SEEKING FREELANCER, San Francisco, Remote OK

Required Skills: Mobile and Web UI/UX Designer / Front-end Developer with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Responsive design, clean code skills.

I soft-launched a curated job-board in April => http://www.visaok.in/ Traffic steadily growing organically, but UI needs work, esp. on mobile devices.

About the Work

  - Budget = 2,000 USD fixed price (room for flexibility but not much)
  - Need the following static web pages templates developed in a mobile-first responsive way using HTML, CSS and Javascript etc

   1) Site Home Landing Page 
   2) Jobs Listing Page (with search filter form & email alert form) 
   3) Single Job Post Page 
   4) Post a Job Pages ( 3 tabs / panes) 
     4.1 Post a Job 
     4.2 Preview the Job 
     4.3 Finish and Pay.

   Nice to have, if you can fit it within the budget
   5) Blog Posts Listing Page (with search filter form)- I will provide wireframe 
   6) Single Blog Post Page - I will provide wireframe    
   
The goal is to take the static pages you develop using the wireframes I provide, and update the existing site theme so the server side code is wired up.

Here's how this works.

You:

  1) Look at my Budget and see if this is something you would take on (I know it's low for some peeps, but I'm bootstrapped too.).
  2) If you can work within my budget, shoot me an email to theblogdoctor (at) gmail with "HN" in subject 
  3) Include details about yourself, with links to past work etc. No 1 liner emails please.
  4) Wait to hear from me in 3 - 4 days
  5) If you've already worked on building a job board, that's a huge +, let me know...
I:

  1) Will provide wireframes to everyone who contacts me, if you say you can't price it with just the info above.
  2) Will review and vet applicants.
  3) Will respond to everyone who contacted me, by Sat, July 5th on way or another.
CORRECTION: I meant 'Sat, August 5th' in the last line.

What I do: CTO for small business / non-technical entrepreneurs

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 project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I specialise in working with non-technical entrepreneurs and providing a "CTO-as-a-service.” I take care of the technical side end-to-end, leaving you free to work on your business, rather than worrying about servers and databases.

Current projects:

* Improving the rendering accuracy of a web snapshotting service by migrating from a Node+PhantomJS build system to Elixir+Chrome.

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)

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

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote - Designer

I’m looking for an independent/freelance designer. I run a small consulting & development company, and we occasionally have need for ‘design’ type work on both internal and client projects. It’s not enough to warrant a full time position, but I need to be able to rely on someone when we do need something done.

Sometimes this will be small jobs to fix/adjust something that a client’s designer provided. Other times it will be start-to-finish design on large projects.

Ideally, I’d like you to be able to handle any of the following:

- Rough sketches of ideas (could be on paper or digital)

- Conversion of paper sketches (either yours or others) into digital sketches

- Creating vector artwork to allow scalable designs

- Converting existing bitmap artwork into vectors

I’m sure there will be other things I’ll ask about, but that’s the key things that I’m trying to get done recently/right now.

To clarify: this isn’t a one-off job, but it isn’t a full-time gig either. I’m looking for a designer I can depend on to get jobs done in a reasonable time-frame, when I need it. How that works in terms of billing is pretty flexible.

I don’t mind where you live or where you work from. If you’re living in/visiting Thailand, I’d love to catch up for a coffee, but otherwise I’d expect to converse via email, IM or VoIP calls.

I might consider small agency type companies for this, IF you can guarantee me I’ll have direct access to one or two consistent designers, and not just a black box of ‘design magic’ with a PM in the middle playing Chinese whispers.

If you’re interested or just want to know more, email me stephen@koalephant.com

Edit: PLEASE make sure you mention seeing this post on HN, because honestly I'm looking at an email right now that I can't tell if it's a response to this post or random-chance spam.
