#42SEEKING WORK - Remote (Sweden based, travel negotiable)
I can help you setting up localization of your website, product or service and/or optimize your existing workflows. Recently I went part-time on my day job and starting up my own freelancing / consulting company, bringing my knowledge and experience from the translation industry into the start-up world which I'm following and have been interested in for years. I am also interested using my skills solving other problems you may have.
I have over 6 years of experience working in the translation industry doing wearing many hats: I am a Developer (.NET, Ruby, Javascript etc.), a System Administrator (mostly *nix but also some Windows experience), a Language Engineer, occasionally a Project Manager. But more than anything, I'm a generalist: I enjoy solving problems using whatever is appropriate for the task.
Some of my random accomplishments and pet projects are:
- Optimized a large Rails 3 site (http://www.rukkola.hu) for performance, with server-side tweaks and code-level changes (caching, queries etc.). Also created a bookmarklet for the site (https://github.com/KTamas/rukkola_hacks) that has now been shut down because it's features has been integrated into the website.
- Upgrading a Rails 0.14 application to 2.3 (https://github.com/ktamas/yubnub)
- Setting up a custom email server (Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, custom Ruby scripts etc.)
- Operating a planet-line aggregator service (http://sharewood.hu) to act as a hub for content-sharing blogs (replacing the now-defunct Google Reader's sharing feature). A complete rewrite of an old aggregator written in Rails (https://github.com/KTamas/sharewood.hu)
You can also check out the rest of my github profile for some other things I've tackled in the past.

#43SEEKING WORK - Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis or Remote.
We're a team of experienced Mobile and Rails developers that specialize in building enterprise-level solutions. We're not just coders for hire - we like to work with companies through a project's full lifecycle: Requirements, UX Planing, Design, Development and Deployment.
Our current projects include marketing tools for a 10 billion dollar Pharmaceutical giant, a Top-50 Social Networking app, a Top-3 (Netherlands) Productivity app, specialized applications for people who are visually impaired, and multiple other webapps and mobile applications.
We're based in Dayton, Ohio and the bulk of our clients are (by design) located in the cities at the top, but we have worked remotely with companies as far West as Los Angeles and as far East as London. Get in touch and we can talk more about the experience and expertise that we can bring to your project. Shoot me an email at Jon at Z-prototype.com or feel free to Skype me at j.on.schneider.

#44SEEKING WORK - NYC - Remote is fine with me.
Hello, I'm an iOS Developer looking to take on some extra work. I'm only looking for about 20 hours per week so I prefer smaller projects, MVPs, or POCs.
I'm a self-starter and have experience across the board: graphics, APIs, custom UI elements, etc. You name it. I also dabble in UI design if you're starting from scratch.
Email is in my profile; get in touch!

#45SEEKING WORK - Remote or Toronto
I am a human/machine interface designer && developer. My work consists of "from scratch" UX and interface design, from the napkin to nginx.
I have considerable experience with Ruby and Javascript, years of experience with Rails, and extensive knowledge of client-side MVC. I've made contributions to Ember.js, and have written multiple 10k+ LOC apps - starting with 0.9 up to the latest 1.0 RC 6.1 (one was recently featured on Venture Beat: http://venturebeat.com/2013/07/22/uniiverse-releases-direct-...). I am acutely aware of the challenges/strategies associated with migrating server side architecture into the browser, leaning down views, and fattening up controllers.
I am the author of an open source project called Quantify (https://github.com/jdjkelly/quantify) - a Rails API to track "quantified self" data from every manufacturer willing to give it up. My work here was featured on The Verge alongside a similar project by the founder of Foursquare (http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/4/4392996/fitness-tracker-dat...)
Backend: Ruby, Rails, Mongo, Postgres, Sinatra, Node.js
Frontend: Javascript, Coffeescript, Sass, Ember.js, Backbone.js, Angular.js, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3
Other tools in the box: Git, Zsh
Design: Pencils, pens, paper, Photoshop

#48SEEKING WORK - Remote or SF Bay Area
New indie game developer with experience using Unity 3D (C#). Open to other engines / libraries. Would love to work on a project with another indie dev, particularly someone with strong game design or art skills. We'd be a good fit! I have a borrowed nostalgia for 8- and 16-bit era games :)
Seeking contracting work as well.
