SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE

I’m building a SaaS startup with ex-Googlers. I’ve had great feedback and validation from individuals and companies on the product.

Most of the posts on HN are looking to hire hackers. I'm trying something a bit different:

Email me if you fit any of the following:

• Marketing

• Growth hacking

• Biz dev / Sales

I respond to all of my emails.

Email: marco@masswerks.com

Here are some things I've worked on lately:

LSH clustering in low memory (currently ~800GB of input data in 4GM RAM) - https://github.com/jamii/springer-recommendations

A Go-playing AI in cljs - http://scattered-thoughts.net/blog/2013/10/06/hugo-a-go-go/

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

Parallelizing a constraint solver - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6140653

Dev tools for writing gnome extensions in clojurescript - https://github.com/jamii/lein-gnome

My background is 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 and I learn fast.

I'm also interested in partnering with other freelance developers to cover the whole stack.

SEEKING WORK - Washington DC or remote

My current focus is Django/Python development work, although I also have experience with WordPress, PHP, and a variety of other technologies. I can write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by hand, configure and secure your Linux server, or even optimize Apache or nginx so that your website can scale to thousands of visitors.

I can build your MVP or help you maintain and improve an existing website. I write technical specifications, use comments in my code, and am adept at Git.

This isn't meant to be a list of recruiting companies. Please only submit specific openings.
So if I'm looking for different types of freelancers I can't post that? This is a freelancer thread, we should be able to post who were looking for.
That's perfectly fine - but quite different from posting a list of recruiters.
SEEKING WORK - NYC or remote

I'm mostly proficient with Python and Django, but I can learn new technologies quickly if you need me to. Most of my experience has been with helping people build MVP's or helping to maintain or rework some small websites, so if you think you need something similar, please email me at haroldsmart@live.co.uk. I live in NYC, but can work remotely if that's an option.

SEEKING WORK - Bay Area, Toronto, Waterloo, or Remote

Android mobile developer with extensive experience working on an app that is one of the most popular in the Play Store right now. You've heard of it. I've also worked with YC startups in the past, so I have references if you need them.

I have experience developing UIs, networking frameworks, advanced camera work, OpenGL, and native C/C++/JNI level implementations. I've even hacked the Android source code to bend it to my will. If you need help on your app, or need someone to build it from scratch, I'm your man. I can even make sure, within reason, that it'll work all the way down to Gingerbread 2.3.

My Github is pretty sparse, as most of my projects have been private: http://github.com/HorizonXP

You should e-mail me, at least to discuss your project. Otherwise, reply here.

I'm excited to hear from people, I love hearing what people are working on!
