Run a small webdev agency, and need a Django / JQuery / HTML developer to help with occasional overflow work (~20hrs / month currently, could grow significantly over time).
Remote work is perfectly fine. My email is in my profile. Please send examples of work (github, websites, etc.) and your expected hourly rate.
Thanks!
I also run a django dev shop, see http://cloudshuffle.com

Nomadic - in central Washington state until sometime in September. Would prefer projects that can be completed by October, not sure I'll be freelancing after that.
Studying CS with good grades at a top university.
I have experience building web applications for in-house use by clients, using Ruby (Rails) and Python (used Pylons and later Pyramid, and did a little bit of Django). While I mostly did server side, I certainly know my way around the front end.
Most recently I've been doing mobile development; iOS mostly, I have yet to launch anything for Android. I'm proficient in C and Objective-C, and 'getting there' with Java.
I also have non-work experience with Erlang and Haskell.
My website (with links to resume, github, contact, etc.) is at http://zuwiki.net/. Prefer contact by email or XMPP at zuwiki@gmail.com.
Oh and I'll accept bitcoin, but I'm no zealot :P
Cambridge/Boston, MA area or remote.
I'm the author of the CoffeeScript book, soon to be in print from PragProg: http://pragprog.com/titles/tbcoffee/coffeescript I also run @CoffeeScript on Twitter. I gave a talk about CoffeeScript at the latest RailsConf and am slated to present on CoffeeScript at the Web 2.0 Expo in October and Øredev in November. So as you might guess, I'm fond of CoffeeScript, particularly in conjunction with jQuery on the frontend and Node.js on the server.
Contact me if you think you might have a project I'd be interested in, especially if it involves novel UI design and data visualizations.

Thanks!
Primarily a Ruby/HTML/JS/CSS developer. I have worked with PHP, Python, C, C++, Erlang, Coffeescript, et al.
I have mostly used Rails for web apps, but I've used Sinatra, Codeigniter, and other MVC web frameworks.
I have used plenty of javascript frameworks, Prototype/Scriptaculous and jQuery are my favorites, but I think YUI, Dojo, Cappuccino, and Sproutcore are great and I have done some work with them.
SCM: Git mostly, some svn.
Contact me if you have anything cool going on :)
