SEEKING WORK - Remote OK - British developer based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

I love working in Haskell and Scala, and I also have experience with Django. I've done some data analysis work in Python and as a maths student I became a dab hand at data modelling. I'm a fast learner if you need someone to work with a mature code base, and if you need to get an MVP out the door it wouldn't be my first time doing that either.

Contact me at nathan.cook@gmail.com for more information.

SEEKING WORK - Remote only. (Based in Tel-Aviv.)

My name is Ram Rachum, and I’m a freelance software developer. I help businesses solve their problems using software, mostly by developing web-based applications. I work mainly in Python and Django.

On the technical level, it’s my responsibility to have high problem-solving skills; to design a good architecture for each project I work on; to implement that architecture quickly and effectively; and to be experienced with the languages and frameworks that I’m using, so when a problem comes up, I don’t have to spend 2 hours to research and solve it but rather just 5 minutes, because I’ve seen that problem dozen of times before.

On the project-management level, it’s my responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with the client and my collaborators on the project; to understand exactly what the client wants to build as we plan together how to build it; to always keep the client updated about progress; to have an owner mentality and make decisions with the best interest of the client in mind; to own up to mistakes when they happen; and to always get feedback as early as possible from the client and from the users, so we know we’re not wasting time going into blind alleys, and we’re spending time only on features that the users are happy with. My email is ram@rachum.com . Send me an email and say hello.

SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.

Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK. I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.

I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality. I can build prototypes or full apps on my own but also happy to work as part of a team (and I have a bunch of great people I work with if you need help putting together one)

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV.

Some recent projects:

- The software and technical design for a "magic mirror" that was used at London Fashion Week. Behind the scenes it was built with 15 network Raspberry Pis with camera modules. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/london-fashion-week

- An iPad app for a medical company for quick lookup of drug interactions. This was built with HTML5 and made use of Angular.JS. I can show you more of this one on request.

- A web app for a training company to provide complete courses online combing video, slides and quiz's.

- Lead developer on a team building a collaboration application featuring a RESTful API and browser and mobile clients. See http://thisisdrum.com and see also a talk I gave on some of the tech[1]

- Head pose estimation from a video feed for a interactive store-window display (it superimposed masks over the faces of customers as they looked through the window)

I can show you more of these on request

Some stuff I've made:

- Listeron, simple email discussion lists. http://listeron.com

SEEKING WORK - Remote, I'm based in France

Full stack web developer, specialized in the back end with PHP, PostgreSQL/MySQL and Redis. I also do quite a bit of Go. I'm not afraid of the command line and I know how to configure the tools I use.

I have lots of experience with high performances requirements (sites that scale, millions of users and billions of records), cloud based solution (ec2) and web scrapping.

I love a good challenge, let me know what your problem is and I can guarantee we will find a great way to solve it :) I may not have the most buzzwords but I'm efficient and get things done.
