Seeking Work | Baltimore, Maryland | Will work remotely Accomplished PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS, and Objective-C developer

SEEKING WORK - London or remote.

I specialize in algorithmic problems. Here are some things I've been working on lately:

Scalable recommendations engine - https://github.com/jamii/springer-recommendations

Concise pattern matching and parsing - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4902219

Parallelizing a constraint solver - http://scattered-thoughts.net/blog/2012/12/19/search-trees-a...

I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I'm comfortable with clojure, python, erlang and ocaml but I will learn whatever is the right tool for the job.

I would consider full-time work for the right problem/team. I'm also interested in partnering with other freelance developers to cover the whole stack.

SEEKING WORK: Android or iOS - chad@inaka.net - have built a number of android and iOS apps.
SEEKING WORK - Amsterdam, London, Remote.

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

    Migrating to AWS (e.g. from Heroku, if you want more control over your request routing and costs)

    Server maintenance and optimisation

    Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources
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, I'd love to hear from you - mike@fadedink.co.uk

SEEKING WORK - Freelancer - Gilbert, AZ (Phoenix Metro) or remote.

.NET/C# Developer, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, Javascript, jQuery and Knockout.js

thomas.thornton.jr@gmail.com

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Web app dev (PHP), web design, iOS & Android app dev/design, HTML build and perhaps 8 other things.

Skillz:

* PHP (mainly Codeigniter in recent times)

* HTML / CSS (5/3 respectively if you want hotness, XHTML and RDFa also if you prefer)

* Javascript / jQuery

* Titanium or Phonegap mobile dev

* Nice SEO

* UI/UX to some extent

* Git / Mercurial

Other stuff too numerous for a tidy post, but if it applies to the web I've probably had a go at it at some point.

I've worked on everything from Wordpress blogs to big e-commerce sites (big being relative but think $1m+/month). Also have a couple of new iOS/Android apps coming out shortly. I can see through an entire project from start to finish if required and have a lot of knowledge built up over time on what converts.

My site - in need of an update but here it is:

I'm UK based. Discounts available if you'd prefer to fly me out to somewhere nice (hmm!)

SEEKING FREELANCER, UK, remote welcomed.

I'm Tech Director at FARM Digital. We're a digital agency based in the UK, but the right person can work remotely from anywhere. We're looking for a PHP freelancer who is confident using Symfony. The work is mainly maintenance work on some fairly high profile e-commerce sites (> £1mil turnover/year), so it isn't glamorous, but we're a fun team to work with, and the work is based on a retainer, so it's generally recurring. I estimate there is 3-4 days day a month here for the right person.

I can be contacted on jon@wearefarm.com, or @jon_atkinson. It would be good to see some examples of past work, or Github/Bitbucket links.

SEEKING WORK – Remote / Washington, DC Metropolitan Area

- I’m a full stack web developer who can take care of your web presence end-to-end, including hosting and system administration, as well as building out your designs.

What I can do for you:

- VPS Setup & Configuration, whether for a web server or otherwise.

- General SysAdmin work.

- PHP / MySQL back-end development (have been using Rails at my day job for 6 months or so, but I’m sure your money would be better used with another Rails developer).

- HTML5 Front-End, with excellent knowledge of best practices, and how to best deal with browser inconsistencies.

- Javascript: Been developing with jQuery since version 1.3, and greatly enjoy using Backbone.js as well. Of course, I can do the same tasks with “raw” Javascript, it’ll just take longer.

- Responsive Design: I’m excellent at converting existing templates into a responsive design to allow for mobile compatibility.

- CSS: Whether it be debugging some wonky IE6 issue, or creating a solid Compass pipeline for you, I’m here to help.

- CMS: I’ve developed several in-house content management systems, as well as doing a large amount of work in Wordpress and (ugh) Joomla.

My major projects: http://wireless.walmart.com, http://wirefly.com, http://www.rcn.com

Seeking Work, Dallas - Remote

Full stack developer: Node, PHP, Ruby/Rails, SQL and MongoDB Mobile: iOS

I'm a super-generalist. I've done everything from developing for obscure ERP systems, to social networking sites, to mobile devices. Recently I've been pulled into the Node.js world where I've been designing data services and web services with Express and Restify on top of MongoDB.

I have immediate availability for most small projects. We can discuss longer-term engagements if needed.

[ SEEKING WORK - Remote / Los Angeles ]

I'm a full-stack web developer who just started a small dev agency in Los Angeles.

We're ultra-focused on web development and specialize in providing technical capabilities to agencies who don't have internal tech teams, or providing capacity to dev teams who don't have enough internal resources.

Our delegation is completely abstracted - all communications go through me and all deployment goes through our standard, simple processes.

We're currently available for a 20-hour or 40-hour per week retainer, starting in middle March.

My github: http://github.com/kvnn My linked-in: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kevin-riggen/28/447/602/ My email: kriggen//gmail

Our stack is currently: * HTML / CSS / JS / jQuery * Python / Django * PHP / Wordpress / Drupal

Cheers!

SEEKING WORK - remote welcomed, will travel, Winnipeg/Toronto based

We're a small (there are three of us) web/mobile development shop in Canada. We do all of the usual PHP work with all of the usual frameworks/CMSes (Symfony, CodeIgniter, Cake, Concrete5, Wordpress, etc) but we much prefer working in Python/Node.js when the project allows. Personally, I'm particularly interested in client-side Javascript (or Coffeescript) applications (eg. using Backbone), especially projects with real-time and/or data visualization needs.

I also have experience doing embedded systems work and projects that interface web or mobile apps with [remote] hardware, in case that interests anyone :)
