Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2012)

SEEKING WORK (USA|Remote|Puerto Rico) [Will travel] [American Citizen]

I ship software.

Engineer with three years of professional experience building and shipping software is currently accepting work offers.

Some engineers might focus on other things, but my focus is on getting your software ready as quickly as possible. Why? Because your business depends on it. Any day that you lose with a slow engineer is a day that you don't profit.

My rates are affordable. Other engineers will charge between $400 to $700 per day. Not me. I will only charge you $200 a day. Why are my rates so low? Because I don't have any overhead, and pass the savings on to you. Have a long term project? Let's talk. We can work something out.

Do I have a proven track record? Yes. In fact, I'm releasing my first free open source application in the coming weeks. If you so desire, I will send you an exclusive sample of the application. Just send me an email. No strings attached. I will not spam you. Also have another two more free open source apps coming up soon.

Best of all, I'm a generalist. Be it PHP, Python, Codeigniter, Flask , MySQL, Jquery, HTML/CSS, Linux, .NET, Windows, I can deliver anything you want. Need a purchasing application to control your costs? I can build it. Need an application to A/B test your marketing? That too. Need an API to integrate your services? I will build it for you. I am also fluent in English and Spanish. Si eres una empresa que busca un ingeniero tambien puedes contactarme. No importa el lugar.

All of this, plus the fact that I'm an older, and wiser engineer. I will not play around with your project in order to try out some new technology. I only use proven and reliable methods. Agile and TDD is welcome.

But wait. This all may sound too good to be true. Fine. Go ahead. Send me an email. Let's talk about your needs. Find out for yourself if I am the real deal. You want to interview me with some technical questions? That is great. I love technical interviews. They allow me to show you how good I am.

You can contact me at any time through my email address. It is listed in my profile. I am also available on Skype.

PS. Be sure to contact me ASAP, because last time I posted an ad on HN, I had two work offers on the first day. Be the first in line to hire me.

PPS. I am also available for long-term employment if the project is interesting enough.

If you contact me and mention this ad, I will give you a free one hour consultation. No need to pay any consulting fees (a $100 value). Just mention the ad, and we can schedule a consultation. There you can tell me all of your needs and wants, and I can give you some great ideas on how to acquire them. This is a $100 value free as a gift from me to you. Hurry, because I can only schedule a small and exclusive amount of free consultations.
