If you're looking for talent, by all means, check out the candidates below and if you see a good fit, connect! Please no recruiters, unless specifically indicated (opt-in).
If you're not hiring/looking to be hired, take a look over the candidates below and connect with them if you're aware of a potential fit for them.
Up/Down Voting: I would propose that up/down voting be reserved to help promote high quality submissions, and push down those clearly not putting in much effort or are off-topic. Use sparingly.

I've been programming since I was 14, and started doing it professionally at 20. I'm currently the "jack of all trades" programmer-and-more in a small IT department for a ~2000 employee company. I've enjoyed incredible flexibility to learn and implement different technologies in my current role, but unfortunately, I have to begin looking elsewhere as we're quickly losing our autonomy to our enterprisey parent company.
The approximate responsibility split at my current job is 60% pure software development, 20% devops, and 20% networking. I absolutely adore C#, but since it isn't as vogue as I wish it was, I should mention that I'm almost as fluent in several other languages. I'm proud of having a well-diversified set of skills, and if my "keyword soup" resume piques your interest, I'd love to have a more in-depth conversation with you.
I'm tied to the area for family at the moment, but I'd be happy to spend a bit on a coworking space and work remotely.
Stack: JavaScript, Node.js, AngularJS (since July 2012), Ruby at many companies, R, Postgres, MongoDB, Neo4j, Java, Python.
Worked directly with founders of Twitch.tv back at Justin.tv and founders of YouTube at MixBit/AVOS. Also experience at Brightcove and Wolfram Alpha. Lots of personal projects. BS C.S., B.S. Math. Thank you.
