SEEKING WORK - Remote / New York City. Willing to travel.

If you're looking to build a fluid, native-feeling web app, I'm your guy. I've got oodles of experience designing and developing rich client-side web apps, including many large-scale JS applications with Backbone.js and other MV* frameworks (in the past, Zuck's demoed my work onstage at the F8 conference). While client-side web work is my expertise, I'm a solidly 'T-shaped' generalist -- I'm capable of handling pretty much anything that needs doing in order to launch a product, whether that means server-side or native iOS development, copywriting or analytics, or anything in between.

Past projects and contact info can be found at http://lazerwalker.com. Don't be a stranger -- I'm always happy to meet fellow HNers.

Buzzwords: HTML5, CSS3 + SASS, JavaScript (+jQuery), CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, Rails, Node.js

Is it kind of strange that given the developer "shortage" that we keep hearing about, all of the posts here have been seeking work? Maybe someone can explain that to me as I don't have ears on the ground in this industry so to speak.

I guess it probably has to do with the ratio of freelancers to potential clients reading HN. Of course, some readers might be both, but I bet it's a pretty steep ratio.

Probably more because this post has been made on a Saturday, bit silly really.

Seeking freelancer. New York City, USA. Remote work OK.

Need translators from English into other languages. Preferably your native, home language is that language. We have enough Spanish translators, but anything else we are looking. We have projects ready to go now in many languages, and have projects coming down the pipeline in the coming weeks/months for other languages.

A little bit of XML knowledge would be helpful, although nothing extensive is needed. It would put you ahead of others in your language.

Paying market per word rates. Some (not all) of the translations will be for FLOSS projects, so you may be getting paid to work on FLOSS projects in some instances.

Project size varies - some are a few dozen words, some are thousands of words.

SEEKING WORK - {USA | Caribbean} {American Citizen} {English/Spanish} {Remote Only}

You have a project. It needs to be done. You are a serious person. Wasting time is not fine with you. You want an engineer who will listen and understand what you need and want. What you are looking for is someone who does not see you as another client, but as a team member. I know your business has special requirements. I know hard things are. Shipping. Building products. Clients. My aim is to take away the pressure of delivering software on-time, and on-budget. Every project. No excuses. If you want someone who is serious about your business. Your clients. Your well-being. Your success. Then Send an email to orangethirty@nuuton.com You will not be disappointed.

About me.

Last month I shipped a complete MVP. My focus is on shipping and getting things done. I am a generalist with full-stack knowledge from back end to front end. Includes setting up/managing servers.

What I have worked with?

Languages include, but are not limited to: Python, PHP, Common Lisp, Ruby, Javascript, embedded C and SQL/NoSQL.

Frameworks:

Flask, Codeigniter, Slim, Symfony2, Rails, Jquery, Sinatra, Bootstrap, Ember.js, Django, etc.

What have I built?

Online payments (using Stripe integration), Content management systems, custom administrative software, e-commerce solutions, learning platforms, blogs, robots, and many more. I also work with Hardware. Will do arduino with no problems.

Right now I'm also developing Nuuton (nuuton.com), an information engine (with a search engine as the heart of the system).

Rates? Very affordable.

- I can do daily, hourly, weekly. Hourly requires a minimim of 10 hours. Hourly rate is $70/hour for engineering projects. Daily rate is $500, with a minimum of 3 days. Weekly rate is $2500.

I'm never overbooked, and am a full-time freelancer. Always available on Skype, email and/or telephone. I only work with choice clients.

Email: orangethirty@nuuton.com Skype: orange.thirty Telephone: email me for details.

Wait, I do offer other helpful services.

Do you need to finish or publish the documentation for your project? Don't waste your time trying to do it yourself. I can, and will do it for you. Currently have completed a technical documentation project. Working on another one as we speak. Nothing is too big or too small.

Rates are $50/hour with a minimum of 10 hours for this type of service. Documentation in English or Spanish. Will translate English documentation to Spanish for the same rates, too.

I'm also a copywriter focusing on the tech industry. My work has been featured on several startup websites discussed in HN. Rates are $500 per landing page. Maximum of 2000 words. You get ten different headlines for testing. I can sell your product with ease. Get in touch.

References available upon request.

P.S. Don't be afraid to get in touch. My inbox is always open.

I do not outsource work to agencies or sub-contractors.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now, and love building high-quality products (or at least try my best for it!). I have recently started freelancing after my stint as a single founder, and recently finished remote contract work for another HN member's startup.

I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)

I am open to a potential co-founder role as well, but as you know well, a lot of things need to fall in place for it. I guess it would be best if we work together on a short project first to see how good we are as a team.

Please see my profile for the contact & other relevant information. Just drop a line to say hello, it's always good to interact with fellow HN members!
