Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancers? (April 2011)

I have a baby on the way and hours outside of my day job to turn into dollars. I work for a defense contractor, and the contract I work on disallows any work above 40 hours a week, so I have plenty of time on my hands that I'd rather not spend looking at Babies-R-Us catalogs with my wife.

I live in Denver, but strongly prefer remote work. I've worked professionally with Java, C++, Javascript (both in browsers as well as an embedded scripting language) Groovy, and PHP as an intern and am currently on a quest to figure out Lisp to see what "the profound enlightenment experience" ESR talked about is. I'm open to small, one-off jobs as well as a long-term relationship, but because this baby is approaching at 60 seconds a minute, it wouldn't be prudent for me (or cheap for you) if I quit my day job to pursue another opportunity full time.

My contact info is on my profile page. If you've got anything you'd like done, let me know and we'll work something out.

Remote work only. Live and work in Austin, TX.

I've worked with Java for 13 years and jQuery for over 3 years. I'm open to anything really as long as it's interesting and gives me a reason to get excited to sit in front of my computer for full days of coding. Something that's interesting to work on would take preference over something that's dull but pays well. Flexible to work on your schedule. Contact me via the e-mail in my profile.

I work full time as a web developer for a transportation company, but I am looking to start freelancing more. My tools include PHP, Javascript, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and HTML/CSS coding. Email is in my profile.

I'm a full time developer concentrating on doing high quality front-end / UX work for web applications and startups. I can help you handle both design, app-flow, mockups, as well as the cross browser compliant HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript required to build it.

I also have especially good experience working with Ruby/Rails/Sinatra/Rack based applications (due to the fact that I've built many of my own from scratch as self produced applications).

I'm working on a startup, but have to pause and do some short-term consulting to pay the bills. I am particularly interested in helping anyone who needs system-level work done, in C, on Linux or Unix environments. I have experience working with filesystems, and have written custom network filesystems which run on top of Samba. Although I have never done any kernel hacking, I would love to learn it and will give a substantial discount to anyone who gives me the opportunity.

We are located in New York City but remote work is totally fine.

We are rebuilding the backend of our application on Google AppEngine. Solid Python/Django skills are required. AppEngine experience would be a big plus. Familiarity with browser addons/extensions is also a big plus (Chrome, Firefox, IE).

Remote work totally fine. We prefer at least 10 hrs a week that you can commit. 20+ hrs would be great.

Would love to see work samples, github code, resume, random facebook photos, and blood samples. (kidding)

Seems like a little flexibility on either side could get good results.

iPhone/iPad developer looking for extra work. Contact info in my profile.

*To those seeking work, it would be great if you provided a link to a list of your past work and/or portfolio.

Quality design concepts, website layouts, user interfaces & marks/logos/brands/icons. Only taking on concept work at this time, too backlogged with development.

Remote work preferable. Nomadic, currently in Hong Kong.

I've worked professionally with python, ocaml and erlang. I've worked in search ( http://bit.ly/ji-texsearch-opt , https://github.com/jamii/texsearch ), testing ( http://bit.ly/ji-fuzzer ), distributed systems ( http://bit.ly/ji-mealy ) and am making inroads into p2p ( https://github.com/jamii/dissertation , http://bit.ly/ji-telehash , https://github.com/jamii/erl-telehash ). I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning) .

I'm willing to work on anything interesting but my main interests are distributed systems and p2p networks.

I'm a developer with about 10 years experience. I started out using Perl scripts in computational biology, and have long since left the research world behind. My skills include OO Perl, MySQL, PHP, JavaScript, Lucene/Solr, Objective-C, and of course my current favorite: the powerful Django, Python, Postgres, jQuery combination. I have even been known to do some web design (keep it minimalist!).

I've worked on projects spanning the spectrum, from startups that never got beyond 10 users and a virtual server to those requiring several dedicated servers, an index of millions of documents, and plenty of moving parts to keep everyone happy. I'm pretty dogged in solving any problem that comes my way during a project, and really enjoy the process of learning new skills.
