Summary: I'm a software consultant with 10+ years of experience who can take your web or mobile project from concept to delivery. I've assisted well known global companies like Just Eat and Triumph Motorcycles, created my own commercially successful apps and have a PhD from Edinburgh University so you can rely on me to deliver high-quality solutions on schedule. I can take charge of requirements gathering, design and development of apps, web services and MVPs as well as giving recommendations on solution design, software architecture and team workflow improvements.
-----
Previous work experience: Full stack development (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, OCaml), modern web frameworks (Express, Vue, React, WordPress, Django), mobile app development (Android, iOS, PhoneGap/Cordova), cloud hosting (AWS, Google, Heroku, Firebase) and website optimisation (performance, security & SEO).
-----
Portfolio: I've independently created two commercially successful apps where I was responsible for the concept, design, development, graphic design, UX and marketing.
- Checkbot for Chrome (https://www.checkbot.io/), a website auditor browser extension that checks 100s of pages at time against 50+ SEO, speed and security web best practices. This included developing a system for subscription based payments and authoring a modern web best practices guide (https://www.checkbot.io/guide/). Technologies: TypeScript, Vue, Node, Express, Firebase, Netlify, Paddle.
[ Rated 4.9/5, 20K+ active users, 100s of paying subscribers ]
- Fresco for Android (see https://www.seanw.org), a digital painting app which was one of the first on the platform to support layers. Features customisable brushes, image filters and robust undo/redo/autosave while being highly optimised for devices with low resources. Technologies: Java, C, JNI.
[ Rated 4/5, 500K+ free downloads, 10K+ copies sold ]

DevOps / Python consultant with over ten years experience building, hosting and fixing applications.
I work with engineering teams to make their products as scalable and robust as possible. AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, lambdas, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, training, security audits - you name it I've done it.
Recent projects include:
+ Migrating a sizeable websockets application based on django-channels to AWS Fargate. This took numerous modifications to a venerable codebase and shifting the 300+GB Postgres DB was far from trivial. The resulting setup has halved the stack's operating cost and greatly improved its uptime.
+ Re-hosting a large microservice node.js + RethinkDB web application on Google Cloud. The resulting stack (serving a busy news site) is deployed to GKE with a set of Helm charts and a minimal amount of custom tooling for CDN & image serving. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring. GKE has turned out to be low-maintenance and rock solid; I'll be glad to work with it again.
+ Rewriting a Python big data stack for a bioscience client. The result was a robust, scalable system deployed with Terraform/Docker to spot instances managed by AWS Batch. Benefits included better resilience, higher resource utilisation and vastly reduced cost/processing time.
+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerised hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances & continuous integration.
+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated crypto trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancing thread.
Are you mostly winging it when it comes to marketing your product?
Lack focus for your marketing initiatives?
I can help your B2B SaaS business sell your product to more software engineering teams. I'm uniquely able to help you because I'm both a software engineer and marketer. That allows me to understand your product, speak your language, and write code to scale your marketing.
I'm available part-time for one project immediately and more in the coming months.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, I can be reached via the email in my profile.
Do you need engaging, original content for your blog or publication? Documentation for your favorite new internal API? A serious revision of your website's copy?
I am a programmer and writer looking for projects writing and editing technical and business content. I also do audio and video.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE (travel possible) | Los Angeles, CA
I'm a freelance developer with 7 years of experience. I specialize in helping early stage companies bring their ideas to life as new apps and websites. Beyond creating a beautiful app with you, I'll make sure we're measuring the right things so you can get the best outcomes. I build apps to allow quick iteration and short feedback loops. My experience at startups has taught me how to pick the right features to build and validate quickly, which saves you money and time. I can help you integrate marketing, analytics, and sales to get the most out of your creation.
One of the first companies I worked with, SwoopSrch, I helped take their rough idea of what they wanted to an MVP in a weekend. Then I spent a year helping them iterate on the idea. I spent a few years at Rackspace building massively scalable cloud infrastructure. Then, I started as the first engineer at a startup, Triggr Health, building apps to help people in addiction recovery and help with mental health issues. My most recent client was the University of Maryland, who I helped migrate some Flash apps to React and handle some challenging performance issues.
iOS developer looking for new projects. Have experience with both Objective-C and Swift. http://nickpetrov.weebly.com/portfolio.html Feel free to get in touch at nickiosdev+hn@gmail.com for more info.
We need an eCommerce platform for small chains of brick-and-mortar shops (1-20) to list and sell their stock online. Mainly we are talking furniture, books, CDs and DVDs (... yes, CDs and DVDs).
Basically you'll build a more narrow version of Shopify.
We're not trying to win any Red Dot awards here but ideally you've got the ability to theme Bootstrap.
To give an idea, I'm expecting v1.0 of this project to come in at between $10k-20k.
SEEKING WORK - Remote I'm a freelance web developer based in Morocco. I do specialize in front-end web development and can also build simple backend applications.
Stack/Technologies:
• React/Redux
• HTML5/CSS3/Sass ...
• (A bit of) Django
We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.
Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.
We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).
As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.
SEEKING WORK | Technical Writer | Remote (US based)
Grant applications, proposals, manuscripts, manuals, documentation, reports, and other writing services.
Owner-operator holds an advanced degree in cell and molecular biology, has some experience writing software, and has about three years experience as a patent agent.
I work with established businesses to solve their problems through custom software. Typically this is building a customized CRM to store and act on your specialized data once you’ve outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf CRM products.
I can take you from initial problem realization all the way to a minimum viable solution, with maintenance and further enhancement available once the solution is in use. I have over 7 years of professional experience handling everything from small one-trick-pony billing apps to CRMs that manage an entire company from the ground up.
I don't just build something and then disappear, I want to be a long-term partner that grows your business.
What I’m Looking For
Long-term, slow-burn projects. Approximately 10 hours/week. I don't move fast and break things, I help improve your business carefully and methodically.
What I’m Not Looking For
* Full-time "whale" clients that need undivided attention to their project.
