Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2025)

SEEKING WORK | Remote | Worldwide

Hi HN! I'm a full-stack developer with a strong frontend focus - 10+ years of experience building fast, clean, and scalable web apps.

On the frontend, I work with React, Vue, and Svelte. On the backend, I've shipped systems using Go, Python, and Node (Nest.js, Django, FastAPI, etc). I enjoy working on thoughtful product design and efficient APIs just as much as hacking on UI.

Lately I've been freelancing through ainurhq.cloud, doing both client projects and internal tools. Some recent work includes:

● jsDelivr: contributed engineering support and improvements

● Radiabase: contributed to a CRM-style lead and sales management platform

● UniDeck: a no-code, plug-and-play dashboard builder with built-in integrations. Built from the ground up with my team at AinurHQ

I'm currently looking for freelance/contract roles (or possibly full-time) - ideally on a modern product team where I can contribute across the stack.

Feel free to reach out if you're building something interesting:

Tech stack:

· Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Python

· Frontend: React, Vue, Svelte

· Backend: Nest.js, Express, Django, FastAPI, Gin

SEEKING CLIENTS Fractional/Freelance Product Management leader available

While I continue to build my AI-based mobile app, I am also taking on clients who need help with their Product team, being the first PM (fractionally), and advising teams. If you are interested in learning more, please visit my website at www.gregkoeka.com or find me on LinkedIn.

About the role: MasterSpaParts.com is the leading reseller of Master Spas replacement parts, headquartered in Wisconsin (Central Time). We need a Senior Magento 2 developer to take on complex projects, mentor two full‑time offshore developers, and help us clear out a backlog of improvements. This is a part‑time contract (10–20 hours per week) with flexible hours; you’ll coordinate regularly with the team in Central Time. We rarely use phone calls or video—clear, written communication is essential.

Responsibilities:

- Lead development and maintenance of our Magento 2.0 site, managing backend operations, security, stability, and performance. - Develop and implement new features and UX enhancements: improve shopping cart, checkout flows, product pages, and responsive/mobile design. - Implement integrations and troubleshoot third‑party tools: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Zonos shipping options, Cloudflare, Formstack, Google Maps, and other APIs. - Handle tasks that require logging into third‑party developer accounts (Apple Developer, Google Maps API), and manage Klaviyo email marketing integration and related campaigns. - Optimize site speed—ensure pages load in under two seconds—and work on SEO‑related improvements. - Set up and maintain ancillary services such as Answerbase Q&A widgets, live chat integrations, and other customer‑facing features. - Mentor and coordinate a team of two Magento developers in India. Translate ambiguous requirements into clear tasks, enforce prioritization based on business impact, and ensure timely completion. - Communicate regularly with the project manager and owner. Provide status updates, document solutions, and raise clarifying questions to prevent rework.

Required qualifications: - 5+ years of Magento development with deep expertise in Magento 2, including custom modules, theme development, and complex integrations. - Strong PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript skills, plus experience implementing and optimizing third‑party services like payment gateways, Klaviyo, and live chat tools. - Proven track record optimizing page speed and performance—comfortably get Magento pages to load in under two seconds. - Demonstrated ability to lead or mentor other developers, prioritize tasks, and deliver projects independently. Remote work demands deliberate, transparent communication; evaluate candidates’ written clarity in resumes and emails. - Proactive problem‑solver comfortable with asynchronous work—successful candidates take action without waiting for step‑by‑step instructions, default to problem‑solving, and manage their own schedule. - Comfortable working as a contractor (1099), with a commitment of roughly 10–20 hours weekly.

How to apply: Send an email to hiring [at] mikearnesen {dot} com explaining why you’re a good fit for this contract role, along with links to Magento 2 projects you’ve led. We’ll ask shortlisted candidates a few written questions to assess communication style and then schedule an interview. Agencies will not be considered.
