SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Highly experienced VP of Engineering & Lead Web Developer.

Skills:

* NodeJS/Meteor/SailsJS

* Serverless (going heavy on that one)

* Cloud technologies (AWS/Azure/GCP)

* Crypto/Blockchain - mostly the theoretical parts (understanding of different Proof of Stake algorithms, Solidity contracts) - Highly motivated to work with this.

* Wordpress/CodeIgniter/Yii/Drupal (Components, Hacks, Themes) - less motivated, unless truly cutting edge (or WP VIP projects)

* CI & Unit testing - Jenkins, Mocha & Karma for JS, Toast for PHP, as well as Selenium

* Django (general Python too) - to a lesser extent

Seeking: Challenging projects. Most recently worked extensively with Serverless & AWS APIs, building cloud-related prototypes, before that worked as an AngularJS specialist.

Example work: Upon request

Location: EU

SEEKING WORK, Prague, Czech Republic (think Germany) | Remote OK

Full-stack engineer, consultant.

"I have one goal: To produce a significant return-on-investment for you and your business."

I'm a software engineer, but I also studied a business school, which puts me in a unique position for solving your real business problems that lie behind the lines of code.

My engineering experience includes creating a brand new content delivery network for a filesharing service, developing new low-level network protocols at one of the largest Internet companies, or creating a Machine Learning tool that analyzes Facebook posts.

Additionally, as an author of a book for new and aspiring managers, I know how to work with people. And how to finish stuff, because writing and publishing a book takes quite some grit.

IT consultant, web and enterprise software developer with more than 15 years of experience.

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

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Backend development / infrastructure

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.

Previous work:

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* 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, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area on-site or remote

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~9 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes. I’ve also been doing some Swift lately.

In the past, I've worked with companies like CircleCI, Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently booked through the end of the year, but I’m always happy to meet up for coffee and chat.
