SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.

Freelance developer based in Brighton (50 minutes from London). I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality. Happy to work on my own or as part of a team.

I work a lot with Python (Django) and Javascript (React, React Native, D3.JS) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.

I have been working React Native quite a lot since its release last year and have a couple of apps in the app store with more coming soon.

Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.). Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has typically led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is working with a small, experienced development team to develop the 2.0 version of the software for an image-guided brain surgery system.

Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and some sports analytics software solutions.

Technical keywords: C++, C#, Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, LabView, Rails, R, Python, and more.

SEEKING WORK - Dublin, Ireland. Remote

I am a freelance consultant working remotely from coffee shops around the world. I am experienced in refactoring spaghetti code and building and launching MVPs. I love to write solid scalable code , but also be involved in the overall product design, marketing and pre-launch, launch and post-launch strategy.

I am a full stack developer, but prefer working with PHP (Symfony 2 and Laravel) as a server side tech or using Firebase with Angular or Ionic. I am also the creator of the Firebase newsletter (http://bestoffirebase.com/).

I am flexible and quick learner. My main motivation is launching successful companies so I will not accept projects that I can not deliver a solid ROI. You can contact me via:

SEEKING WORK - London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.

I'm a senior/lead DevOps with 15 years experience tuning & hosting web applications and I'm on the lookout for the next challenge.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancer thread.

+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice-based projects

+ Lots, lots more.

SEEKING WORK, Copenhagen, remote work / freelance

I work with Node/JavaScript, primarily ECMAScript 2015, some Python, Docker and almost all services offered by AWS.

I used to spend my weekends in a server room back when I had eksperten.dk (largest Scandinavian tech forum; sold it to IDG). My code is simple, clean and while I mostly build backend services like API's, I also work with Angular and am looking into React.

If you have slow services, I can optimize almost any service for speed and stability, usually making it as fast as Google PageSpeed recommends.

I have experience from x.ai (2nd hire) when I lived in New York, and many other startups, including my own: https://lorem.tech

My experience is strongest in tech, but I also co-wrote a book about Twitter, and have been in the web business since 1995, so I can assist on all aspects of building a product.

I can build you a complete product, or focus on tech, and if needed pull in more resources for design etc.
