SEEKING WORK - Remote

I can be a unicorn for your project! Design & development, building API's, mobile apps and all that kind of stuff.

Past things I done: Ecommerce, API's, apps, intranets, medical compliance systems, CMS, CRM, surveying, events/ticketing, blah de blah. I can build your MVP or help further along the path!

Apps - iOS / Android

* App design, UI/UX

* Development Titanium or PhoneGap (prefer the former)

Recent iPhone app I completed (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/pitchup.com-campsite-holiday...) was App of the Week in The Sun here in the UK, which was nice.

Web

* HTML 5, CSS, Javascript (also responsive, bootstrap etc etc)

* PHP (mainly Codeigniter recently)

* Some nodeJS

I could really do with something soon to help with the festive period so for something you want to start now, I can do a healthy discount :)

Email is in my profile. Personal site seems to be down at the moment (http://pitbot.net). Happy to supply links and whatnot for examples of previous work.

I work with Git usually, but mercurial is also fine. Happy with basic sysadmin stuff too.

I'm based in the UK.

SEEKING FREELANCER - New York, NY or REMOTE - http://bit.ly/1guW2qr

The Knewton marketing team has marketers, PR, writers, designers, and web developers. We are looking for another developer to support our work.

You should be extremely comfortable with WordPress and web development, and be able to collaborate with designers to go from PSD to responsive layout.

WordPress, JavaScript, and general PHP will compose much of the work. We are also exploring visualizations with D3 and other JavaScript libraries. Any additional web development skills and interests you have will probably find an outlet here.

This position is contract-to-hire, starting part-time and possibly transitioning to full-time eventually. You can be remote during the contractor portion but may need to be in NYC to make the transition to FT.

Someone from outside of US can't work?
SEEKING WORK - Remote

I’ve been a UI designer & front-end developer for 12 years, freelancing full-time for the last 3. I’m big on simplicity & clarity. Some of my recent work: http://mitchbryson.com

If you like my style, email mitchell@blendmode.co.uk

SEEKING WORK built iOS apps with over 100,000 downloads including Coffitivity.com and wehighfive.com. I can do some Android stuff too, and am also extremely adept with HMTL/CSS/JS-CS (see shockoedenim.com for a nice finished product there). I prefer to do iOS for freelancing work however.

SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps.

Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB.

Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of. Github (perhaps a bit dusty): https://github.com/zakwilson

SEEKING FREELANCERS - NYC or Bay Area preferred - Remote is okay

Lambda is a talent agency for freelance developers and designers. We help you find clients, negotiate for higher rates, and take care of the business side of freelancing.

  - Exceptional talent only: $100/hr minimum rate.
  - No recruiters or spam. We're developers too and we only match consultants with projects that fit their expertise and interest.
  - Serious clients only: Wanna hear about a disruptive social network for cats that "just needs a coder"? Neither do we.
  - Freelancers with side projects or startups are especially welcome!
If that's appealing, you can read more and sign up at: http://getlambda.com/

We've posted about this on HN a few times and have been amazed by the response. I apologize in advance if it takes a while for us to get back to you -- we interview everyone personally and are still ramping up the process.

Right now, we're particularly looking for NYC Rails devs and SF iOS devs, but anyone else based in the US is still welcome to apply!

> but anyone else based in the US

Why US only? Are there significant challenges into opening this platform to internationals? I always thought it was simpler (less taxes to deal with, etc).

Almost all of our clients are based in the US, and we already have a lot of devs who are willing to do remote work.
SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area - Remote or Local - Long or Short Term Projects

I'm an expert at creating APIs and building client applications (browser-based and mobile apps) powered by APIs.

API Development - I've designed, built, and scaled APIs for many different application profiles, from large complex data models, event subscription architecture, high transaction volume (25K requests/second), to simple REST APIs. I have a good amount of experience analyzing data models and use cases to determine API structure, architecture, and recommended implementation. I know the ins and outs of REST vs RPC, JSON vs XML, and hypermedia vs traditional. I've implemented APIs using Rails, Node.js, and Java platforms. Bottom line - if you need an API developed, I can take you through the process from start to finish.

Single-Page JS App Development - I've led development on multiple single-page JavaScript apps in both desktop and mobile environments. I have significant JavaScript experience and have built full applications from scratch using Backbone.js and Ember.js. Recently I've been working with Balanced Payments to build a web interface for their payments platform using Ember.js. The whole project is open source - check it out! https://github.com/balanced/balanced-dashboard

Mobile App Development - I've deployed multiple apps across iOS and Android platforms for phones and tablets. I'm experienced in both native (iOS, Android) and mobile cross-platform HTML (Sencha Touch, JQuery Mobile) development.

Traditional Web Development - While I've spent most of my time lately working on APIs and API-driven apps, I also have ten years of experience doing traditional server-side web development. If you need a Rails or Java generalist to build a product, augment your team or maintain existing code, get in touch!

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco / Remote

My partner and I do full stack web development. I am a designer and project manager, and my partner does back-end development ranging from Ruby to iOS.

We are particularly good at helping small startups grow, or helping define and produce an MVP in a short amount of time. We are available separately as well but since the majority of our projects require both sides, we tend to get hired together.

I design with the goal of making users happy and solving hard problems. It goes deeper than a pretty coat of paint. My partner works in RoR, JS frameworks, and most other popular coding languages/frameworks out there.

Give us a shout and we'll see what we can do for you.
