Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (February 2015)
Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location and whether remote work is a possibility.
I am a full-stack Web developer (since 1993) and an independent consultant (since 1995). I set up one of the 100 Web sites in the world, write the monthly Web technology column for Linux Journal, and have a PhD in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University.
Currently, I spend half of my time helping developers to use open-source tools more effectively. I teach Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to individuals and companies (including Apple, Cisco, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare), in the US, Europe, Israel, and China. I also give free Webinars, curate http://DailyTechVideo.com/, and spoke at December's http://hacksummit.org/.
My ebook, "Practice Makes Python" (http://lerner.co.il/practice-makes-python), gives Python developers a chance to improve their skills after taking a course, but before embarking on real-world projects.
In addition to formal courses, I offer mentoring and code-review services. If you are a new programmer, then I can help you to avoid pitfalls and mistakes. If your team is new to a set of technologies, I can improve your processes and code quality, on a one-time or ongoing basis. I have done this for such companies as SAP and Fiverr, with great success.
In addition to my work as a trainer and mentor, I do software development projects, generally using one or more of the technologies mentioned above. Such projects range from simple database optimizations to full-scale Web development projects.
I like to speak with and help nice people with interesting projects, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so.
If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, on Skype as "reuvenlerner", or on WeChat (微信) as "ReuvenLerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ , and on my blog at http://blog.lerner.co.il/ .
I'm a no-nonsense mobile & web designer who designs to meet product and user objectives; not to fill my portfolio with pretty pics. I've been freelancing for 4 years with 6 months full-time in a startup.

I help startups and small business owners get more growth by attracting more leads and closing more customers.
In a nutshell, I refine their marketing to deliver a better message to more qualified leads; put the spotlight on referral generation, user activation, and user retention; and set up actionable metrics to optimize each of these activities.
In more practical terms, I make them collect user data using direct interactions, surveys, and analytics; spot high potential niche markets and sales channels based on this data; optimize their conversion funnels using A/B tests; and automate their sales process using drip emails, transactional emails, and whatever else moves the needle most.
A highlight in my career to date has been to turn a personal blog into a thriving software business. I had the privilege of working at the side of renowned marketers while doing so. Most businesses can benefit from applying the insights I’ve picked up then and since.
I’m open for a position as a marketing or product manager in addition to consulting work.
Get in touch if any of the above is of general interest to you, and we'll discuss how I can help you amplify your revenue.

I'm an experienced full-stack software developer, team lead and interim CTO.
Keyword soup: C#/.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, ReactJS, Java, Scala, C++ and Python, Elixir (Erlang VM), Xamarin, PhoneGap/Cordova.
As an engineer, I specialize in ReactJS based projects and CQRS backends. I've been the lead engineer and architect for three React-based projects up until now, including http://www.izooble.com, if you'd like a sizeable showcase.
React does not dictate your frontend software architecture. Depending on your needs and your team's existing skills, very different architectures may be best. I can help you figure this out so that we're productive very fast but still produce good and maintainable code from the get-go.
As a team lead, I specialize in cutting away the nonsense and getting a team highly productive in startup-like environments. I accomplish this with a lightweight, non-religious, and highly reflective agile process, together with a pragmatic focus on internal software quality. This focus ensures that the team is productive today and also next month.
Contact info on http://superset.eu.
Freelance developer based in Brighton (50 minutes from London) but I'm also in Sheffield for about a week every month. I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality.
I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and Javascript (Node.JS and browser, often with Angular.JS or D3.JS) 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, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.

What I do: Backend engineer / Sysadmin.
Do you need a backend service to talk to your flashy new web / mobile app?
Does your current build and deployment system give you nightmares about the only dev who understands it falling under a bus?
Need a proof-of-concept for your latest, hard-to-pigeonhole idea?
I do have experience of the full stack (including AngularJS and Coffeescript; see below) but am looking for work primarily involving the back end of the stack, or server admin / reliability / scaling. In previous lives I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica.
Recent work:
* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)
* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)
* Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)
Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, Chef, AWS, Heroku, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR
Tools: Git for version control, Jira for issue tracking, HipChat to keep in touch.

At one point or another I've been paid to develop in Python, C, Perl, Java, x86 assembly, Matlab, Fortran, PHP and a few other languages. I do mostly Python these days.
Some things I've recently completed:
- RESTful API for a mobile app (Relational database design, PostgreSQL, psycopg2, Flask, Jinja2, collaborative filtering, NumPy, SciPy, json, Sphinx)
- A couple of scrappers for large amounts of data (BeautifulSoup, lxml, PyQuery, pdftotext, pdfminer, requests, MySQL)
- Concurrent, asynchronous, scalable tool to check wide variety of responses over HTTP (Python 3, XML, ElementTree, concurrent, requests)
- Scalable, non-blocking proxy for Android/iOS/BlackBerry push notifications (Tornado, Supervisor)
- A couple of mobile-optimized websites (jQuery Mobile, SQLite, PHP, Symfony)
I'm partial to FreeBSD, Vim and the command line, but adapt to whatever I have to use to get stuff done.
I've also completed a few dozen gigs in a major freelancing website across a wide variety of skills, you can check my work history and feedback there: https://www.freelancer.com/u/denep.html

I write software for the boring things.
By that I mean in addition to writing application code, I also write code for application infrastructure, systems programming, and business process automation. I'm not a graphic designer, so I can't make an app look pretty. But I can make it work and make all of the pieces talk to each other.
Application areas I've worked on include:
- Customer service for a Fortune 1000 company (orders, back orders, purchase orders, warranties, inventory control, etc.) - Employee scheduling - Farm data management - Various government records systems (law enforcement, planning and zoning, healthcare) - Electrical infrastructure data management (GIS, power lines, transformers, etc.).
I've been developing custom software for clients for over 30 years, primarily using Microsoft technologies. I'm currently well versed in Microsoft's .Net stack, as well as front-end development in JavaScript and its related libraries. I'm also developing skills in Linux, Haskell, and Common Lisp.
Looking for PART-TIME contract or salaried work.
I've been working on a development team for several years as a contract worker. I'm looking for a better arrangement while I continue my university education pursuing degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics.
Most of my experience in the upper levels of the web stack, but I'm very much interested to attack other areas of the stack, development process, documentation, etc., open source tools and open source platforms.
With my current hat, I've been working to connect backend to frontend and developing the frontend using typical, but not remarkable web tech. I'm especially interested in participating in high-quality development processes with great people.
I've developed APIs, managed conversion of a project from long-lived HTTP to websockets, improved backend database libraries, written great technical documentation, and more. My strongest backend language is Ada which is a reflection of the kind of qualities I value in software and processes.
My interests are across the board including (but not limited to) full-stack for web, Android and Windows mobile apps, data science and visualization.
Please get in touch. CC3cZk at wh.ftml.net.
I'm a full-stack developer with over a decade of programming experience. My primary platforms have been C#/.NET, Python/Flask, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, PHP, and C++. In my spare time I program with Clojure and Python, and I would love to use these technologies specifically.
I can handle most roles but am most efficient on the backend, with a sprinkling of supplemental UI/UX development.
I've spent time in finance, GIS/mapping, and telecom, and have worked on project-based contracts and as a freelancer for startups, both on-site and remotely.

I'm the solo founder of a self-funded company, building a unique customer analytics product (http://gini.io). I've built the first version of the product myself, and am now looking for help with the development so that I can spend more time on sales and marketing.
The product is a Ruby on Rails 4 app, hosted on Heroku with a Postgres database. It makes heavy use of a few APIs - Intercom, FullContact, LinkedIn. There is very little Javascript at the moment, but this might change as we add new features.
I need someone whose primary experience is in writing and running Rails apps in production. If Rails is just something you've dabbled in a bit, then you won't be a good fit.
I'll pay a fair rate, but as a self-funded solo founder, I can't afford to pay London/SF senior dev rates. So, the ideal candidate would be someone remote with a competitive rate, or someone local who's a bit junior and looking to gain some experience.
Email me at hrishimittal@gmail.com with specific examples of your Rails experience and why you think you'll be perfect for this role.
I'm a front-leaning, full-stack developer that is living in Berlin. I am American, and know just a bit of German (but am learning).
I have experience with every aspect of creating an application, from mockups and UX design, to graphic design, to the full-stack implementation, to deployment.
I've successfully built and sold a past start-up of mine, and have a great deal of insight with product development. Because of this, I'm probably of most value the earlier a project is in its life cycle.
Backend stack: Ruby on Rails, with DBs/data stores such as MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search.
Frontend stack: my strong preference is for React.js, though I've done a ton of work with Angular and Meteor (and some Backbone). I am well-versed in current best practices, can build responsive mobile-friendly websites, and code pixel perfect CSS and HTML5.
I'm also a very capable graphic designer, which you can see from viewing past and present work on my portfolio.

I'm a front-end developer with large experience in building advanced web applications and complex UI. I've specialized in React and have a deep understanding of application architecture and JavaScript in general.
I do both development and consultancy and I'll be able to help you team make the right decisions early on or apply new technology (such as using React in an existing app) to existing projects.
I also do some back-end development in both Python (Flask, SQLAlchemy, Celery) and PHP, for example to build an API to support a web application.

Wildfish - http://wildfish.com
We're a London based consulting collective looking for a Django developer to help us out on some ongoing projects, typically building web apps for startups or client sites. Ideally we're hoping to build up relationships with people who may like to dip in and out of things as needed, so it's fine if you can't commit full time right now (although also fine if you can!).
We're looking for a Django specialist who's also comfortable enough with some front end too. We mostly all work remotely these days and keep in touch via Slack. Ideally we'd like someone who can set their working day to roughly 4 hours within that of London time.
Some of the things we use:
- Python/Django [Essential]
- HTML/CSS/Javascript
- Twitter Bootstrap
- PostgreSQL
- Ubuntu Linux Server Administration
- TDD, django-webtest
- Ember, Angular
- Docker
You'll be working autonomously a fair bit, so it's important that you're the sort of person who has attention to detail and can read requirements carefully.
Please email work@wildfish.com, including 3 of your favourite Django apps and the rate you're looking for.
Thanks!
I’m Tommy. I help SaaS businesses make more money by optimizing their sales funnel.
1- Visitor-To-Signup: get more people to try your product
2- Signup-To-Activation: define a better first experience and get more people actually using your product
3- Trial-To-Revenue: convert those free trials into paid customers, by designing your product for it
How do I do this? I help bridge the gap between marketing and engineering and do fast cycles of A/B testing to test new ways for you to make more money.
Examples:
- I write and integrate lifecycle emails into your product (I have spent years writing complex software products so you don’t have to worry about it)
- I help you find sources of churn by looking for user feedback and analyzing it
- I work on copywriting to find the best way to get a user to sign up for your product
- I help you design your free trial in order to maximize your customer success, which creates happy customers and a better business for you
I’m an engineer/marketer with 10 years experience in software and developed my own products. You can subscribe to my newsletter about SaaS conversions here: http://saasfoundry.io
I'm a full-stack developer with nearly a decade of professional experience. I like Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and Python. Right now I'm looking for a 3-6 month full-time contract, ideally in London. For remote roles I'm available longer-term too.
I spent 4 and a half years at Last.fm, giving me experience in writing code that scales to millions of users. I helped a medical startup rearchitect their code to be testable, more reliable, and extendable. More recently I wrapped up a Rails project for Skype with a tight deadline and non-negotiable scope. Together with one other developer, we delivered it on time and under budget.
My ideal contract would be one of these:
- You're a startup looking for help building your product, developing a roadmap, iterating with customers, and building your permanent team.
- You're in a tight spot and in need of rescue. Maybe you've got too much technical debt. Maybe you've got no tests and no documentation. Maybe you've got no supporting infrastructure and no backups. I'll help you get back to a good place.
- You've got a team you trust, but don't have enough developers right now. You need someone who'll get up to speed quickly, turn up on time, and pull his weight with the rest of the team.

I'm a technical marketer, and I help companies do the following:
- Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).
- Turn more visitors into users, leads, or customers (aka, conversion optimization).
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 tests.
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 (by "real" I mean things that directly impact your revenue).

I've been using React.js since the week it came out, and have built two large business app frontends in it. Here's a screenshot of one of them: http://curator-lilita-10664.bitballoon.com/work-area-metadat...
I spend most of my time founding a startup, but am available for short term React.js consulting. This could manifest itself several ways, here are some ideas: two days a week indefinitely, or a fixed duration pilot project, or a one week training course to ramp up a new team.
I would also consider longer term commitments for a Clojure/ClojureScript team if the fit is stellar, and particularly if there was an intersection of interests with my startup interests.

Freelance independent consultant looking for web or software work. I get things done and pick up new projects quickly. Great communicator (for estimates, handling vague specs, open-ended work), knows startup chaos (former CTO and co-founder). Passionate about doing good, building great products, and quality work.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
I'm also able to join forces with a UX/UI designer whom I often work with in a team. We are an incredibly productive pair.
I am an independent software consultant and I help your development team reliably and sustainably build and deliver amazing software. With over 15 years experience in operations and application development, I now specialize in helping companies automate their infrastructures, establish automated, repeatable deployments and build virtualized development environments that are consistent with production.
My services include:
* Infrastructure automation using Chef or Ansible on AWS, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, or other IaaS cloud providers.
* Building reproducible and shareable development environments for your team using Vagrant
* Establish the processes and tools needed to ensure fast and reliable automated deployments and move your organization along the spectrum towards continuous delivery

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. Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and various sports analytics software solutions (for example, my side-project http://recappd.com).
Technical keywords: C++, C#, Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, GPGPU, Rails, R, Python, and more.
Developer with 11 years professional experience. I would say expert level with Ruby on Rails, JS, CSS and comfortable with AWS and other systems level technologies. Essentially full stack, able to work on any part of a web app.
Recently I work as a team with two other experienced developers to deliver large projects. Our focus is on quality while being fast and keeping to an agreed development timeline. We work best when taking whole projects, such as redeveloping an existing site, creating a new site, or service to be used with your existing platform.
We are all full stack developers with recent experience of client side applications using Backbone and Angular, CSS using Bootstrap, LESS and SASS, Rails 4 and hosting on AWS using Chef. One of us is/was a designer, so we can turn rough wireframes into something that looks good and is slick to use.

I'm a web developer with over 6 years of experience. I've worked at agencies and start-ups. I moved to Czech about a year ago. The last job I had was at a start-up where I was responsible for building a platform for online versions of university-level text books. The last year I've been working on my own projects; one to help with collaboration between web and design professionals, the other in the bitcoin space.
I have experience building, deploying, and managing multiple different web applications. My primary focus the last year has been in node.js, but I have years of experience before that using the PHP web stack.

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 have minimal experience making Android apps. 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, SASS, responsive CSS.
Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah.
Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

I'm an emergency startup lead developer. I'm your panic button. I will dive into the mud and get an excellent version of your product across the finish line and into users' hands. The reason I have been successful at this is because I deeply understand how engineering choices impact product features, and vice-versa. My skills come as a triad: rapidly prototyping web products with 2-6 person teams, backend webapp infrastructure engineering and architecture, and algorithmic design and domain modeling.

I am SW developer with extensive knowledge of Rails and Objective-C, with couple of projects on my own and 10+ years of professional development under my belt. There are few other members of our team who can help in UX/development if needed.
Remote work would be great, but onsite work in Berlin/London or other European cities are ok. I am looking for short contract: something between week and one month.
We're an advertising agency that has helped take our clients app to #1 grossing for education with an ROI positive budget.We've done some awesome work for other tech companies as well. We're less traditional than most agencies. Think less 6 month marketing plan and more rapid deployment and iteration. If you like the idea of an outsourced marketing team that uses scrum modified for marketing instead of software, we're probably a good fit.

I am a design-savvy developer with a passion for iOS. My skills extend to Android, web (Angular) and server side as well. Additionally, in my last project I worked on integrating with Bluetooth Smart (Low Energy) devices, proximity and reporting back where the devices have been using location data.
I have managed many projects that were built from the ground up. While I’ve mainly been tasked with the iOS work for these projects, I was also directly involved with the whole software architecting. Many years of experience as a product manager has given me the ability to understand what customers need and help bring it to life. My experience spans all kinds of social/database integrations, as well as building REST-full web-services. I have done a substantial amount of work in Photoshop and Illustrator, which allows me to easily dissect graphic designs into actual software components.

I'm the creator of xtopdf, a PDF creation toolkit for Python. xtopdf is used by Packt Publishing (UK), the Software Freedom Law Center (US), ESRI (NL), among others.
xtopdf can create both a) composite business reports (from a combination of input sources) and b) simple PDF ebooks; it currently has support for the following input formats (more are always in the pipeline):
plain text, HTML text, DBF/XBASE, CSV, TSV/TDV, XLS, XLSX, DOC, DOCX, SQLAlchemy, PyDAL, MongoDB, Berkeley DB, SQLite, standard input (think UNIX data-munging pipelines involving sed, grep, awk and friends, with PDF as the final output [1]), XML, tablib, PrettyTable, JSON, MySQL, MS Access, and any database that supports the Python DB API or ODBC.
[1] http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2013/12/xtopdf-pdfwriter-can-creat...
There are proof of concept apps for using xtopdf with command-line (CLI), GUI (wxPython), Web (Flask, Bottle, CherryPy, Netius, WSGI) user interfaces, and via XML-RPC. It can be made to work with other GUI toolkits and Web frameworks too. xtopdf runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X (and can probably run on other UNIXen too, though not tested on them, due to being written in a mainly platform-independent way).
Also:

Have been an independent developer for the last several years, with many years of experience in many technical areas. Have 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: Python, Linux, UNIX, many open source technologies, many databases, XML-RPC, PDF programming (both PDF generation and PDF text extraction), file and data format conversion, data munging, command-line utility development, Flask, MongoDB, Bottle, SQLAlchemy, RESTful API design, implementation and use, git, mercurial (hg), SVN, various others. Worked a good amount on Ruby, Java and C earlier - somewhat rusty on them but can pick up / refresh again.
Worked on Ruby, Rails and Java earlier. Was server lead / senior engineer for two commercial Rails-based dot-com products earlier, by US companies. One of them was TaskBin - http://taskbin.com .
Databases worked on: Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, SQLite, MS SQL Server. Used databases in most of the projects I've worked on in my career. ORMs or similar: ActiveRecord with Ruby on Rails, SQLAlchemy with Python.
Worked on a best-selling retail banking product (earlier, in C with proprietary DB and UI libs). Was team leader for a database middleware product (in C) that was widely used in client projects by a top software services company.
Did a lot of UNIX support and successful troubleshooting for years (some years earlier), still have some of those skills, which are often 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 many 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. A nice example: writing a pair of programs - a Java servlet/HTML form and a UNIX C setuid program - that worked together to provide safe, controlled access with escalated privileges (of the DBA user) to developers via the browser.

An article by me about "Developing a Linux command-line utility" (in C) was published on IBM developerWorks and translated by IBM into Chinese and Japanese for those versions of their site. Some organizations have developed production command line tools using that article as a guide.
The article (in PDF) and its source code can be accessed via this page:

and a practical use of the utility, together with my xtopdf library, can be seen here:

What I do: Conversion Rate Optimisation / PPC & SEO (Think of a slightly less technical version of patio11)
URL: http://www.afterwire.com.au/
Pitch: I've spent a number of years working at some major agencies where I was the lead consultant for some huge multinational brands when it came to a lot of their digital marketing.
I've since decided to move away from the world of salaries and make a go of things on my own with my partner who was the head of Conversion Rate Optimisation and Analytics for all of Asia Pacific for another huge multinational agency.
We are looking to work with a couple of businesses upfront in either a purely commission based fashion or alternatively for HEAVILY DISCOUNTED rates. Right now we are focused on developing a couple of killer case studies that we can use in the future.
If you work with a business where moving the needle a few percentage points is likely to have a real impact in terms of financials for the business I would love to speak with you. You can get in touch with me at mark [at] afterwire.com.au
I am currently doing some work with a charity who need a tiny bit of front-end work done where they need to develop a custom donate page (i.e. Stripe integration).
While this is only a fairly small job, I am currently trying to push them to do more in the future and they have indicated that they are actively looking for a developer they can work with in the future so I think the opportunity for on-going work is high.
Note: They are currently using Squarespace if that changes anything for anyone, but I figured it is worth mentioning upfront.
Feel free to contact me at mark [at] afterwire.com.au
