SEEKING WORK | Remote only, based in Europe

I do electronics, end to end (design from idea, part selection, layout, prototyping, testing, enclosure design). Lately I've been working mainly on adapting existing designs to the new reality of part shortages. If you have a device that you can't produce due to part shortages I might be able to help you redesign it for the current availability situation. Of course I'm also more than happy to help with new devices.

I won't work on weapons, advertising, cryptocurrencies or automotive (for motivation on the latter, see my analysis on the reason for the component crisis here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26931498 )

SEEKING WORK | UK / BERLIN | Remote Only

Recent Tech: NodeJS / Typescript / React / AWS / Postgres / Redis / MQTT / Terraform / realtime pubsub

Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/yasserfadl

I'm a full-stack developer and have worked on multiple domains for the last ten years, including:

- fintech (FX / FI and Structured Products) - realtime (co-founded a startup around a realtime server called deepstream.io) - IoT - Elderly care / Matching platforms (marta.de)

Recently (2021) have spent my time between my own product enjamon.com (almost at launch stage), working part-time for marta.de where I built their backend office, matching algorithm and two client facing apps in 5 languages (as the sole developer + intern) and some open-source projects around deployment strategies and postgres/typescript node interfaces (https://github.com/vramework/schemats / https://vramework.io/).

Currently looking for a job where I can work part-time (20 hours a week) or for on-demand tasks (like optimising APIs, CI pipelines, AWS infrastructure / ReactJS Apps / integrating realtime / etc).

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with over a decade of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

I've organised a couple of jobs through HN now; it's been a good way to find interesting projects, and my clients have been pleased with the work. One said: "Thank you! I've played with it a bit and it looks very impressive! Way better than what I imagined this project could be."

React Native is a particular interest at the moment, as it suits my polyglot programming skills and I can always dive into native code to understand and fix issues if needed.

I've also worked on a very wide variety of web-based projects, so I will be able to hit the ground running on those. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.

I am productive in every commercial programming language I've tried. In the last 5 years I've done commercial projects in (at least):

Typescript/Javascript (React Native, browser, and Node.js), Ruby, Java, C#, and Python. Last year, I completed 23 days of Advent of Code in Rust.

I'm friendly and easy-going. I can talk to customers and other stakeholders, and help work out what we should be building, as well as building it. I enjoy working with other developers and helping the team learn. I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

SEEKING WORK - Remote US - DevOps

In the past, I've:

- Saved a company $500k a year in CI infrastructure costs.

- Worked with several hundred engineer organizations to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.

- Introduced configuration as code and GitOps best practices to teams.

- Built dynamic review environments triggered on a pull request.

I'm available to:

- Reduce the costs of your CI infrastructure so that you can free up your infrastructure budget.

- Help you migrate from Jenkins to a more modern CI platform, like GitHub Actions, to reduce operational overhead and iterate faster.

- Help your team evaluate emerging technologies and processes. CircleCI or GitHub Actions? Kubernetes or Nomad? GitOps or ChatOps? How do you know what's likely going to be a fad and what's not? I can help your team avoid costly mistakes when adopting new tools and processes.

- Scale your DevOps processes. Should your company adopt full-stack teams that own the entire delivery pipeline, or should a specialized team of internal experts own the pipelines? These are the questions I can help you answer so that you can decide on the right trade-offs that make sense for your company as it scales to avoid future expensive migrations.

- Do implementation work. Maybe you're a small team that doesn't have enough DevOps resources. I can augment your team, dive in, and start delivering fast. I'm well-versed in terraform, Kubernetes, docker, etc. I can help you build repeatable pipelines, documentation and provide a smooth hand-off to your internal team.

- Need something else? Please don't hesitate to reach out.

SEEKING WORK | Web Scraping, Web Data Collection, Data-as-a-Service (at scale) | Remote

- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hafizhamid/

- Website: https://www.crawlnow.com/

- Email: hamid@crawlnow.com

I can source publicly available data from anywhere on the web - any # of websites, at any scale; and provide it as regular daily/weekly feeds. Fully-managed and hosted solution, it will save you time and money you'll spend building/maintaining the tech in-house.

I said goodbye to my big tech job to start a business in the data collection space. For the past 14 years, I worked as a full-time software engineer/architect/engineering manager at companies like Lyft, Microsoft and Salesforce.

I also provide consulting services at $300/hour to startups and enterprise companies. You can take advantage of my expertise in building internet-scale applications and distributed systems. I built web crawlers & data pipelines for bing.com for 5 years and I was the first/founding engineer on Lyft's data infrastructure team.
