SEEKING WORK

Location: Remote - I’m from the UK, living in Portugal

Availability: up to 3 days per week

I’m a JavaScript programmer, both front- and back-end. I’m familiar with ES2015+, the Node.js ecosystem and toolchain, and have been a web developer since my first website in 1999.

I have created and coordinated many web apps through my Brighton-based agency (http://dharmafly.com), and know what it is like to lead a project. These days I focus on my role as a freelancer for startups, companies and individuals.

Recent projects include: a Meteor/React-based community voting app; a Node.js web scraping spider; a SVG generator; and a test suite for a legal document generator. Happy to share details.

SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE

I’m looking for someone to work on a couple of Confluence plugins (Java code that works with the Confluence API’s to display extra information on a Wiki).

I’m thinking 10 hours a month so it could definitely be a small side gig. Good hourly pay, and I’m willing to entertain the idea of a retainer.

No offense, but why did you just copy my post from this thread? Can you really not write 2 simple phrases by yourself? Hell, you even copied my typo (MVP's is actually MVPs)

Also, your site, doorty.com is just http://html5up.net/aerial. What are you trying to pull here?

Nice catch! I can't stop laughing how pathetic it is.
Haha the competition is fierce! But your skills aren't exactly overlapping so it's not like there's actually competition here. On the bright side, you're a role model for someone else :)
It's even a shit post to copy, I don't get it.

SEEKING WORK

Remote (Based in Baltimore, MD)

Get more users, sales leads, or customers at a lower cost per acquisition.

I consult B2B tech companies on customer acquisition. That includes inbound marketing, acquisition funnels, conversion rates, lead generation, marketing operations, and marketing automation.

Past and present clients include:

- DevOps monitoring software

- Recurring billing platform

Far more technical and effective than your typical marketer; I deploy code and enjoy talking shop with engineers, data scientists, designers, and founders more than other marketers.

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'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.
