SEEKING WORK -- Delhi, India (Remote work preferred; I am also willing to travel)
I'm a software developer and operations guy. I love taking on interesting and challenging projects where there's a lot of figuring out to do and an elegant system to be built. I have more than eleven years of paid work experience; I have been hacking and programming for much longer than that.
The five most recent languages I used are .NET/C#, PHP, JavaScript/node.js, XSLT, and shell script, with a side of HTML5 and CSS.
RECENT + INTERESTING PROJECTS
I'm currently finishing up on a WordPress plugin that transforms the regular ATOM feed to an ATOM-derived format that is used by The Associated Press.
I wrote a node.js script to send bulk email via Amazon SES, and utilize the full 100 messages/sec that the client had available.
I built a training/learning module Windows app recently; the fun thing was that I created a build system that would actually compile parts of the app on the client's computers, so that they could update their training materials and upload a new installer, without needing to come back to me. The build system had a nice GUI to control it and did not require any special dev tools on the client's computers.
I ported an open-source Java web app to Heroku, and set up the client's systems so that they could edit and update the website using GitHub for Windows (which pushes to Heroku directly, GitHub isn't involved -- it's just a nice and human-friendly UI for git.)
I've customized several Amazon EC2 images, and written AWS CloudFormation scripts to build up-to-date images on the fly. In one instance, I imported a Linux VMWare image to EC2 – EC2 only supports VM import for Windows images.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
"I was very impressed with professionalism and the end product."
"Flawless project from start to finish. Nik's excellent communication skills and brilliant knowledge of node.js and Amazon scripts meant this project was very successful. We have been acquainted with an excellent developer and we will be availing of Nik's services again in the future."
"Nik is by far the best Elance contractor I have worked with. Wait till you see his proposal. Right there, you'll know what I mean. He took superb care of my project providing great deal of knowledge and unmatched attention to details. The solution he came up with was above and beyond my expectations , resulting in instant savings for years to come. I gave reviews here before, but this one I write with pleasure and satisfaction. Thank you Nik, you're the best!"
CONTACT ME
You can contact me via email: nik@niksci.com or Skype: ndabas.
On a side note, I like using Elance as a project management and escrow platform, and you can check out my Elance profile (work history + client reviews) at http://niksci.elance.com/. On Elance, I am usually ranked among the top 1000 contractors, out of a total of nearly 150,000.
SEEKING WORK — I'm based in England, but will happily work remotely for anyone in any location!
Looking for a freelancer who's not afraid of communicating?
Someone who will always respond to your emails and who gets excited about realizing the potential of your project.
You've found him.
RECENT WORK
An on line web camera management application which allows small business to share their web cameras with multiple users.
I had the task of refactoring the application to make it simple, secure, maintainable and scalable.
I completed the re-write in just six days and communicated at every stage with the project owner to make sure the finished project was exactly what my client wanted.
My strongest languages are PHP, JavaScript and Java. I’ve also got a whole heap of experience debugging and maintaining code written in other languages such as C#, Perl and Python.
PS. I'm always looking for feedback on my sales pitch / website / and portfolio! Every piece of feedback I receive is greatly appreciated regardless of size!
SEEKING WORK - remote
I'm open to some part-time freelancing to get me started in the freelancing business again. I'm a full-stack developer with strong focus on PHP for the server side part. I've been programming for +10 years, the last 5 I spent building (from the ground up) and maintaining some of the largest web sites in Slovenia (where I'm from) that have a few million uniques a month, so I know a thing or two about scaling.
If you have a small-ish project that would requiere someone that can build a page from 0 to production (provided you take care of the design) or you need something fixed or extended then I'm your guy.
I am a sysadmin who loves to efficiently solve business problems. With a DevOps background, twelve years of sysadmin experience, and a passion for problem-solving, I am keen to help HNers achieve their goals.
My main areas of expertise are:
Scaling high traffic websites
Designing highly-reliable applications
Building applications on AWS
Server maintenance and optimisation
Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources
Developing prototypes and full sites in Django
Although primarily a sysadmin, I am also experienced with Django/Python development. I am building my own startup with these technologies, so I know the sort of problems startups face.
I am building a business around the idea of a 'sysadmin as a service' for those people who need regular sysadmin work, yet do not have enough projects to justify hiring a full-time sysadmin. Would you like a friendly expert to work on ad hoc projects and also be available for emergency support?
If you'd like to discuss any of these services in more detail, drop me an email - mike@fadedink.co.uk
SEEKING WORK - Remote, Columbus or Cincinnati areas, or the possibility of a travel / remote combination.

Recently, I've partnered up with another great developer to form a small small consulting company called JetCode here in Columbus. Look us up!
