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

Freelance developer based in Brighton (50 minutes from London) but I'm also in Sheffield once a month. I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality.

I work a lot with Python and Javascript 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.

I can help you with software development myself and for larger projects, or projects requiring more diverse skills, I have an excellent team I can bring on to a project.

Recent projects include an internet controlled football playing robot and various other Python, Javascript and hardware projects. So http://tomparslow.co.uk for more details.

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

I've been building stuff with React Native this month. I've released a couple of open source modules (https://github.com/almost/react-native-sqlite and https://github.com/almost/react-native-html-webview) and have written one article (http://almostobsolete.net/react-native/custom-ios-views-with...). Very interested in more work building React Native apps and helping you to understand where React Native can help you.

SEEKING WORK - Remote. Location: Ireland.

Experienced Rails developer (9 years).

I’ve worked with several large rails codebases and high-traffic rails sites.

A few things I can do:

* Help scale your rails app, find bottlenecks, improve performance.

* Maintain or update an existing app. I’m comfortable diving into large codebases and other peoples code.

* Build your MVP. You’ll get a working, reliable, well-tested first version of your app.

Other non-rails stuff:

* Clojure. This is my current “fun” language and I’d love to work on a project that lets me use it full-time.

* Machine Learning (python and/or clojure). I have a background in machine learning and I’ve worked on a few projects that have a ML component.

SEEKING WORK - Based in Cologne, Germany, remote preferred

I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, SF, Chicago, Berlin

Experienced Meteor Developer & Designer

I've been developing in Meteor for 15 months now at two YC startups (Sourcery, and until last week lead web dev & designer at Apportable). I've presented talks at Meteor HQ in SF and the Meteor meetup in Berlin. I especially love front-end development as the interface of design and dev.

About to launch a freelance practice, so this thread is timely. I'm working on a full portfolio, but in the meantime my personal site has my resume, LinkedIn, and links to some webapps I've built at Apportable.

Site: http://www.zachalexander.com

Email: zach@zachalexander.com

If you'd like to meet/work in person, I'm in Berlin this weekend, SF next week, Chicago for the rest of May, and SF for the summer.

SEEKING WORK - Toronto, ON, Canada; remote or not

I have client projects on the go, so I'm not trying to find a full-time gig, but I'm always happy to work with new clients, so if you have work to get done and you don't need someone onsite every day, then I'd be happy to talk about how I can help. I can join an existing team, or assemble a team if it's a larger project, or I can take on work solo when that's the right fit.

The primary things I do for clients are software development (web, cloud and mobile, mostly), technical recruiting, screencasts, management, but I've got a broad range of experience in all parts of the software world and if your needs vary, I may still be able to help.

I love to build a minimally viable product to kick-start a startup implementation, but I'm equally comfortable helping to expand and evolve a large and mature codebase.

I like a wide range of technologies, but areas of focus include Java, Ruby, Objective-C, Javascript.

SEEKING WORK - Silicon Valley or Remote

Principal technical founder of an ad-tech startup, currently undergoing a transition. At present available for contract engagements.

I bring to the table 15+ years of experience in software development, architecture and operations, as well as product management / marketing and business development. While my particular strength is "connecting the dots" across various disciplines, I am always happy to get my hands dirty to get projects delivered. I've had experience with Silicon Valley companies throughout their entire lifecycle, going back to the original dot-com era.

An engagement may involve me serving as a "force multiplier" of your existing team - think of the biggest challenges your organization is facing and what kind of problems your staff is not currently equipped to solve. Here are examples of what I could do for you:

- Product / business planning, review and strategy

- Design / technical architecture for new product development

- Business case development / feasibility assessment for non-technical enterprise executives

- Concept development / remote team recruitment for startups at "funded concept" stage

- Virtual/interim product manager / general advisor

While I have some level of experience with a very long list of technologies, above all I believe in pragmatic approach to choosing tools to fit the task at hand. The most recent/intimate experience in the current stack has been with delivering scale, performance and fault-tolerance in Big Data operations using the following principal technologies:

- Front-End : Python, Django, JavaScript, Bootstrap

- Backend/IDL : Java, Thrift, Avro

- Data Stores : Hadoop/HBase, Redis, MySQL/PgSQL

- Data Science : Custom-engineered algorithms/solvers with performance way above off-the-shelf packages

Due to the sensitive nature of my current commitments, details on my background would only be available to qualified clients able to articulate the specific problems they need help with.
