Location: currently in midwest USA but looking to relocate

Remote: open to remote, but would prefer relocation

Willing to relocate: Yes, looking in Portland, OR, Seattle, Vancouver or anywhere else in the PNW

Technologies: ASP.NET C#, SQL Server, Sitecore CMS, PHP, Perch CMS, CSS3, HTML5, AngularJS, currently teaching myself Python

Resume: Will provide upon request

Email: Will provide upon request

I have a Bachelors in Computer Information Systems and have been a web developer for just over 5 years. Started my career working on a group of websites used for educational purposes that was required to be Section 508 and WCAG accessible. I found this to be my most rewarding work. After that I started my current job that I have been at for 4 years. I helped grow our internally managed websites from 1 to over 30, including ecommerce on half of them. I have built and maintained internal sites to provide solutions for multiple divisions in our company.

I am looking for a position at a diverse company that will allow me to continue learning and expanding my skillset. I thrive in an environment where I am able to collaborate with others.

Location: Green Bay, WI

Remote: I'd consider it

Willing to relocate: Yes, to anywhere in the U.K. (nearer to Manchester the better)

Technologies: C# (.NET), SQL, javascript (jQuery some)

Resume: reecesession.com/resume

Email: reecehebel@yahoo.com

Most of the work I do is in C# but I am trying to learn Ruby on Rails on my own. I enjoy javascript and regex, though I could be better on the latter. I have done a bit of console and windows apps.

I realize it's not a lot to go on and the resume gives the in depth. Send an email if anything sounds like a fit or you have questions.

  Location: Philadelphia, PA
  Remote: open to remote work
  Willing to relocate: sure!
  Technologies: Any web technologies but really into JS frameworks right now 
  (node for backend and angular for front-end are my favorites)
  Resume: http://tomdehart.com/projects/ or https://github.com/tdehart - 
  can provide a formal resume if you want
  Email: tdehart [at] gmail [dot] com
Have a bachelor's in CS and spent a few years at grad school studying human-computer interaction. Went into the industry instead of graduating but got bored after a year of the 9-5. Been freelancing the past 6 months but I'm now looking for something more permanent again. Hopefully smaller and more interesting! I really love front-end development these days but I'm pretty familiar with the full stack. Living in the Philly area at the moment but willing to relocate pretty much anywhere.

I specialized heavily in the best tools I could find (Haskell/C/Unix/git), but I'm having a hard time finding a place for those skills in the industry.

Location: San Francisco, CA

Remote: Happily!

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Clojure [web stack], Python [Django, Flask, scripting], Bash, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Unix/Linux systems. Comfortable / curious about Golang, Ruby.

Resume: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/w-david-jarvis/b/aa6/37/

Email: venantius@gmail.com

- Personal: http://venanti.us

Background:

I started as an economist, then I became a data scientist, and now I'm a software engineer. My last job was at a small start-up and involved writing various backend integrations (Slack, SalesForce...) for a Clojure web app of significant size, tweaking the frontend from time to time, writing the odd blog post (http://blog.circleci.com/kindness-is-underrated/), helping manage the hiring pipeline, working on community/customer relations, and serving as a sounding board for strategic concepts for one of the founders.

I'd love to keep working in Clojure if I can, but in general I'd be happy to work anywhere with a small team that's doing interesting work and is comprised of nice people.

I'm available for both full-time and contract work.
