This is a little off topic, but here goes. Shameless self promotion incoming.

I'm working on a startup called http://APIXchange.co

Think 99 designs but for API integration. Basically, freelancers with experience with various APIs do integration for people wanting to use specific technologies.

Feel free to shoot me any questions you may have. apixchange@gmail.com

SEEKING WORK: Based in UK (outside London), prefer remote.

I am looking for web scraping projects, however I would also consider others which involve mathematics, machine learning, general hacking or Perl scripting and website building or testing. I have expertise in Perl, and basic knowledge of all the others: HTML, Javascript, Python, Matlab, Rails, C, iOS, databases.

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area - Remote OK, travel negotiable

Let's face it. All of this shiny "Web 2.0" stuff has to run on top of some unglamorous plumbing. Who creates that plumbing and keeps it running? People like me.

Clusters? Device drivers? Filesystems? Build tools for your source code? That's the sort of stuff I do.

https://rachelbythebay.com/contact/

Examples of things I've created:

http://scanner.rachelbythebay.com/ - Software Defined Radio used to monitor an entire trunked system in parallel, with over 1 million calls logged and randomly accessible. Includes bonus "social layer" where people can tag interesting calls to make them easier for others to find quickly.

http://rachelbythebay.com/bb/ - C++ depot build tool. Why specify dependencies twice? #include should be all you need. Can you build a large project without writing rules in some build language (Makefile and friends)? I can. Can you add new files to your depot without having to go back to that build language to teach it about them? Yep, I can do that too.

https://github.com/rachelbythebay/protolog - Tired of parsing Apache logs in ASCII? Keep them in a strong binary format and your life gets much easier.

http://fred.rachelbythebay.com/ - I got tired of Google Reader way back in 2011 and wrote a replacement which just works and stays out of my way. Now, when they pull the plug in July, I'll be ready.

https://rachelbythebay.com/edu/ - Streaming high-bitrate video just to be able to read someone's "screencast" is just painful. Text should be text. I use that philosophy to provide lessons for those looking to build things with C++.

I also slice through weird "it doesn't work" problems, sometimes for things I've never even seen before. Got some legacy system which doesn't want to play nice any more? Shoot me a message: https://rachelbythebay.com/contact/

UX freelancer seeking work. San Francisco Bay Area, remote is fine. I've been a UX director for years, now freelancing primarily with startups as I get the experience to start my own. My portfolio can be found at http://jaysonelliot.com/about jayson.elliot@gmail.com

Hey, I hope you don't mind me giving you some feedback on your portfolio site: 1. Illustrator does this weird thing with curved paths where the the auto-artboard-shrinker thing crops the curves at the borders, so the curved letters in your logotype are getting cut off. You have to go in and manually resize the crop area to account for that. 2. Your actual work is fantastic, but your presentation is really, really bad…

I think that's great feedback. I'm definitely suffering from the "cobbler's children go barefoot" syndrome. I should set aside a few days to work on my own site.

If you have any other thoughts, please send me an email. I'm always looking for constructive criticism, especially as I'm leaving the world of agency work and trying to establish myself in a product-driven world.

SEEKING WORK - Chicago - Remote OK

Two friends and I have started a software development consultancy. I still don't know if the freelancer thread is an acceptable place to advertise, but our clients have all been non-tech organizations and I would like to do more work with the HN crowd (it was always a blast in my solo days), which is why I'm posting here.

We are two programmers and a designer primarily doing web development (with a focus on content/marketing and single-page apps), but we have some iOS skill between us and wouldn't be opposed to putting it to use.

We don't have a website up yet (too busy working), but you can email me at mvz@mvz.so to chat.
