Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (October 2022)

SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I like working with early-stage startups as they work through ambiguous and difficult technical + product problems. I can manage end-to-end web app development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design.

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies (like https://moonlightwork.com), and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major companies like Webflow and Trusted Health. But, my passion is building things - and I use my background in software and product to help early-stage startups either build or scale a product.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, Python, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:

SEEKING WORK | Lisbon, Portugal or Remote (originally from New Zealand!) | Full stack -- and I mean full stack, from BIOS-dev to biz-dev.

I've done a bunch of interesting stuff over the years. Drones, VR, OS development, low level network mobile/server stuff, reverse engineering, large-scale VPN DPI, streaming video, speech-to-text, automatic cloud optimisation, deep tech, etc. If you've got some interesting networking or low-level-system stuff, that'd be fun. But I'm open to all discussions :)

SEEKING WORK | The Netherlands | Remote

Software engineer with a focus on but not limited to backend development.

I have worked on long-running applications with a large codebase and have started projects from scratch. Besides developing software, I have experience with managing and implementing customer software projects, CI/CD, designing software system components, and leading a development team of 7 people. While I am happy to take on projects in any problem domain, I have some domain knowledge in the Dutch healthcare and Dutch pension industry. I work as part of a team most of the time, but am open to solo projects.

Most of my experience lies in Java, C# and Node.js development, but have worked with others and any technology stack is negotiable. On the front end, I have most recently worked with Vue.js, but other frameworks are not uncommon to me. I also have a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence.

Currently available for ±10hrs/wk, from Jan 1st I'll be available for 32hrs/wk. Please contact me if you're interested, or if you simply want to connect or have a chat that's also fine :)

SEEKING WORK | USA | Remote | Senior Product Manager / Head of Education

I believe strongly in helping people reach their potential through education. As such, I have worked as a tech learning product manager on MOOCs (massive online open courses), tech education programs, technical training, and other technical learning products for the past 10 years.

I am the right person if you need:

1. someone to figure out the vision, strategy and curriculum for teaching your customers about how to better use your company's SaSS product (which will hopefully lead to increased product engagement and higher product spend)
