UX/Software Engineer that primarily works with Ruby on Rails 4 and ASP.Net MVC4 (C#).
I'm an ex-pat from Boston, living in the heart of South America for the past 9 years, in Bolivia.
My main talents lie in Ruby on Rails development. I take pride in building fast, insanely optimised websites using the latest proven tools in the Rails world including Sentry, NewRelic-rpm, Bullet and RSpec.
I enjoy making responsive websites using Twitter Bootstrap 3 or Foundation Zurb, I'm great with front end work.
I also leverage Go to build highly concurrent, well-tested system services and backend processes.
Experience deploying to Heroku, AWS, Rackspace, DigitalOcean. I leverage open source tools such as Capistrano to assist deploys.
I invest heavily in research material and training books in order to keep up with current standards and emerging practices. All of this helps me be on the edge, making sure your software is built the best possible way using proven methods.
My forté is taking wishy-washy requirements and fleshing them out into robust problem solving software. My job here is to add value to your business - to save you time and frustration, keeping you attention on the important things.

I'd love to join your team or help you get an MVP off the ground. Feel free to send me an email and we can discuss on Skype. :)
I've been a full-stack Web developer since 1993, when I set up one of the first 100 Web sites in the world (http://tech.mit.edu/). I've been working as a consultant since 1995. I have extensive experience with Ruby (and Rails), Python, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and many other technologies.
My real value isn't my extensive technological know-how. Rather, it's my ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical people, and to turn that communication into business value.
I know how to take business needs and turn them into software, by myself and with others. I also know how to describe technical issues in terms that business people can understand, that allow us to make informed decisions. Many of my clients have used me as a remote, part-time CTO or lead developer.
I also help developers and teams improve their coding and management practices. I frequently teach in-person courses (in the US, Europe, Israel, and China) in Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to such companies as Apple, Cisco, Freescale, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare. I also offer online coaching/pairing services to individuals and teams.
My aim: Long-term, interesting projects with nice people. (Short-term relationships can also be fine, depending on the work and myschedule.) Bottom line, I like to speak with and help nice people, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so.
If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, or on Skype as "reuvenlerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ .
I am a Product Designer (Interaction Design/UI/UX). I have experience relevant to products from iOS & Android to Large Web Platforms. I typically consult on or perform the following:
- Product management - strategy, best practices, team building, implementation.
- Product design - strategy, best practices, team building, process, interaction design, ui design, iconography.
- Front end dev - I tend to build most things I spec at the very least to a minimum in which there is no chance of fidelity loss from prototype to final product. I've also setup processes for growing teams and established best practices for new hires.
- iOS design/dev

Currently available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~7 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes.
In the past, I've worked with companies like Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes.
Looking for 10-20 hour per week engagements only right now.

I'm a junior developer with the most experience at the frontend (JavaScript and CoffeeScript), however now I'm heavily invested in and mostly looking for work in Clojure and ClojureScript, be it backend, frontend or non-web systems. I am entirely capable of desiging and architecting sytems and libraries on my own, but I'm also keen on working with remote teams.
I'm currently knee-deep in ClojureScript + Nodejs (working on a curses UI lib and cli tools), see some ongoing open source work of mine over at https://github.com/longstorm
As well as my general github, https://github.com/goldfeld
You can get in touch at vic@longstorm.org
I'm a Fullstack Web Developer specialized in the MEAN Stack. I work mostly with Startup and help them build a great product quickly. UI / UX are domains that I highly consider and I always put them at the center of my projects.
Having experience in entrepreneurship, it bring me to see further the code, no to create a website but a real product that will catch attention.

I am a generalist whose most extensive experience is with Javascript & Ruby on Rails. I've also worked with tons of other languages, frameworks and environments (e.g. Python, Django, Express, Racket/Scheme). Most recently I was at TechStars for their hackstar/hacker in residence program. The work I did there included projects like monitoring pages for Docker instances for a Docker hosting company & private data repositories for a Github for scientific data company. Prior to TechStars I did a full re-write of a production storage & logistics app for a 5 year old business while simultaneously teaching the entrepreneur to code & teaching him Ruby/Rails. That project also included an Angular.js app. I'm also very excited about Ember.js.
Typically I work full stack. I have practiced TDD in the past but usually I code first & then write tests that leave me confident essential use cases & core functionality are covered. 100% test coverage is a great idea but I am not accustomed to the type of deadlines or large teams that facilitate 100% test coverage actually happening.
The one thing I value in code above all else (other than the code actually working and meeting your deadline) is readability. If you can read & understand the code base, you can optimize it when necessary and you can fix bugs when necessary. Coders should be good communicators. I believe my work teaching others to code speaks to my communication skills.
Currently looking for part time engagements, 20-25 hours a week, to accommodate other projects/commitments.

I'm a full stack web developer available for hire. I can pretty much do anything web-based you have for me, but my standard packages are:
My 'stack': Overall, I'm looking for quality clients and interesting work, and I'm a student so that definitely factors into rates and discounts as well.Something recent that I've been a part of was GoCodeColorado (GoCode.co), a government run statewide competition regarding web application development for civic purposes. I won 1st place at the Denver level, and made it to the top 10 in the whole state, where the top 3 won $25k and the opportunity to get $250k more. During this experience, I worked quite a bit with the aforementioned stack, winning acclaim for my work with the UI, data visualization/mapping, and scalability of the backend of the product I built.
