SEEKING WORK - Remote - Long or Short Term Consultation

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 - research, definition, development, strategy.

- 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

SEEKING WORK - Remote or onsite (Cologne/Bonn area in Germany)

I have spent the last 7 years building all kinds of applications with ruby on rails.

I love working with ruby, rails, coffeescript, but I am also eager to learn new stuff.

As a former sysadmin, I also do not mind taking care of the operations side of things. I also have limited experience with puppet.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Toronto

I am a full-stack web developer and have been freelancing for a couple years now -- previously I was the CTO/cofounder of an acquired startup, and I have more than a decade of professional development experience under my belt.

I am looking for contract/freelance work and currently have ~20 hours per week of availability. I frequently work with US and other international companies (with site visits if necessary).

My preferred weapon of choice is Ruby on Rails and its associated stack -- I've been working with Rails for 8 years, so I know the entire stack and ecosystem backwards and forwards. Other alphabet soup: Coffeescript, jQuery, Heroku, AWS, Ubuntu, Vagrant, etc.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in the UK)

I'm a web developer and Linux sys. admin. I'm most used to working with PHP, Code Igniter, jQuery, Javascript, Mongo, MySQL, Nginx & Apache.

I've created several projects/startups myself and I'm interested to work with startups in general.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in NYC and Baltimore)

I'm a technical marketer, and here's how I can help your startup:

* Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).

* Turn more visitors into users (for growing startups).

I do this with any or all of the following, depending on your unique case: Funnel analysis, conversion optimization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns and automated emails, content planning, and usability studies.

What makes me different from most marketing consultants:

* I can roll up my sleeves and write code when needed. This saves you design and development time on small optimization improvements. (HTML/CSS, basic JS and jQuuery, Github).

* I'm certified in Optimizely, the A/B testing tool.

* I come from an engineering background (naval engineering), so I love solving real problems. User acquisition for early startups is a great challenge for me to solve.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based in Rio, available to travel.

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

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

Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK (50 minutes from London). I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality. I can build mobile and web apps as well as fun things involving custom hardware.

I'm available to do work myself but I also have some great people I work with if you need things quicker or with an even wider range of skills.

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.

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.

See my portfolio site at http://tomparslow.co.uk for an internet controlled football playing robot and various Python, JavaScript and hardware projects that I've worked on.

Some fun stuff I've made recently:

- A solver written in Haskell for the regular expression crossword puzzle that was going round recently https://github.com/almost/regex-crossword-solver

- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js

- The Amazon Glacier support I contributed to Boto (popular Python library): https://github.com/almost/boto/tree/glacier/boto/glacier

I'd love to talk about your project. Please do get in touch!

SEEKING WORK - Los Angeles, California. Remote.

I'm working on hackEDU, a nonprofit organization that helps high school students start and lead programming clubs at their schools (https://hackedu.us). I'm doing freelance work to support myself while I work on it.

These days I've been working in primarily Go, Postgres, and AngularJS, but I'm also well-versed in Rails and Sinatra. I am versatile enough to adapt to your languages/tools and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. Some relatively recent projects include:

- A command-line utility for batch-sending email from a CSV https://github.com/zachlatta/postman

- A website that connects homeless shelters with restaurants and volunteer groups that want to help, but don't know how. It won Hack for LA (LA Times article: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-la-hackathon-201...).

- A web service that let's you embed LaTeX in standards-complient markdown (like GitHub readmes) https://github.com/texit/texit
