SEEKING WORK | REMOTE WORLDWIDE | Based in the UK & France
I design & build anti-fragile, reliable sysadmin / SRE/ DevOps stuff; anything from Python monitoring scripts to cloud-based infrastructure design and implementations.
I usually work with customers who have urgent operational needs that require an immediate short-term engagement.
My expertise is based on 30 years of hands-on technical experience in all areas of IT, but particularly in architecting, building and managing data-driven enterprise platforms.
Recent examples of my work:
- Organisational-level DevOps tooling and security implementations
- Global Azure infrastructure deployment, management and security (Terraform, DevOps, KMS, AppGw)
- Python-based SRE scripting for monitoring custom federated clusters using Consul, Vault, Nomad
- Productionalising Kafka and Confluent clusters (SSL, SASL, ACLs, Debezium)
- Tracking down performance bottlenecks in Elasticsearch and Solr
- Stabilisation of complex Java-based containerised applications
- Validation of greenfield project designs
- Single-pane-of-glass dashboard design in Datadog, Splunk and Azure
- Deploying a global, multi-cloud, Kubernetes-based PaaS (AWS and Azure)
SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer
I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.
The ideal engagement at this point would be with a firm that expects to need team-level help and wants to try me out as the lead for that on a smaller initial project.
You will like working with me because I:
* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done
Concrete examples:
* built realtime stats and the enterprise-wide developer portal for one of the top 3 major US sports leagues (golang/pyspark/docker/azure)
* portfolio management process replatforming for a midsize hedge fund (bespoke->dockerized python aws lambda architecture)
* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

Interested in freelance projects of varying scopes and sizes. Content Management / CRUD / E-Commerce or more unorthodox projects/requirements. Most familiar with Laravel or Vue based stacks, but also experience with legacy PHP codebases (codeigniter or "vanilla").
Solid knowledge of Laravel internals (working on several packages) and actually enjoy documenting. VERY competitive pricing available. I can help finish an existing project you have had on the back burner, or new systems from the ground up.
I have 10 - 20 hours per week and I'm looking to build experience in tech by working on a project. Direct remuneration is not a priority (unpaid is a possibility). I would be happy to work on open source, or on commercial software. I'd love to chat to companies/other developers and would be happy to prove my skills/potential. I'm familiar with source control, testing and other general software development tools/methods so I'd hope to be up and running quickly.
Tribe.AI is a network of 100+ top engineers, data scientists, and beyond who come together to do interesting projects (usually growth stage startups, a few publicly traded co's and some smaller startups as well). The community is also just a great place to connect, we often have virtual and now even some in person events in SF and NYC to learn from experts in the field or for Tribe members to present their projects. A few folks in the community have also used it as a launching pad for their own startups!
If you're a top-tier engineer, data scientist, or in the AI field more broadly, please apply to join the network (takes under 5 mins) https://www.tribe.ai/join
DevOps Architect, Senior Technical Operations Engineer, Manager/Mentor/Leader. Expert in scaling, building production and development infrastructure from scratch, datacenter migrations, CI/CD process and pipelines, migration to (and from!) cloud. I'm a software architect and developer grown into the Ops role, I know how the software works at scale.
I joined two companies midway at the crossroads, rebuilt their infrastructure from the ground, enabled scale (and in one case - massive growth), scaled the team and went IPO with them.
I have a lot of experience making apps "cloud native" and diagnosing problems with resource utilization, starvation, efficiency.
Cloud bill optimization throughout: from billing manipulations to resource optimization.
I'm also very good at hiring engineers and I can help you interview and select right people for the job. I've worked for and built excellent teams in companies of all sizes, from hundreds of thousand people to series-A startups. I also worked a lot in outsourcing and can help select and manage an outsourced team.
I work fully or partially remote, built and run fully remote teams since 1994 and have a lot of experience to share.
(edited for clarity and removed "only part time" line. if you need full time contractor, I can do it currently)
SEEKING WORK | Europe / Sweden / Estonia | Remote preferred, Onsite possible
Hi, my name is Till.
I always like to help people, so if you need help with anything, let me know! :)
I usually work remotely, but I'm open to traveling to visit you. I can help get things running, especially when you're a young startup or launching a new project.
For example, maybe you have written a web app and need it deployed to the cloud. Or maybe you want to scale your product to meet the demand. Or maybe you want to launch your app in a new market, requiring a translation system and a new cloud deployment strategy. I can help make these things possible!
I most often write back-end services or cloud deployments.
Multifaceted software engineer with a master's degree in computer science and 12 years of professional experience. Author of the first linear algorithm for rolling binary trees and research published by IEEE, OEIS, and Springer. Worked as an independent consultant on various projects with select clients, including the likes of Triplebyte, Rollbar, and MIT.
Experienced in building customer-facing software applications (Java, JavaScript), handling and making use of big data (SQL/NoSQL, ETL/ELT, Python, Tableau, D3), creating content as a subject matter expert (coding challenges, technical articles, guides), etc.
Whether you need a complex enterprise system or a simple web application, I'd be happy to help.
I'd love to learn more about your project and how I can be of service.

SEEKING WORK | North America / US / Los Angeles, CA | Remote preferred, onsite in LA possible
some of my past works: http://goshacmd.com/works/ — most recent is my years-long engagement with Gumroad to help them reduce technical debt, modernize their stack, and add new features quickly
Full-stack / front-end developer looking for new projects. The range of clients I work with includes: startups looking to go from zero to a working product; established products that want to iterate and add new features; internal tools; developer tooling
I have a PhD in optimization / operations research. I'm the father of four young children, so I'm looking for flexible/remote part-time work, and/or contract work. I can work up to around 20-30 hours per week.
My specializations revolve around optimization and operations research---essentially, I solve optimization problems. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or various forms of metaheuristics. I could manage my way around new solvers and programming languages if the project required it.
I'm currently working on a column generation-based daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of the user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I am aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.
Principle level Ruby on Rails Engineer with over fifteen years of production Rails experience at Apple, Intuit, and successfully acquired startups. Currently looking for contract/freelance work. Can travel if needed.
I’m a web and app developer with over 15 years of professional experience. I’ve worked at startups, mid-sized companies, and large corporations including Apple, eBay, and the Comcast Silicon Valley Innovation Center. I specialize in full-stack web development, but I’m also experienced in iOS development, server administration, database design, and more. I'm happy with both short-term jobs (alone or on a team) or medium-term contracts in an agile environment.
Available part-time, for up to 20 hours/week. 10+ years experience in python, both scientific (numpy, pandas, matplotlib, statsmodels, jupyter) and web (django, flask, sqlalchemy). Also experienced in R (experiment design, linear and nonlinear analysis, graphic presentation of data). Previous experience in statistical design of experiments and statistical process control when I was a manufacturing engineer in semiconductors. Able to work W2 or 1099, remote or in-person (as long as it's in Austin).
Hey HN. I’m a former Y Combinator backed founder based in London, England. I cofounded a venture-backed delivery startup and was Chief Product Officer (and first hire) at the first modern bank in Iraq. I also built Anon Friendly, the world's first (and most popular) pseudonymous job board.
I love taking ambitious, complex projects, from idea to launch (and beyond). I thrive in high pressure, high stakes, high uncertainty, environments. I take ownership. I care deeply.
If you think I could create value for you or your organisation in any capacity, get in touch! Even if you just need someone to talk to about your startup idea or an early stage product.

- Pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable people on the slack.
- Brief and effective process matching me with a client.
- They negotiated a rate I was happy with, taking a cut I found reasonable.
- Good working relationships with others in the project, both from Tribe and the client, everyone happy.
- Payment was simple and timely, when I encountered a technical issue with their provider during setup, Tribe were very helpful resolving it.
