SEEKING WORK - REMOTE (based out of Dallas, TX)

I am looking for companies that would like to virtualize their development environment using Vagrant and Puppet.

I have a FOSS[0] that attempts to create customized solutions, but by its nature it can never be as custom-tailored to each individual team's needs.

What I can do for you:

If your team requires a more standardized development environment using virtual machines to closely mimic your production server, I can help!

I can create custom-tailored, shareable environments that will match your production server(s) as closely as possible so you can get rid of the "It works on my machine" excuse.

My Skype is jtreminio, email jtreminio@gmail.com, github.com/jtreminio, github.com/puphpet

Let's talk!

SEEKING STARTUP WORK - Remote or the Netherlands

Me: Capable, experienced remote fullstack developer. Worked for a successful SV startup before, currently on a long term contract in the NL ending in June. I have cofounded and shipped products solo. Portfolio: http://dave78.com LinkedIn: http://nl.linkedin.com/in/daveclayton78

You: A startup building a product with meaningful impact on the world. I know that's vague, so examples of companies I've talked with: a startup wanting to transform aerospace logistics; a renewable energy company. I'd be interested in working freelance for you, perhaps moving to permanent if we're a good fit. davedx@gmail.com if you're interested in talking.

SEEKING WORK - NYC or Remote

I want to help you get more users/customers from your traffic at a lower cost of acquisition. I do this by analyzing your conversion funnel and then optimizing it with tactics like A/B testing, automated emails, collecting feedback, etc. Not tracking your funnel? I can help with that too.

I don't just give drive-by advice. I write code, copywrite, setup A/B tests, setup email lists, configure Analytics, ... whatever it takes.

More info, case studies, and testimonials here: http://www.gkogan.co

Contact me directly at greg[at]gkogan[dot]co, or call me at +1 917 575 9535.

SEEKING WORK - remote, London UK (for now)

I'm a full-stack web developer who mostly uses Ruby/Rails, JavaScript, Python, and PHP. I'm available from the end of June, so I'm interested in hearing from people who are planning for Q3. I live in London, but am moving abroad soon. This means I'd be available in your office for a couple of weeks before switching to remote work.

I spent 4 years at Last.fm developing software used by millions of people, worked at a similar scale at Sun Microsystems, have helped small teams fix their legacy codebase to escape their technical debt, and mentored developers & businesses. I particularly like small teams/startups, and like shaping the product/business direction too.

You can find out more about me at http://alexpounds.com/cv . I'd like to hear from people with firm plans as well as people interested in exploring options.

SEEKING FREELANCERS: DESIGN / FRONTEND

Remote work.

We're nearing the launch of Webhook.com, a backendless CMS targeted at designers, front-end developers and anyone who wants an easy to use, easy to deploy CMS system.

We'd like to get a couple prebuilt themes out for when we launch in late June. Themes can be for anything, not just blogs. You must be able to code your own designs in CSS/HTML. We use Swig JS (similar to Django) for our templating language. Your work will be released open-source and available free to anyone who wants to use it.

Please check over our site and documentation, then send an email to dave@webhook.com if you're interested.

We're also in the middle of a successful Kickstarter.
