applications. I have proven experience taking products from idea to launch, as well as improving existing products.

I have a knack for learning new languages and frameworks, but I’ve worked with these previously:

- Objective-C and Swift for iOS and OS X

- Ruby (with Rails and Sinatra), PHP, and Node.js on the server side

- Javascript, jQuery, Sass, CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, and Browserify on the front end

Los Angeles/San Francisco/Remote

Remote preferred, willing to travel

I'm a front-end dev who makes beautiful user experiences a reality. I believe in modular, scalable CSS based on BEM principles and I follow the AirBnB and John Papa style guides when writing JavaScript and Angular.

I've worked remotely most of my career and so I know how to thrive in that environment - I'm a self starter who communicates effectively and consistently.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Are you short on engineering staff? Get a proven team ready to move your project forward!

As experienced consultants and former founders, we understand tech companies. Running a business is hard. You have to wear many hats. Let us wear the ones we're great at!

Nervous about hiring freelancers? Question the quality of their work? We started Uplift Agency after 15+ of combined experience to end those worries. We’ve worked with companies like MIT, Humble Bundle (W11), FlightCar (W13), Mozilla (Firefox makers) and more.

We work to understand your product and take initiative to help your projects do even better. If you're looking for code-monkeys you're visiting the wrong zoo. We'll speak up when we think a project is heading in the wrong direction.

For more details and examples of previous work, including testimonials, please visit: https://www.uplift.agency

Isn't it generally frowned upon for agencies to post here? It is for "freelancers"
My agency is composed of a few freelancers: maybe that's his situation, as well?

Still gotta eat ;)

Fair point. My brother Marius and I used to post separately, but now we formed a 2-person LLC. It's still freelancing at its core!

Also I agree with @odonnellryan :)

SEEKING FREELANCER: remote, though I am in South Florida

Technical product manager, preferably a CEO-wannabe

I need somebody who can be a thinker. Your job is not to do the work/coding; it is to decide what needs to be done and to do a good job directing others in doing it.

Part-time, 5 hour/week small project to start. If we work well together, can increase to as much as you want or full-time.

Types of tasks available: - technical: - - improve current products and user experience - - create new, related ones (MVPs) from scratch - website growth. Do what needs to be done for continued growth. - if you are interested: work with me and others: strategic planning, online advertising, content creation

Technologies used: MariaDB, C#, JS, etc. Knowledge of C# and all that goes with it not required.

You would have a background in coding and managing people and projects, and an interest in the full range of tasks of running an online business. Ideally, you would do much of my job as founder.

We would start with a small project, then move on to bigger ones.

Established ad-supported website with millions of users.

Please contact me at the email address in my profile if interested.

SEEKING WORK -

  Location: Live in Boston, NYC. Regularly in Chicago for CME work.
  Remote: On-site available + international to any US friendly reason (I hold DoD TS clearance, and don't want to lose it, so Yemen isn't quite possible).
  Email: andrew[at]amplete.com
Specialties - Came from a math background. Started with Q/KDB+ in finance, moved to enterprise J2EE (WebSphere ND and WebLogic setups for re-insurance companies), then to enterprise ASP.NET (WebForms to MVC) and SiteCore. That pivoted into Dynamics NAV/AX and CRM work for a bit, before moving into SAP ECC (FI/CO) and other ERP implementations. Some legacy maintenance of iOS/Ruby projects (feature and bug enhancement).

More recently, RTOS hardware (QNX, VXworks, Pulsar & Rocket, eCos) and design engineering to get through FCC (EMI pretesting) and FDA MDR certification. Did the standard enterprise technical pre-sales/project lead for projects from 2009-11, as well as pivotal in getting SBA federal contracts through for the SEC, DoD and DHS (yielding ~230MM USD in just under 3 years).

Experience in military (TS/SCI/Poly security for the DoD), healthcare (was a primary consultant on a few projects with Blue Cross/Blue Shield), and finance (proprietary trading of specialty instruments at institutional funds).

Rate - A function of the project. The market has been kind enough to me that I can go from free (if you're doing anything academic and need to get something done but are low on NSF/NIH grant money, I'd be happy to help especially for places like the Broad Inst., Max Planck, etc.) ranging to market rates for the more enterprise solutions. Will also work for free as the engineer grunt for any pure mathematicians working on algebraic topology, combinatorics, or lattice theory (though I can't imagine the need for that), thought I'd throw it out there.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Operating from the Netherlands, timezone UTC+1. Fluent in JavaScript, both front-end (mostly Ember, RiotJS, and React) and backend (NodeJS, Electron). I did my fair share of front-end engineering, so CSS (or SASS) holds no secrets for me. I wrote quite a bit of Android code, both Java and NDK stuff, as well as React Native for both iOS and Android. Experience with JavaEE 7, although I wouldn't call myself an expert. Can pick up almost any technology fairly easily, and I'm interested in expanding my current knowledge, so do not hesitate to contact me even if I haven't mentioned the technologies you use. I'm available for tiny to medium size projects.
