SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / ONSITE POSSIBLE

Hello! I'm a UK-based full-stack developer with a touch of design thrown in.

I worked on e-commerce, Wordpress, CRM, API's (building & integrating with), web apps, MVP's, iOS/Android apps etc etc. Everything from little niche sites to those with huge traffic/revenue.

Front end web: HTML5, CSS, Javascript, responsive design

Back end web: PHP (I specialise in Codeigniter but have used all kinds!), picking up nodeJS too.

App dev:

I work with Titanium mainly, but I've also used Phonegap in the past. Have worked on iOS and Android apps for phones & tablets. I've also built a good number of API's to complement, so that's covered too.

Most recent work:

* https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/eatmcr/id384069000

* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pitbot.pit...

* https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pitchup.com-campsite-caravan...

In general I have a pretty good overview of every step of the development process - from sketch to deployment. I can help draw up specs, implement, optimise and launch.

In addition to the above, I'm happy to give some big discounted rates if any of the following sound interesting:

* I'd be very interested in building something on AngularJS or similar & also get into Python properly. If you have something non-mega-urgent that can handle a few little learning issues then it might be worth a try...

* Similarly, in exchange for travel+accomm, I'll do a big discount on work in interesting places with interesting people. Onsite work might be tricky outside the EU but in those cases I could work remotely initially and come say hello after.

Can supply big list of links and info on other recent work if interested.

Contact info in profile, or via http://pitbot.net

Two things...

  - If you're just browsing and you run a business, drop me an
    email, I'd love to figure out ways that I can add value to your
    business, and I don't charge anything for this time.

  - If you have an idea already I work with most technologies
    and can quickly build an MVP/prototype from scratch or
    get up-to-speed to contribute on a currently-running project.

I'm an experienced full-stack developer that practices Behaviour Driven Development (BDD).

I've worked in the following technologies on the server-side (Node.JS, Express.JS, Python, and Django), and on the client-side (JavaScript, Angular.JS, Backbone.JS, HTML5, CSS3, Objective-C.) However, I can probably pick up any language or tool that you're already using, so if I haven't mentioned it, just ask.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I can help you in any way!

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Hi! I am a full-stack (mainly back end) developer living in Stockholm, Sweden looking for work.

My specialty is to work out the current best practice for a common solution, such as off-loading back-end tasks to an REST API, making clear design oriented around increasing conversion rate or such.

One of my biggest strength is my wish to be very connected with those I work with and iterate fast to get the result we want.

Some of my previous work have been for: http://VPNTunnel.com & http://anonine.com (back-end development in Flask and automation of VPN server installation) http://Billogram.com (Back-end and front-end development in Python and PHP)

My skills: Front end: CSS (Foundation, Bootstrap, Grid) Back end: PHP (Zend), Python (Django, Flask) Sys/Dev Ops: Puppet, MySQL, RethinkDB, PostgreSQL, REST

Currently most of my free-time goes into learning EmberJS, as I feel that would broaden my skills as a full-stack developer and give me a better way to get the results I want.

Contact me through email, phone or skype. They are listed bellow.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Sorry to get off topic here for a moment. OP, it was recently suggested that you start writing a post for open-source projects looking for help. Is this something you'd consider? I can chat with you about it at <sir@cmpwn.com> if you like.
I think that is a great idea. I'd be happy to see something like that.

SEEKING WORK - Washington DC or remote

I love working on full-stack web development with Django and Python, although I also have significant experience with WordPress and PHP. Most of my clients fall into one of three areas:

- startups who need assistance building a MVP,

- non-profits looking to use technology to help connect with their stakeholders, and

- small businesses trying to modernize their websites to increase their conversion rates.

I am often separated from my clients by many miles and multiple timezones, so I understand the importance of communication and frequent updates when working remotely. Since I am often the sole developer/designer on projects I work on, I provide end-to-end technological solutions. Since I realize my successful clients might need additional development help in the future, I ensure everything I do is both maintainable and well-documented.

My online portfolio contains details about recent websites I have completed for clients, as well as open source projects I currently maintain or have contributed to in the past: https://marteydodoo.com/portfolio/

The best way to contact me is through my website: https://marteydodoo.com/contact/

SEEKING FREELANCER

Full-time / Part-time Contract position for a full-stack Rails developer

Responsibilities: Take over and complete a Rails web app that is about eighty percent complete, and then provide ongoing maintenance and support on a very part-time basis after the main project is complete. The code is in good shape with good test coverage.

Location: remote - U.S., Canada, Western Europe only

We're seeking an experienced full-stack Ruby on Rails developer, or very small team to complete a challenging project.

Must: - Have at least 3 years solid Rails experience developing web apps. - Be able to start within a few weeks.

Please include your CV, links to past projects you had a very significant part in developing that are live, and a link to your Linkedin profile if you have one.

[railswebappproject] a.t. g-m-a-i-l

Just a note from experience: when devs see someone talk about an app that is "eighty percent complete" that throws up all kinds of red flags. The first 80% is the easy part. Why does it need to be "taken over"? Did you have a falling out with other freelancers? Lots of questions on that, might be good to address them.

(Note, I'm not looking for work, just thought I'd point out the thought process here.)
