SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote - GaggleAMP.com

GaggleAMP is hiring part-time software developers and UX designers to help us extend our social amplification platform. On the frontend, we use jQuery and HTML5/CSS3 via HAML templates. Our web application's backend stack is Ruby on Rails 3 with MySQL and Redis.

We'll consider hackers with any experience level, intern and up. If interested, send an email with a brief bio and one or more links to past work to jason AT gaggleamp DOT com.

Are you looking for front-end developers or back-end developers?
SEEKING WORK - Remote

I can do two things!

- Front end: HTML 5, CSS, JS/Jquery.

- PHP development. I'd like to do more 5.3 but I'm more weathered in 5.2 due to client demands. Also Codeigniter. But I can pick up most things.

If you're really desperate, I can hit things with Perl too.

I use Mercurial for source control but I'm comfortable with git also. I'm familiar with most modern day practices & processes. I won't say I've been overly-exposed to something like Agile or TDD for instance because I haven't. But I get these things and I learn quick :)

I have worked on pretty much every kind of site imaginable now and would estimate I've built an area of internet roughly the size of Ireland.

My own site is usually at http://pitbot.net and it was rather nice, if I do say so myself. Alas no one has paid me for many, many weeks and I had to choose food over renewing the hosting bill. I can show you many wondrous URL's of work I've done though.

I'm UK based.

SEEKING WORK - Washington DC - Remote is great

I am a web developer (both frontend and backend). I am most proficient with Django, a Python-based web framework, although I also have worked in the past with a variety of other frameworks and languages (WordPress, PHP, Perl, C, etc.). I can do everything you need to get a web application up and running, from handwriting HTML and CSS, to configuring MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. I have spent more time with Facebook's Graph API that is probably healthy.

I know both Git and Mercurial, am proactive about communicating, and have no issues working with non-technical clients.

http://www.linkedin.com/in/kentonsmeltzer You name it I have worked with it. I am very strong in JavaScript (jQuery, Dojo, etc.), Java, and Objective-C. I have 16 years experience and have three exits under my belt. I am looking for more interesting work than can be found in my local market. I am the primary care taker for my grandparents so I am bound to FL geographically, but I can travel to be on location for a month at a time. My most recent apps can be found in the portfolio section of my Linked-In profile and I can be contacted at: ksmeltzer@gmail.com

Also I am not particular about work arrangements, I can do W2 or corp-corp, just looking for something interesting, everything else is details.

Most recent work: http://kimble.co/web

I am a design generalist with a undergraduate degree in mathematics and physics and graduate design degree in architecture.

My ability to design and program -- and perhaps more importantly, to communicate in both languages -- provides significant value.

I work mostly in Ruby and implement design in code -- Haml, Erb, Mustache, Sass, Less, CoffeeScript are used frequently.

I recently released my first open source programming project: http://github.com/tedkimble/bruter.
