SEEKING FREELANCER | Magento Dev | Switzerland or remote

I run a small web consulting agency that specializes in e-commerce. We mostly work with Magento and from time to time are just too swamped so we are looking for a skilled freelancer that knows the platform and would be willing to take some work of our hands. We are looking for a long-term partnership with varying workload. The tasks are strictly development related, no design skill necessary. The only requirements are long-term availability, understanding of GIT and clear communication.

Please email magento-dev@mobweb.ch and also include your Skype ID so we can chat directly.

SEEKING WORK - Remote only

I'm an iOS developer. I've been making apps for about 2 years and work full time as a lead mobile dev (iOS & Android). Looking to do some short term gigs. Smaller apps would be nice. I put a lot of effort into interaction and polish, thus don't really have time to invest in a $100k+ app.

I've got experience and skill in the full iOS stack including Core Data, unit testing, high quality custom controls, networking, etc.

I'm also available for consulting on iOS codebase architecture, design, and testing as well. If you've got some code you think needs improved or checked out by a professional I'd love to.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Austin, TX

Syadmin as a Service

Just because you don't have a full-time Ops person on the team, it doesn't mean you don't deserve the best when it comes to scaling, resilience and reliability.

I work with startups, web agencies and small businesses to help them spend less time worrying about technical problems, and more time growing their business.

= How can I help you? These are some of the services I provide:

- Expert sysadmin services, on tap

- Automated server provisioning and management

- Server maintenance and optimisation

- Reduce your AWS bill (I helped one client reduce their bill by 45%)

- Migrate high-traffic web apps to AWS

- Quickly get up and running with tools like Puppet

= Why choose me?

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.

I'm writing a book on AWS System Administration that will be published by O'Reilly later this year.

Here's an AWS case study for an infrastructure I built: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/fashiolista/

This week I'll be talking at Puppet Camp Amsterdam about how to get the most of out AWS and Puppet.

If you think these services could help your business grow, let's talk. mike@fadedink.co.uk

SEEKING FREELANCER. Remote preferred.

Nothing glamorous, but we need a few good folks to help build Wordpress themes. We'd give you sliced HTML, you'd turn it into a theme.

If you're interested drop me a line with your rates (george at ill-k.com). Strong preference for folks who can give an estimate and stick with it (as opposed to hourly/daily billers).

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:

Our goal is to build a consultancy providing testing services to over-worked startups and freelancers while also providing web application development.

SEEKING FREELANCER(S) - Remote

I'm helping out a client find new devs (small NYC based design + interactive agency) and also looking for folks myself. We're in NYC but looking anywhere.

Needs: PHP, Wordpress, Magento, frontend (bootstrap, jquery javascript MVCs etc), Rails, Django

My client needs generalists who can handle a bunch of maintenance type work, and be available to deal with whatever comes around. Sometimes the projects are big and interesting, sometimes they are little tweaks.

I may need to spool up a team of either Django or Wordpress devs soon depending on what I have in the pipeline.

(If you email, please make sure to leave some info about you like a link or resume. Thanks)

SEEKING WORK - Remote only.

Electronics and robotics projects, full service (idea to product). Open source hardware projects get cheaper rates. Contact at kliment[at]0xfb.com (yes, that is a zero).

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I'm looking for someone who has a lot of experience in quality frontend development for mobile web apps. I run a dating site and I need to build a mobile web version of it (not responsive, 100% built for mobile). As an example of what I'm looking for, check Facebook's mobile web version out, since it's quite close.

I'm not set in any particular JS library, although desktop site uses jQuery. Use of LESS is a plus.

No need to write any backend code, I'll take care of that.

If instead of needing 100% accurate screenshots/mockups you can get a) the desktop version's pages / look and b) inspiration from other apps (like Facebook's) and your own experience; and build nice looking designs / layouts by yourself, that's also a big plus (less work for me).

If you're interested let's talk details, my email is on my profile.
