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

Looking for a freelancer in the SF Bay Area for an iOS app project. This is a paid job, but I'm looking for someone who is open to partnering with me on future projects.

I'm also looking for Python or Ruby developers for a project I'd like to start in 2013.

I have a long track record of successful web projects. Currently the "poster child" for Google Adsense (picture of me on their home page: http://www.google.com/adsense

Please get in touch at: gregg@realcartips.com

I'm a web designer turned Django programmer, but web design is my strength and I'm mainly looking for design/HTML/CSS/JS projects.

My Consultancy: http://treehousemobile.net

- Devops / Developer minded SysAdmin: this is a very important role, PUPPET, Chef, AWS, Linux, LXC, OpenVZ. Xen, VMWare, you should just have this immense desire to automate and simplify everything, and be a product person, plan, implement and ship - not a maintainer that lives in their cave until things crash, and apply one off server tweaks.

- Frontend Developer: HTML, CSS, Coffeescript - Familiarity with Node/Ruby/Mongo/Mysql, cool github projects is a plus, have to have your own website when we click your link, it should make us want to hire you.

- Backend Developer: Go, Node,Python,Ruby,Coffeescript, MongoDB, RabbitMQ are the things we use. More you know these, the better. If you miss some, don't worry, if you have a strong OOP background, and designing/working on large scale apps is your thing, just drop me an email.

We're open for remote, part time or full time in San Francisco. Only thing we don't want is that you have multiple clients. You can be a student or very experienced individual, and work for Koding 20 hours a week, or work a day or two. You just shouldn't be managing multiple clients and not show up for Koding because your other client had emergency. We want Koding to be the only thing you think about, when you're not working, when you go to sleep, when you wake up.

At this stage we're more willing to have VERY experienced developers, and we're very generous with rates. Our current freelancers have stocks in the company, we don't favor in house developers (alright, maybe just a little :)). Some of our freelancers make more than those are in the office. Your location has no significance to us, just your work. If your work is awesome, your compensation is equally awesome.

This summarizes the type of person we want, (my contact information is here) http://blog.koding.com/2012/06/we-want-to-date-not-hire/

I also want you to try Koding, for that please drop me a note, I will send you an invite.

And this is what we expect from our freelancers, http://blog.koding.com/2012/08/freelance-developers-you-are-...

Hope to meet soon!

  I get shit done.
  
  
  - 5 years Ruby on Rails.
  
  - 13 years of engineering.
  
  
  Looking for long-term or short-term Rails consulting work.  
  I love working on-site and work just as well remotely.
  
  
  I'm a friendly guy with good communication skills.
  
  
  I'm looking for projects solving real problems. My belief
  is that the product (features) reach customers ASAP and     
  that's what ultimately matters. Testing is good, but not    
  the end-all be-all. Iterate on what works and make it 
  better.
  
  
  I'm tapped into the community and can draw many resources
  into projects as needed. Marketing, advertising, SEO, 
  design, UX, more programming and even funding.
  
  
  You name it, I can find it for you.
  
  
  Have built new, and worked on existing, Rails applications 
  including (but not limited to) a permission based  
  advertising platform, an up-sell marketing platform, a 
  social media platform and most recently one of the largest 
  e-commerce flash sales sites.
  
  
  - I get shit done.
  
  - I'm not cheap.
  
  - I don't want equity.
  
  
  Please look for your bargain basement engineering needs 
  somewhere else =)
  
  Contact me, below, to have your problems solved.
      
  Cheers!
