SEEKING WORK | Central Europe | Remote two-person web development team, also hireable individually

My partner and I have extensive experience in architecting, building, and managing large custom-made web applications.

Recent projects: https://codetree.co/case-studies

Throughout the last decade we built Airbnb-like platforms, music streaming apps, healthcare/finance/construction apps, real-time GPS vehicle tracking suites, worked on core systems of big data platforms (millions of daily transactions) and more.

We mostly collaborate with companies, but also have a lot of positive experiences assuming CTO-for-hire roles to work with non-technical founders.

I specialize in front-end, UX design (Javascript ES6+, React, Vue, Svelte, HTML/CSS, Webpack, Node, etc.), and also do light back-end work.

My partner specializes in back-end, DevOps, system administration (Ruby on Rails, Java, PostgreSQL, Elastic, Docker, AWS, etc.), and also does light front-end work.

I really dig the way you guys present your portfolio as "case studies". I've often wondered how to do this myself since showing source is kind of useless and often conflicts with NDAs. I thought about videos and short blog posts but you guys really nailed it.

gargs
SEEKING WORK | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Remote Only

Native iOS developer, experienced in refactoring old code as well as writing in modern Swift. Previous experience includes senior positions at various multinational companies, all of them with apps in top 5-15 of their respective categories.

I have been remote for 5+ years, and would prefer to stay so, but if there's an amazing opportunity that requires a little bit of onsite time, I would be glad to discuss!

I don't have much, if any, of open source work, as I have been very focused on my apps (which are also my hobbies). In my off-time, I have worked on personal apps that I some day hope to make successful in their own right, but those that I intend to use regularly.

Flexible about availability, timeline, schedule.

SEEKING WORK | Colorado, USA | REMOTE, CAN RELOCATE

Software architect with over a decade of full stack experience. I've been working with React since its inception, and I have a strong knack for finding the best (simplest) solutions to complex problems while ensuring understandability, flexibility, and long term maintainability.

TypeScript, Serverless AWS, Google Cloud, SQL (Postgres, etc.), Linux, Robots (automation in general), Unreal Engine, Machine Learning (Tensorflow)

CV: "nobots" is the pass https://1drv.ms/b/s!At2wvjSCjhYqg1nfSI5UWC96XVoQ

Two tips:

I can't download that file without logging in to a OneDrive account.

I'm human, and I have no idea what that is for.

It's only asking for a password, and that's what the string is for
sixQuarks
requiring a password to view a resume is the opposite of "finding simple solutions for complex problems"
lukehager1
I've received a lot of spam from bots scraping my CV, which has been made apparent by the fact that they contact me via information listed only on my CV.

If someone is incapable of taking 2 seconds to enter (or copy and paste) a few letters, even on mobile, then they are probably someone I'm not interested in working with anyway, so this prevents everyone from wasting time. Life is short. :)

promptworks
SEEKING FREELANCER | Philadelphia & New York | Local only

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.

Skills we are currently looking for:

  • Ruby & Rails
  • Elixir & Phoenix
  • Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Lambda
  • Python
  • React, Angular
  • React Native
  • .NET
  • iOS, Android

It's a shame that you require onsite visits multiple times a week for only 20-30 hours; I am a local-to-Philly .Net software architect and while I would love to pick up another 20 hours a week of work, I have a full-time job so cannot meet onsite between 9 and 5.

If you can be lax on this requirement I think it will expand your contracting pool greatly!

I'm looking for a short project such as fixing some gnarly bug you've got, adding a specific server side feature, fixing a performance problem, etc., rather than serving an ongoing need. Shoot me an email at camhenlinhn@gmail.com if you'd like to chat
