SEEKING WORK - Remote & Mumbai, India.

We are a team of 2 developers and looking to build a portfolio of mobile apps on Android and IOS. Although we are relatively new to mobile app development we are experienced developers on (node.js, express/sails js), (C++, yacc, flex), Frontend Programming using angular js. Since we are looking to build a portfolio, we will do your Android or IOS app at a fixed price of USD 2000 (per platform) for a reasonably sized app. You will get a native app - Swift or Obj-C on IOS and of course, Java on Android (using fragments).

We are also comfortable with Backend development using node.js - so we will have no trouble doing any backend api integration in either IOS or Android.

Since "Reasonable Sized App" seems a little vague, it should be something you think can be finished in 15 days to a month. We will evaluate the app and confirm this to you. Ideally, this should be an app you do not have a hard deadline on and it would be good if you have design specs.

We are looking to take 1 or 2 projects at this price.

SEEKING WORK

    Location: SF
    Remote: Possible (let's talk!)
    Willing to relocate: maybe
    Technologies: C/C++, Python, embedded, systems
    programming, data science, GCC/G++/CMAKE, java, ruby, django, cassandra, python, machine learning
    android, django
    Resume: http://goo.gl/ZKjLIn
Looking to move into modern systems programming for internet scale systems. I've done a lot of sustaining work in the past but I want to write more novel code. Over the years, I've acquired a fair number of skills that I'd like to apply.

I have a couple of personal projects I've worked on, such as an android app (java) for a non-profit that has an accompanying backend in django (python). I've another C++ project that is a key value store with a REST API. There's also my reddit AMA FAQ creation software. That one's done in python. It vectorizes questions and clusters them based on the resulting representation; the result is that similar questions get grouped together so more people can get answers to their questions.

Then there's my Ruby/Grape activity stream server. It creates feeds based on whatever objects you create in the system. I wanted to learn Ruby so this is the project I've started to do just that!

I'm also open to non-conventional software jobs, like sustaining, or anything you have in mind.
