SEEKING WORK - Remote & Atlanta (remote preferred)

I'm a full-stack developer based in Atlanta. I've built a profitable startup, so I know how to solve problems and get things done with a minimum amount of direction.

I can take on projects at any stage--from sketches on the back of a napkin, to 20 year old legacy code. Whether you need someone to build and deploy a complete product from the ground up, or untangle an existing mess, I can handle it.

I'm an excellent communicator, and I will provide clear and concise status reports through every phase of the project. My job is to make sure you never have to worry about how your project is going.

I'm good with Ruby/Rails, JavaScript (plus many js frameworks), C#, Java, Go, CSS3, and HTML5.

I also have a strong foundation in computer science (B.S. in CS and constantly learning), and experience with many other languages and frameworks. I can handle anything you can throw at me, so don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see your technology stack listed.

Rates $60-90 per hour. Weekly/Monthly discounts available.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / Las Vegas area

I'm a generalist with a vast amount of experience working with web technologies. I am capable of doing system admin and orchestration (ansible is my favorite), backend code (I prefer django and tornado) and frontend UI work (who isn't using react nowadays). I also have non-professional experience doing games and mobile apps. I'm a big fan of android and I've done a lot of native and non-native (cordova, kivy, react-native, love2d) things with android. I have a lot of experience with building consumer crypto products (my current and previous full time jobs are at security product companies).

SEEKING WORK - Engineering and Sales - NYC or Remote

Senior Software Engineer seeking ~20hrs/week. I'm the odd guy that also loves sales tasks in moderation. My weapons of choice are Ruby, Javascript, and an AWS stack, but I consider myself a fast-learning polyglot. I am currently learning Elixir.

14 years in engineering, 6 years managing teams, deep early-stage experience, comfortable with sales & wearing many of the hats.

I love both engineering and the business side (pitching, basic accounting, defining processes, business development).

Favorite gigs: Prototypes, supplementing existing teams' velocity, civic/non-profit projects, teams which feel like family.

Let's release!

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.

What I do: Reliable, scalable services.

In the past I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular job, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I can help you build a back end for your new web or mobile app, or architect a scalable platform to power it.

Previous work:

- School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

- Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

- High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

- Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

- Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

- Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

- Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir, FreeBSD

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

iPhone / iPad, Android, Apple TV & Apple watch apps. Also API's and web stuff if you like! I'm a generalist/full stack mobile & web app dev. I mostly specialise in iOS & Android apps these days, as well as building out API's if required - and the website too, why not.

Recent work has included a cross-platform white label app and backend serving over a thousand individual apps & counting, a tablet app (iPad & Android) for overseas college students to browse matching courses/view media from prospective universities, an automotive social network app for iOS & Android.

Happy to supply links & more details on request - my contact info is in my profile.

Techblast: JS, PHP, Titanium, PhoneGap, React Native, Codeigniter, Laravel, HTML, CSS, node, Wordpress, AWS, Parse.

I'm UK based.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Highly skilled at: * Django and full-stack web development (8+ years) * System administration (Debian Developer, etc.) * Almost any open source work (see https://chris-lamb.co.uk/posts/free-software-activities-in-a... for recent example)

If you are in search of a reputable software developer with a track record of producing high-quality and maintainable code, please get in touch to discuss your needs. As former Technical Architect at Thread.com (YC S12) and Playfire.com I was responsible for two major Django codebases, receiving acclaim from my peers for scaling both the site and the codebase in a maintainable and reliable manner whilst still delivering features at an extremely fast pace.

In addition to significant development on the products themselves, I was sole system administrator, deploying servers and performing low-level diagnostics to investigate performance, security and configuration issues. I also introduced quality assurance tools such as configuration management (Ansible, Salt, cdist), continuous integration/deployment (Jenkins) and code review to detect mistakes and regressions as early as possible.

As a freelancer, I have debugged, designed, and implemented projects in C, C++, Python, Java, Bash/POSIX shell, etc., and I also have assisted technical teams with their infrastructure and architecture so they can deliver better results faster. Native English speaker.

SEEKING FREELANCER

Santa Cruz, CA - team is 100% Remote.

North American time zone required. Unfortunately this is a hard requirement. "I am willing to work on US time zone" is not good enough (it lasts for a little while and then I start to feel bad about waking you up :)

Fluent English a huge bonus.

Technologies: iOS (obj-c) and Android.

Familiarity with: github, CI, various SDKs (marketing, tech, etc)

I am looking for more team members for AppAftercare, my app maintenance business. The work is unusual (mostly small fixes and tweaks) as is the way I want you to work (need to be pretty responsive to issues as submitted, but can be fitted around other project work you might have) and the way I compensate (a fixed monthly, per-app fee regardless of workload).

Most of our developers use us to fill out gaps in their freelancing schedule and get some guaranteed income.

Am also looking for iOS and Android developers looking for part time work (eg 1 full week/month for several months in a row)

Please email me with GitHub repo links as well as links to apps in production + your current hourly rate and location.

SEEKING WORK

Location: New York City Remote: ok

I build web and mobile applications for startups and established businesses in NYC. I've mostly focused on Rails and JS development for the past couple of years, but have a wide and deep technology background garnered from about 20 years of programming experience. I pride myself on delivering working software quickly and continuously, and helping clients make well-informed planning decisions by providing timely and open feedback.

Within the past year, a few things I've done are: - For a major film production company, reimplemented a Python Flask HR application in Rails. - For a boutique strategy consulting firm, developed a Rails and Javascript strategy mapping tool. - For an online education startup, developed a React-based chat system.

I have a small number of trusted partners (designers, developers, project managers), so I am able to take on projects of a variety of sizes.

I have a web site up at http://www.customary.nyc/ (I recently started a rebrand, so it's rather bare) and can be reached at paul@customary.nyc
