AngularJS AND Fantasy Football? This is like a dream come true.

I'm an engineer at a company in Palo Alto and I am looking for work to keep me busy during my free time. If you need your MVP built (and are willing to pay, of course) then I'd lik…

How did you pick your specialty? I've toyed with the idea of freelancing, but I have no idea what my niche would be. I don't have any professional experience, so I suppose that mak…
