Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (November 2013)
Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location and whether remote work is a possibility.
Lambda is a talent agency for freelance developers and designers. We help you find clients, negotiate for higher rates, and take care of the business side of freelancing.
- Exceptional talent only: $100/hr minimum rate.
- No recruiters or spam. We're developers too and we only match consultants with projects that fit their expertise and interest.
- Serious clients only: Wanna hear about a disruptive social network for cats that "just needs a coder"? Neither do we.
- Freelancers with side projects or startups are especially welcome!
We've posted about this on HN a few times and have been amazed by the response. I apologize if you applied last month and we haven't gotten back to you yet. We interview everyone personally and are still ramping up the process. We'll reach out as soon as we can!
Right now, we're particularly looking for NYC Rails devs. If that sounds like you, shoot me an email and I'll bump you to the top of the queue.
Most people we speak to are open to consultants that work remotely, but prefer devs that can occasionally be on-site for kick-off meetings and the like. If you can meet with a client once a week, that gives you a tremendous advantage over devs that are entirely remote.

BSD, ZFS, OpenSSH, PAM: Distributed, Encrypted Open Source Data Sync, Share, & Storage with Bitcoin Message Signing
Project: http://electrum.org - Lightweight Bitcoin thin client, as advocated for by Satoshi Nakamoto [1]
Developed by Dr. Thomas Voegtlin, French PhD neuroscientist, Electrum is an exceptionally simple Bitcoin wallet written in Python, that protects you from losing your Bitcoins due to backup mistakes or computer failure. Electrum automatically generates with each newly created wallet a list of twelve common words from English poetry, which Thomas hand-picked specifically to aid in memorization and long-term recall.
You must be willing to make extensive use of IRC for communication, and you should probably at least possess a passing interest in Bitcoin, if you want to take on this project.
I'm looking for a systems engineer who can think about problems creatively. I've been agonizing over how to appropriately handle data sync, share, and storage. I've considered everything from Tahoe-LAFS to BitTorrent, from a simple Flask API to Git. I'm looking for the simplest possible solution. If this sounds even slightly interesting please email me at:
echo YW5keUBzaWVycmEzZC5jb20K | base64 -d
or ping me on #electrum (Freenode). I'm atweiden.

PROJECT: Shopular (shopular.com) is a mobile shopping app. We have a lot of interesting usage data which we want to analyze and visualize. We are a small fun team and this project will get a lot of external visibility. Both roles have a chance of turning into longer projects / fill-time.
DATA AND VISUALIZATION ENGINEER: You can comfortably work with huge data files (GBs) and proficient in a scripting language like python/ruby to massage that data to get interesting aggregates and insights. You can visualize the insights using a package like D3js. Prior D3 experience huge plus, especially with visualizations on a map.
DESIGNER: You have experience building infographics and other visualizations. You are very creative, self guided and can take off from a concept/idea. Please point to prior work.
If you think you are a good fit for either role above, we'd love to hear from you ASAP.

Looking for javascript developers with a skill level anywhere from "reasonably comfortable" to "super amazing"
We have a ton of very small tasks that need to be completed for a large project (ex: "implement this single test case as described" or "add pagination to this API route"). The context of the work is roughly data and analytics for server farms.
The nice thing about these tasks is that there are very many, and they are very specific in terms of deliverables (ex: the test case either passes or doesn't), and they're pretty small, so we're pretty flexible about the amount of work, and we can try each other out with a few small tasks.

This month, I will launch a marketplace for freelance programmers that have contributed to open source.
The site uses GitHub login, and to join the site as a freelancer, you need at least one commit in a public repo with at least 25 stars.

I'm in the UK.
My name is Ram Rachum, and I’m a freelance software developer. I help businesses solve their problems using software, mostly by developing web-based applications.
I work mainly in Python and Django.
On the technical level, it’s my responsibility to have high problem-solving skills; to design a good architecture for each project I work on; to implement that architecture quickly and effectively; and to be experienced with the languages and frameworks that I’m using, so when a problem comes up, I don’t have to spend 2 hours to research and solve it but rather just 5 minutes, because I’ve seen that problem dozen of times before.
On the project-management level, it’s my responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with the client and my collaborators on the project; to understand exactly what the client wants to build as we plan together how to build it; to always keep the client updated about progress; to have an owner mentality and make decisions with the best interest of the client in mind; to own up to mistakes when they happen; and to always get feedback as early as possible from the client and from the users, so we know we’re not wasting time going into blind alleys, and we’re spending time only on features that the users are happy with.
My email is ram@rachum.com . Send me an email and say hello.
More details about me: http://ram.rachum.com/cv/
I'm a fullstack web developer available to take on all parts an app, from frontend to backend and even some system administration. I've been building web based projects for myself and professionally for the past 6+ years. I'm most familiar with the following technologies: PHP(CodeIgniter), Python(Django), Javascript(node.js, backbone, angular) and MySQL/MongoDB/Solr. I left my employer earlier this year where I was lead developer for 2 of their largest sites to begin doing contract/freelance work again.
I just launched my latest contract project, the new playlist.com, a single page web app built using Angular.js, Node.js and MongoDB.You can also check out my latest side project http://iwaat.com, a search engine for web applications.

Wrote a comedy novella and published that earlier this year. Maintain my own Rogue-like (on GitHub, in Python.) Written outline for a planned book on Software Performance & Scalability and writing the first few chapters is underway.

Need someone to help you with heading up your technical team?
I am a full-stack developer with CTO experience. I take on all types of projects: front end web, mobile, back end server, database, devops, custom software solutions, and hardware integrations.
Languages/Protocols: Objective-C (iPhone, OSX), Node.JS, GWT, Java, PHP, HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python, Windows 8 SDK, Unity3D, Flex, Action Script 3.0, .NET Framework, C#, ASP.Net, VB.Net, ADO.Net, SQL, XML, C++, C, HTTP, ASP, openGL, Microchip PIC
Cloud Platforms: Amazon Web Services, Heroku, Windows Azure Database: MongoDB, MySQL, GAE Datastore, Elastic Search, MS SQL Server, Berkeley
Management: I have experience creating company/project budgets, making HR decisions, deciding company/product direction, managing a small team, and creating complete project plans.
Architect: I have experience in requirements gathering, full stack technology selection, system design, application design, application implementation, systems testing, load/stress testing, system trouble shooting, production rollout, some experience with globalization/localization, as well as some experience with custom circuit board/hardware design and programming.
Data-centric developer, currently immersed in Python after a lengthy and generally happy career with OO Perl, and past lives in Java and C -- involving, among other things, a fair amount of web crawling & data modeling, DML/DDL on various SQL platforms, and occasional frontend / backend web development. Available for part-time / full-time freelance engagements until Spring of 2014, and perhaps for permanent positions thereafter.
On other fronts -- U.S. citizen; NYC resident; hard science degree. I don't come from a formal Machine Learning background, but having done a bit of work in NLP & sentiment analysis, I'd be highly motivated to take on opportunities to build out my skills in this area. I also like being challenged to learn (interesting) languages at the drop of a hat, and would be keenly interested in diving into (for example) Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell, Go, R, or Julia. In any case, most of my work in the past few years has involved "data husbandry" to a significant degree, and I'd very much like to keep investing in this general direction (but a lucid web development project can potentially be quite interesting, also).
BTW, I'll be at PyData this weekend if you'd like to meet up spontaneously & chat; otherwise, just drop me a short note describing what you're working on, & what you're looking for in a collaborator (beyond the usual keyword filler), & we'll take it from there.
Thanks!

I have lots of experience designing simple interfaces for complicated websites. I also believe in launching code often and breaking a problem down into small parts that can be delivered in days rather than months. There really is no reason why there can't at least be some soft internal or private launch that can get users playing with something.
I would like to work with a company or someone that has interesting problems to solve. I'm at my best when I'm working with people that enjoy discussing and trying to figure out elegant solutions and are self motivated to produce great results.
For any questions or if you would like to chat you can contact me at rob@duchnik.com

Content is king if you want to be heard above the noise of the Internet. But if you're heads-down focused on building a product or making sales, you probably don't have time to make quality content for your inbound marketing program. And if you do have time, the stress of wrangling SMEs, getting consensus and approval, and building content that's as awesome as your company is can be killer.
# I help you solve content problems
I have seven years of experience writing engaging content that helps business persuade, inform, and educate. Before that, I spent ten years learning about, using, and training adults to use complicated technology. Because of this background, I'm able to make knotty, complex subjects easily understood using a variety of media, and enliven prosaic subjects with colorful analogies, custom visuals, and backstories. I write short and long-form white papers, case studies, howto guides, and web copy, and I get projects from concept to completion with as much or as little of your involvement as you want.
I combine disciplined project management with a flexible work style to integrate smoothly with even the most harried product or marketing team. And I'm practically a mind reader when it comes to talking with SMEs.
# I can help
If you have a content problem, or you need new content for your marketing efforts, let me know and I'll gladly take some time to chat with you about potential solutions. If I'm the right fit for your needs, I'll share work samples and work up a proposal.
# Contact Philip@philipmorganconsulting.com

Heavy/primary OS Linux user since the late 90's and working on the admin end (now trendily "devops") since the early 00's. Mostly have worked with small and mid-size businesses. Do you prefer Debian or RedHat based distros, or something else entirely? Are you hosting on self-assembled server racks? dedicated colo boxes? AWS slices? Do you want a slick Apache setup, or prefer nginx, or want some feedback deciding on how you want it all set up -- or just want someone to take all those worries off your hands and let you focus on your own strengths? Let's chat.
Also familiar with Ruby/Rails, HTML, CSS3 and some popular frameworks, shell scripting, MySQL, and am generally a quick study. I'm interested in moving more toward the dev end of the spectrum, so blended projects are especially welcome.
Oh, and I actually enjoy writing thorough documentation. Twisted, eh?

Android mobile developer with extensive experience working on an app that is one of the most popular in the Play Store right now. You've heard of it. I've also worked with YC startups in the past, so I have references if you need them.
I have experience developing UIs, networking frameworks, advanced camera work, OpenGL, and native C/C++/JNI level implementations. I've even hacked the Android source code to bend it to my will. If you need help on your app, or need someone to build it from scratch, I'm your man. I can even make sure, within reason, that it'll work all the way down to Gingerbread 2.3.
My Github is pretty sparse, as most of my projects have been private: http://github.com/HorizonXP
You should e-mail me, at least to discuss your project. Otherwise, reply here.
I'm excited to hear from people, I love hearing what people are working on!

Full-stack web developer with sharp marketing skills.
I can help with figuring out how to make more money out of your application (B2B SaaS apps are where I have the most experience).

REMOTE IS FINE
We are in Cupertino.
We are the team behind Mokriya Craigslist. Time, Wall Street Journal, Mashable, Xconomy, and a slew of tech bloggers raved about it. Check it out. http://craigslist.mokriya.com/
We are a team of engineers, UX designers, and thinkers. We have worked for some of the hottest tech startups in Silicon Valley, including Path, MixPanel, Threadflip, SimpleGeo, SideCar, etc.
Google has us on a list of "best mobile development teams in the country" so we get calls from them occasionally too.
About You
You're a Technical-Geek/Copywriter Hybrid. You are a technophile by nature, and love learning about and exploring new technologies. You don't have to be an engineer, but you should have a solid grasp of things like MVC, agile development, etc. If you know the other side of the shop (user-centered design), you get bonus points. Basically, you need to be able to speak intelligently about software development, specifically as it relates to Mobile. Also, you should be very good at breaking down complicated ideas into bite-sized morsels of "oohhh, I get it" gooeyness. Our target audience are the business-people who make decisions about technologies to use inside of companies. The rare few are engineers. Most are not. If you can connect well with these people (the challenges of working inside a big co., getting projects out the door, playing the political games, etc.), then you will get more bonus points! :)
About the Work
We are creating a series of guides as a part of a larger content-marketing vision. The guides we write will cover topics like, "How to vet and hire a great mobility firm," "Best practices for creating a compelling mobile experience," "Advanced guide to understanding the cross-platform tools available", etc. We have 2 full-time, awesome designers, who you will work closely with to make the pieces super-compelling. We will loosely borrow the style of these guides:

Looking forward to connecting. Email adam@mokriya.com to kick off a conversation. Thanks, Adam
I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps.
Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL.
Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB.
Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of. Github (perhaps a bit dusty): https://github.com/zakwilson
My current focus is Django/Python development work, although I also have experience with WordPress, PHP, and a variety of other technologies. I can write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by hand, configure and secure your Linux server, or even optimize Apache or nginx so that your website can scale to thousands of visitors.
I can build your MVP or help you maintain and improve an existing website. I write technical specifications, use comments in my code, and am adept at Git.

I am looking for a person to create a website. The website will be a minimalistic, barebones bitcoin wallet with only the basic functions. The entire website will be 1 page. Layout/looks are not important, I am looking for the following functionalities: - User accounts - Bitcoin balance displayed for each user - Withdraw/deposit buttons so users can deposit or withdraw from their bitcoin balance - When a user deposits bitcoins, the bitcoins will go to a central bitcoin wallet for the entire site, but each user has his own balance based on how much s/he deposited
That's it. No social media or anything like that. Message me for clarification/details if you are interested.

At Gro Ventures, we are pioneering agricultural supercomputing as a means to transform Africa into a breadbasket for the world in a span of 20 years. African agriculture is riddled with inefficiencies rooted in the lack of free-flowing, real-time information—a necessary component for data-driven reform and the creation of a truly functional commodities market. Data visualization is at the heart of agricultural supercomputing, defined as the integration of various technologies widely used around the world today to create the first real-time agricultural data analytics platform for Africa. Through agroinformatics and state of the art data visualization, we will for the first time in Africa’s history allow real time data driven decision making.
The project will consist of building several customized web visualizations based off the results of an agricultural study of several countries. We are seeking individuals or teams who can develop a visualization application consisting of pricing, yield, weather and various other economic and commodities driven data. You will work directly with our Head Data Scientist and Research Analysts to design and implement a state-of-the-art web visualization.
We are looking for talented, experienced engineers to work out of NYC for a period of 4-12 weeks depending on agreed upon timelines and deliverables.
Candidates must be proficient in the following areas: -Extensive Javascript and CSS experience. -Experience with one or more SVG or Canvas-based visualization toolkits, i.e. D3.js, or a keen interest in learning. -Know the ins and outs of websockets and AJAX communications with various backend data services. -Understand data binding and have used MV* frameworks enough to be dangerous. -Prior data analysis experience (even at the Excel level) very useful. -Basic understanding of financial concepts, including pricing and returns
Interested candidates should submit a resume or LinkedIn profile by email to info@gro-ventures.com with the subject line D3 Front-End and Data Visualization Consultant.

Independent developer for the last several years, with many years of experience in many tech areas. Contracted/consulted to multiple startups based in USA and India. Earlier worked for large well-known US software product and Indian software services companies.
Skills: Good - Python, C, Linux, UNIX, many open source technologies, databases, XML-RPC, PDF programming, file and data format conversion, data munging, command-line utility development. Some: Flask, MongoDB, Bottle, various others.
Worked on Ruby, Rails and Java earlier. Server lead / senior engineer for two commercial Rails-based dot-com products earlier, by US companies. One of them was TaskBin - http://taskbin.com - for the first version.
Databases worked on: Oracle, Sybase, Informix, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, HSQLDB, MS-Access. Used (relational) databases in practically all projects I've worked on.
Did a lot of UNIX support and successful troubleshooting for years (some years earlier), still have some of those skills, which are useful in development too. Had many times recovered clients' data from corrupted file systems or crashed machines (with no backups :), using various tricks of the trade learnt on the job, and solved various other software problems, often involving various interacting software components (from OS level through language compilers to application programs and databases). Wrote lots of utilities in C and UNIX shell tools (sed, awk, grep and friends) to automate various tasks (for both users and developers), convert data between various formats from one platform to another, etc.
Not really looking for full-time UNIX / Linux admin work now, mentioning it as a possible value-add, depending on the job required.
Worked on a best-selling retail banking product (much earlier, in C with proprietary DB and UI libs). Team leader for a database middleware product widely used in client projects by a top software services company.
