Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2022)

SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract, Remote, Tennessee, U.S. (Central Time)

I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer and UI designer. I run https://cheatcode.co, working primarily with my own framework, Joystick (https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick), as well as React.js, GraphQL, and Node.js (open to others as well).

Looking for short-term freelance and contract opportunities (long-term is possible, too, if the timing makes sense). Best suited for working with small teams—startups/standalone or embedded in bigger co's—and individuals looking to ship:

- Full-stack web apps (internal or customer-facing).

- UI implementation (HTML, CSS, any JS framework)

- Command line tools

- REST APIs (private and public) -- can do GraphQL APIs on request

- Technical documentation

- Infrastructure/deployment setup (Bare metal, Docker/k8s, Lambda)

My working style:

- Communication-heavy. I prefer clients/projects that don't shy away from investing in getting everything on the table up front and keeping communication tight throughout a project. 1-on-1 via Zoom/Discord preferred for clarity/avoiding miscommunication.

- Detail-oriented. If it needs (or you want it) to be done well, I'm your guy.

- Design-focused. I put an emphasis on UX (or DX if the project is for devs) and ensuring that what gets shipped is most likely to generate a ROI for you/your team.

SEEKING FREELANCER / (I'm in UTC+1) / remote / Help with adding projects to https://kitspace.org

Kitspace is a place to share ready to order open hardware electronics projects. You can order the the circuit board and all components for a project with just a few clicks. I’m seeking a someone to help improve the documentation of projects by asking creators whether they would like to mirror it to Kitspace.

The way to do this is to send Github pull-requests to projects (some examples: https://github.com/Ottercast/OtterCastAudioV2/pull/8, https://github.com/gregdavill/d20-hardware/pull/2 and https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover/pull/180). As you can see in the examples it requires clear communication and some familiarity with electronics parts and making bills of materials. Most importantly it requires a mindset to try and help and improve the project in question through documentation rather than badgering people to add it to the site. Familiarity with Git, Github and at least one electronics CAD software (KiCad, Eagle etc.) is also helpful.

Naturally this gig is fully remote and the number of hours and length of contract you would like to commit to is up to you. Time zone is not dictated either, though some overlap with UTC+1, for the occasional meeting, would be ideal.

This is a fully open source project and does not turn a profit hence the budget is limited. I’m looking for people that can accept a rate of USD $20 an hour.

Please send applications, including a CV, via email to freelancer-2022@kitspace.mozmail.com . If you have any questions feel free to ask on this forum below or via email or private message.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote

I have over 20 years’ experience building software, specialising in:

• Technical applications (mathematical, scientific, engineering)

• Software for hardware (embedded, IoT, lab equipment)

• Interesting presentation (custom UIs, mocap animations, data viz)

My target market is start-ups/scale-ups/SMEs needing immediate help with either hands-on development work or strategic advice, technical design, etc.

For small to medium applications — such as an MVP for a startup, a UI for a hardware product, or implementing mathematical models and visualisations for researchers — I can offer a fully outsourced development service if required.

I can also join an existing team temporarily to give a short-term boost, perhaps helping with a challenging project or co-ordinating a larger initiative across teams. This can include a training/mentoring element if you need to upskill quickly.

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React for UI work) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more mathematical elements. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.
