Web application developer with 10+ years experience. Past projects include several custom CMSs, a 911 dispatching system, and financial apps for state government. Latest project was a mobile app using sencha touch and phone gap.
Primarily work with ASP.NET MVC C# but looking to get involved with projects using python or ruby.
I'm willing to work on anything but my main interests are distributed systems and p2p networks. My current project is described at http://bit.ly/ji-mist
Frontend / PHP developer. Lots of lots of front end stuff, several very large CMS/e-commerce projects completed. Also mobile. I'm from the UK. Prefer remote but willing to do on-site if it's interesting enough :)
Email in profile. Happy to supply past work on request.
Drupal developer & Drupal themer for a number of e-commerce projects this year for high-profile clients. If you have any experience with Drupal Commerce, get in touch: marcus AT wcforever.com
Python/Django/jQuery, with extensive experience building e-commerce marketplaces. I have a research background, data analysis, playing around with NLP right now.
I run a django dev shop, currently taking gigs. Here's my portfolio:
I mostly do backend web stuff lately, but I'm versatile. I can (and would like to) do machine learning stuff. I wrote a classifier that's 99.96% accurate on comment spam, and 99.99% if configured to present a captcha when it's close.
Tools I'm good with include Clojure, Rails, Ruby, PostgreSQL, Javascript, Lua and Common Lisp. I've also written non-trivial things in Haskell, Python, Java, Scheme, C and C++. I know PHP fairly well if need be, but I'd rather not do projects that are mainly PHP unless the pay is really good. I'm interested in working with stuff not on this list as well, but can't promise expert-level performance on the first day.
Are you part of lesseverything.com? It looks like it's two contractors who know each other working together, not the sort of outfit that wants to hire random strangers from the internet.
It's live data from a guestbook[0], which was receiving an average of 8200 spam hits a day. There has been a slight decline in spam over the course of the past week or so - from 300/hour to about 250. In addition, there seem to be more coming in that link to unregistered nonsense domains. I've stopped those for the moment by displaying a captcha on all very short posts.
SEEKING WORK - REMOTE PREFERRED OR LOCAL OAKLAND & SF
CoffeeScript / Server side JS / Node / Django
Towards the end of my MS CS and I have more time on my hands than I anticipated this semester. Would love to do work on more node / coffee projects, otherwise I have lots of experience building web apps with Python.
Even if you have a point buried in your vitriol somewhere, making a throwaway account and delivering it in this kind of way is a new low, _especially_ since you know the guy is still in highschool.
Somebody who wants to call themselves a "fucking awesome" developer will be treated like an adult when responding to their bragging. In this case, it's a developer whose "CV" (which reads as more of an Apple fanboy...thing...than a CV) clearly reveals himself to not be "fucking awesome". And that sort of baseless bragging is going to get a "rofl, you serious?" at best.
If he'd approached it as "I'm looking for an internship where I can learn something," I wouldn't have replied as I did. Instead, he tried to puff himself up as something he plainly isn't. And, hey--I like popping bubbles.
In retrospect, the throwaway account probably wasn't necessary, as the original post was upvoted. I s'pose other people don't really dig that sort of thing either.
Build an open source project, and then we'll be dazzled by your awesomeness :)
Friendly advice: webapps development is generally just moving data around back and forth between DB and client. That's not much and pretty much anyone can do it. When you will be working at real projects, you'll see that the bulk of tasks that need doing come in 4 flavors: annoying tasks, yak shaving tasks, tasks you don't have enough knowledge to get done, and flow tasks. The data ping-pong is not the issue. So in the mean time do yourself a favor and learn as much as you can out of science, rather than faddy techs: backtracking, dynamic programming, A*, hungarian algorithm, support vector machines, red-black trees, markov chains, monte carlo methods, drinking philosophers, decaying windows, bloom filters ...
While we're providing critique: clean up the writing on your resume and change the "skills" section to something relevant. Rating half your skills at 4 and half at 3 tells me zero.
Finally, lose the Apple love. It's very unbecoming.
Shameless plug, but if you're looking for freelancers for short-term projects, perhaps give Tinyproj a shot? Averaging 70+ intros per project.
Mention HN for 25% off.
If you are a freelance developer/designer/hybrid, we send emails full of interesting, paid projects every Saturday (you still have time for today's, too).
SEEKING WORK - FREELANCER UX/IX Designer - REMOTE WORK
UX/IX Designer (Not a Graphic designer). I'm a C.Sc engineer by education, but an UX person by passion. I do mobile/web UX/IX. I care about crafting experiences that mesmerize the user. Remote work.
Languages known: C/C++/Java (Rusty with all of these)
I stutter in HTML(5), CSS, JS.
I also do pro-bono work. Remote work preferred (I'm based in Asia)
P.S. I'm Entrepreneurial, and advise startups (pro-bono, ofcourse)
What - Python(Flask, Django), Ruby(Rails, Sinatra), Javascript(jQuery, Backbone.js), Clojure
Competency - All sorts of development, have done web backends, machine learning, UI development, desktop apps. I work on a Linux machine, so if it can't be done on a linux box, I can't do it.
SEEKING FREELANCER - Looking for Ruby/Rails developer(s) with basic knowledge of TDD/BDD. I'm a freelancer myself, looking to expand my ability to take on new work. Ideally I'd like to have a couple developer contacts with hourly rates - in some cases I may also just have work to refer. I don't mind working with people who are willing to learn - knowledge of (or interest in learning) the following is a must: HAML, SASS, CoffeeScript, JQuery, RSpec, FactoryGirl, and general best practices in everything :). Remote only, but it wouldn't hurt to be in the Portland area.
Looking for local developers: interns, contractors, and part-timers are welcome.

We are currently looking for the following...
- Flex/actionsript developers (big plus if you have experience with Flex Mobile projects and Flex 4.5)

If interested please email us at jobs@mirandabros.com. Mention this thread, and also provide us with a resume and your work experiences.
Interface designer: I work with companies around the world on application design, usability, and branding.
Experienced working with developers, version control, MVC frameworks, template languages, information architecture, conversion rates, etc++ across multiple time zones.
I led business development for a UX, marketing and PR firm in San Francisco. We helped launch dozens of startups and saw several through to very high exits. We also ran marketing/PR for a major demo confernece. The firm dissolved due to the founders joining a venture-backed startup so I'm on the hunt.
Think of me as a B2B sales/BD guy who can impact product experience and marketing, and who can also handle all the relationship building that goes into PR.

Nomadic, but I plan to spend the majority of this year in London.
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 , https://github.com/jamii/ocamlcheck ), distributed systems ( http://bit.ly/ji-mealy ) and p2p networks ( 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).

No, seriously — my current chair is awful but I can't stomach spending so much on a new fully loaded Mirra chair that I've been lusting for.
Stuff I can do in exchange for said chair:
* Native iOS development
* Native Android development
* Take your mobile site/app and make it native(ish) using PhoneGap
Take a look at my porfolio if you're interested: http://endlesswhileloop.com/portfolio/
Also, a native iOS app I just released: http://endlesswhileloop.com/apps/dial/
This offer would be good for small, one-off projects (think 10-15 hours).
Remote work only.
(Is this even legal to offer?)
That's if you're in the US, at least -- the IRS is very clear about this.

on a test dataset? Or new, out-of-sample data? I see those percentages and immediately think "overfitting."
Anyway, best of luck! I'm from Florida, so I'll keep you in mind if I hear from anyone needing ML work.

But you're still in high school, so maybe you'll grow up a bit and get out of the Ruby ghetto.
