London, UK | Willing to travel | Full-time

General stacks of experience: Python, Javascript, C#, Java, HTML5/CSS3, *SQL, C++, Ruby, Hardware, Android

Resume: http://marcelcutts.com/

Email: me@marcelcutts.com

Passionate full-stack technologist. I have worn a lot of hats over the past half a decade and currently splitting my time between technical and softer-skilled tasks in an approximate 80/20 split. I have completed projects by myself from inception to implementation, worked in small technically focused teams, and even led some.

I am looking for an opportunity where I can really dig deep and gain strong expertise in a technology or domain, while still retaining the ability to have some variety in my day-to-day. Give me a challenging problem, a good team, self-agency and I am a happy person!

Location: Bay Area, CA. Prefer BART accessible workplaces.

Remote: Probably not

Willing to relocate: No

I'm looking for a junior/mid level dev job at a not-too-large but not-too-small company I can make my home. Ideally, you'd have an engineering team of at least 5-10 people and a product that is bringing in money (even if you're not profitable).

I'm open to different languages and frameworks, provided you can give me time to ramp up on unfamiliar technologies.

My previous experience (1.5 years) is with a small hardware company writing software for manufacturing and testing fiber optic switches. I've been off work for a while due to some medical issues, but I'm as sharp as ever and ready to get back on the horse. If you're a web company, I'd prefer to work in a more backend focused area. Outside of web dev, I'm open to pretty much anything.

Send me an email and I'll definitely get back to you. :) I'm very willing to do technical/programming challenges if it looks like we might be a good fit.

Willing to relocate: I'd rather stay local, but am open to a position in the Bay Area.

Technologies: C#/.NET/TSQL at work, JavaScript/Node.js (angular, meteor, the usual other libs), Python, Mongo/Firebase, mysql/pssql at home. I also know Ruby and some RoR, would love to learn Go next. SQL Server I am a "generalist" or whatever term is correct these days, and like to play with all parts of the stack

chrismorgan
Location: Melbourne, Australia

Remote: preferably

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: Rust (I’m the author of its HTTP libraries), Python, Django, HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, plus plenty more. Generalist, but one who makes sure to learn his tools thoroughly.

Resume: http://chrismorgan.info/resume.html

Email: me@chrismorgan.info

I enjoy work at all levels; backend, frontend, precise usability details, deep in the bowels of algorithms, metaprogramming where reasonable, web and non-web (but mostly web)—it’s all great fun.

I’m very much interested in improving the state of web development, something I’m pursuing in my spare time and why I’m using Rust; I’m speaking at Strange Loop later this year on the topic: https://thestrangeloop.com/sessions/fast-secure-safe-the-web.... With my goals in this way, I’m very much interested in learning new tools and new paradigms.

If you happen to be interested in talking to me in person, I’m planning to be in SF later this month and probably for a few days after Strange Loop (mid–September).

trumbitta2
Location: Cagliari Area, Italy

Remote: Yes (International OK)

Willing to relocate: Maybe, for the right offer

Technologies: QA/Process management, HTML/CSS/JS, Web Accessibility, Responsive/Mobile first, beginner in Node and Angular but very excited about them

Resume: [full: http://it.linkedin.com/in/williamghelfi]

TL;DR:

------

- HTML, CSS: Grand Master

- JS: Improving Journeyman

- Creativity: Pablo Picasso

- UX Design: Architect

- Graphic Design: n/a

- DevOps: Journeyman

- Problem Solving: Mr. Wolf

Longer story:

-------------

Born, growing up.

Multi-faceted web developer, able to effectively communicate at every level from the CEO to the young intern, and with every specialist from the graphic designer to the backend developer.

My top specialization is in UX – but not graphic – design, which I just can't think of without a Mobile First approach.

I'm also a natural born catalyst when it comes to good ideas and the next tech trends, bringing a creative and focused drive to the table of every team I've been part of.

Always in the process of learning the next skill. Excellent command of written and spoken language (Italian. See further below for English).

Able to seamlessly switch from being a team manager to becoming yet another dev in another team, and working 110% in either situation for the common goal.

Email: wi.is.cold@gmail.com

I'm a software engineering generalist, but my skills run pretty deep in both systems engineering and embedded programming. I'm comfortable working at any level from handful-of-KB bare-metal microcontrollers to Linux kernel drivers to complex multithreaded application design, and I enjoy the variety of working in multiple domains.

My most extensive experience is in block storage peripherals. I've written drivers for a variety of storage protocols and I've designed and built the software architecture for products that move data from storage device A to storage device B at improbably high speeds. But I'm not really looking to get pinned down as a "block storage guy," and would prefer to branch out in a different direction and learn some new technologies along the way. Maybe you have something interesting?

I'm not really looking for yet-another-web-startup opportunities. An attractive position will have challenging problems to solve, a meaningful product to deliver, and a team of smart engineers getting it done. It might involve a physical hardware component, but that's not a requirement. If you are building something on a Node stack, you should be prepared for me to not take you seriously.

Bonus points for use of functional programming languages with strong static type systems.
