SEEKING WORK - Remote (part-time), based in Brazil

I'm available for full-stack software development projects in Scala (Play Framework), C# (ASP.NET MVC), JavaScript (jQuery, jQuery Mobile).

I can help if you need a web application, a REST API over an existing application or database, or perhaps an extra hand to get a few user stories off your backlog.

I love developing software and I've been doing it for 28 years. I have completed several medium and large projects, most of them business applications with relational databases. On most of these projects I have been team lead and/or senior architect. Last year I was awarded by Microsoft as a Most Valuable Professional on the Azure cloud computing platform (http://goo.gl/LDGQYl).

Currently I'm working with Scala and Play Framework on the server and JavaScript on the client. I also have many years of experience in C# and ASP.NET MVC, good command of SQL and relational data modeling, and intermediary skills in Java, Python and Ruby. I'm familiar with Linux and Windows devops, cloud, agile practices, version control, RESTful APIs, single-page applications and several other practices and tools.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I have an entirely virtual software consultancy with developers on contract around the world. We have quite a bit of work, but not enough great developers. I have had good results from HN before.

Requirements: 1) Rails 2) Any Javascript framework (we use Ember, Angular and Meteor) 3) Testing. OMG. It's so hard to find developers who right integration or unit tests.

How we work: We have Hipchat for the team where we collaborate and help each other out. We have a project manager who does lots of the client interaction and translates bugs/features into granular user stories in Pivotal Tracker.

If you're interested, hit me up here: jevin+hn@quickjack.ca

Looking to get assurances on the security of your site or application? I will perform a thorough code and security audit for you and highlight any issues related to a) security b) code quality and c) robustness.

As part of the service, I will compile a report detailing each issue, the impact it may have on your business, and how to fix it.

I can then work with your developers to fix the issues, or optionally, fix the issues myself.

If you are interested please get in touch. I can also show you an example anonymised report that I recently compiled for a custom e-commerce solution to give you a sense of what my audit covers.

I look forward to hearing from you.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based in SW Ontario, Canada

Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.).

Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating a software application to drive the receive/transmit of a novel ultrasound transducer and then scan-convert the signal into an image in real-time.

Technical keywords: C# (WPF, WinForms), C++ (QT), Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, GPGPU, etc.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote or Buenos Aires

I am looking for a web designer for a start up who can implement designs using HTML/CSS and specifically Bootstrap. I'll take care of any client side programming.

I'm looking for a simple, flat design with careful use of color like the digitalocean.com control panel.

Of course your concerns about working for an unfunded start up are justified. I am certainly not an ideal client with a large budget, but I will pay on time.

[email redacted]

Out of curiosity, are you currently based in Buenos Aires? I'm interested in learning more about the tech scene in Argentina, if you can point me to any resources. Best of luck!

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Toronto

Seeking short term contracts to supplement existing employment.

I am a human/machine interface developer. My work consists of "from scratch" UX and interface design, from the napkin to nginx. I have considerable experience with Ruby and Javascript, years of experience with Rails, and extensive knowledge of client-side MVC.

I've made contributions to Ember.js, and have written multiple 10k+ LOC apps - starting with 0.9 up to the latest 1.6.1 (one was featured on Venture Beat: http://venturebeat.com/2013/07/22/uniiverse-releases-direct-...). I am acutely aware of the challenges/strategies associated with migrating server side architecture into the browser, leaning down views, and fattening up controllers.

I am the author of an open source project called Quant (https://github.com/jdjkelly/quant) - a Rails API + Angular.js app to track "quantified self" data from every manufacturer willing to give it up. My work here was featured on The Verge alongside a similar project by the founder of Foursquare (http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/4/4392996/fitness-tracker-dat...)

Recently, I also contributed to the development of an iOS app, which is now in the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/ticket-manager-by-uniiverse/.... I was responsible for integrating a credit card device reader with an existing checkout API, testing, and delivering a final build to the app store.

Languages and frameworks I've used: Ruby, Rails, Mongo, Postgres, Sinatra, Node.js, Objective-C, Javascript, Coffeescript, Sass, Ember.js, Backbone.js, Angular.js, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3

Other tools in the box: Git, Zsh, pencils, pens, paper, Photoshop

SEEKING WORK - Front-End Developer - Copenhagen, Denmark - Remote or local

I run my own agency, 51ˢᵗ, and am looking for work from the end of August. I've been working as a front-end developer since 2009 both as a freelancer and for 3 years as a employee of a successful danish startup.

I do responsive web design, client-side JavaScript applications (primarily in React and Backbone), scalable, modular (S)CSS, optimization of existing websites both decreasing page load times and on site performance improvements such as animations and scrolling. I also work with PHP and Python/Flask.

I'm happy to do both on-site or remote work, and both Europe and US time-zones are fine. If you're interested feel free to contact me on cr@fiftyfir.st or check out http://fiftyfir.st.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

This project is to create a Windows desktop application (compatible with Windows 7) that will connect to IQFeed (http://www.iqfeed.net/) and request streaming stock ticks for about 5000 stocks. When the program starts up, the user will upload a CSV file of the tickers that he wants to stream from IQFeed. The program will then request a streaming feed for those tickers. It will keep a hash table in memory that contains the symbol as the key and the last trade price as the value. The application will also act as a server and accept network connections from other clients to access the last trade prices. The other clients will send a simple message over TCP/IP requesting the last price for a stock, and the hub should respond with the last price in the hash table.

Performance is very important for this program. You'll need a good understanding of writing multithreaded programs in .NET, as well as writing low-level TCP/IP .NET networking code using either async or a separate thread for each client (there will only be a half-dozen clients at most). I do have example code of another program (in C#) that I can provide to you that does something similar for a different data feed service. We can also investigate using a WebSockets library for the hub-client communication, but System.Net.Websockets is unfortunately unsupported on Windows 7.

Experience with IQFeed or another similar stock market data feed is definite plus. Freelancers from anywhere in the world are fine. I'm located in the New York City time zone, so we'd need to be able to find a good time to have Skype calls that fit our schedules.

Thanks for reading this posting! Please email me at andy.fiedler@fiedlerconsulting.co (co not com) if you are interested. Please include a resume or link to somewhere I can see projects you've worked on.

Hi Andy. I sent you an email but never heard from you.
SEEKING WORK - Washington DC or remote

I have been a remote contract developer for about 4 years, providing end-to-end technological solutions. While most of my work involves web development, I also have experience with web scraping, systems administration, and technical writing. I love creating new applications, but am also great at maintaining and improving existing codebases.

I love working on Python-based projects (especially Django web applications), but I have considerable experience with other technologies and am always excited to learn new things. I've worked with clients from Austria to Australia, so I have no issues providing my clients with fast communication and rapid updates regardless of their location.
