SEEKING WORK (NYC or remote)

I'm an NYC-based full-stack hacker with 5 years experience from start-ups to Google.

My specialty is in backends, building websites, and developer tools (testing, internal tools, continuous integration, you name it). I also love consulting on existing projects if you need an informed perspective. But you know how it is -- in the end, I do whatever needs doing.

Currently, since I work on the side, I'm seeking projects on the order of 10 hours/week or less.

To sum up, I build high-quality solutions and I care most about communication, craft, and professionalism.

Java, Python, PHP, Hadoop, Scheme, HTML and CSS, testing and build systems, big data, tools, robustness, and problem-solving.

SEEKING FREELANCER - DESIGNER - Boise, Idaho. Remote work is fine. I'm a designer and author who now creates training courses on design. I’m hiring a freelance designer to help create video tutorials on Photoshop and design for a new course. To apply, plan a design design tutorial (with a sample PSD to work from) to be recorded by someone else. It should teach a specific design concept or Photoshop technique and incl…

Slightly off topic but would the video training site have content on writing/authoring? If so, I can't wait.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Its a pity you are only looking for US based devs. Will that change anytime?

Not sure when it changes, but the usual explanation (by Americans themselves) of this US-only remote thing is that they afraid of dealing with the people who are not easily suable.

In our case, the explanation is even simpler. Most of our work is for local devs, where the clients prefer to be able to meet the freelancer face-to-face occasionally. Even for a project where most of the work will be done remotely, kick-off meetings and in-person collaboration is still valuable.

SEEKING WORK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Croissant is a web application development consultancy. We are a small team that mainly works in creating new software and applications for individuals wanting to turn their idea into a reality, but do not yet wish to hire full-time developers to do so. Our forte lies in creating beautifully designed minimum viable products, landing pages and first iteration/version 1 applications.

We will work closely with you, and converse about your ideas and vision from day one. You will be actively involved throughout the whole creation process.

We currently have openings in our schedule for new clients. Get in touch with us and let's see if we're both a good fit for each other.

hello@croissant.io http://www.croissant.io

My apologies for the incomplete website. Our team started by doing this part-time and on the side. We are now all transitioning into growing Croissant full-time.

Hope to hear from you soon! :)

No, this would be on design. My book Authority already covers that topic pretty well.

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area - Remote or Local - Long or Short Term Projects

I'm an expert at creating APIs and building client applications (browser-based and mobile apps) powered by APIs.

API Development - I've designed, built, and scaled APIs for many different application profiles, from large complex data models, event subscription architecture, high transaction volume (25K requests/second), to simple REST APIs. I have a good amount of experience analyzing data models and use cases to determine API structure, architecture, and recommended implementation. I know the ins and outs of REST vs RPC, JSON vs XML, and hypermedia vs traditional. I've implemented APIs using Rails, Node.js, and Java platforms. Bottom line - if you need an API developed, I can take you through the process from start to finish.

Single-Page JS App Development - I've led development on multiple single-page JavaScript apps in both desktop and mobile environments. I have significant JavaScript experience and have built full applications from scratch using Backbone.js, Ember.js, and AngularJS.

Mobile App Development - I've deployed multiple apps across iOS and Android platforms for phones and tablets. I'm experienced in both native (iOS, Android) and mobile cross-platform HTML (Sencha Touch, JQuery Mobile) development.

Traditional Web Development - While I've spent most of my time lately working on APIs and API-driven apps, I also have ten years of experience doing traditional server-side web development. If you need a Rails or Java generalist to build a product, augment your team or maintain existing code, get in touch!
