SEEKING WORK - Remote preferred, based in Denver, CO; US citizen, fwiw.

Ops and Systems/Network Administration. You write the code, I make sure everyone that you want to can load it (and no one else).

Heavy/primary OS Linux user since the late 90's and working on the admin end (now trendily "devops") since the early 00's. Mostly have worked with small and mid-size businesses. Do you prefer Debian or RedHat based distros, or something else entirely? Are you hosting on self-assembled server racks? dedicated colo boxes? AWS slices? Do you want a slick Apache setup, or prefer nginx, or want some feedback deciding on how you want it all set up -- or just want someone to take all those worries off your hands and let you focus on your own strengths? Let's chat.

Also familiar with Ruby/Rails, HTML, CSS3 and some popular frameworks, shell scripting, MySQL, and am generally a quick study. I'm interested in moving more toward the dev end of the spectrum, so blended projects are especially welcome.

Oh, and I actually enjoy writing thorough documentation. Twisted, eh?

SEEKING WORK - Remote (preferred) or Portland, Maine

Experienced developer available for work on new projects. Some of my recent projects have included web scraping/data processing, NLP/sentiment analysis, and custom video compositing. I’m particularly passionate about testing and a stickler for details; there's few things I like better than finding ways to break things.

Keywords: Python, Ruby, Go, JS, PHP, QA, Selenium, django-webtest, factory-boy, CasperJS, mitmproxy, nltk, scrapy

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote OK - irc required

BSD, ZFS, OpenSSH, PAM: Distributed, Encrypted Open Source Data Sync, Share, & Storage with Bitcoin Message Signing

Project: http://electrum.org - Lightweight Bitcoin thin client, as advocated for by Satoshi Nakamoto [1]

Developed by Dr. Thomas Voegtlin, French PhD neuroscientist, Electrum is an exceptionally simple Bitcoin wallet written in Python, that protects you from losing your Bitcoins due to backup mistakes or computer failure. Electrum automatically generates with each newly created wallet a list of twelve common words from English poetry, which Thomas hand-picked specifically to aid in memorization and long-term recall.

You must be willing to make extensive use of IRC for communication, and you should probably at least possess a passing interest in Bitcoin, if you want to take on this project.

I'm looking for a systems engineer who can think about problems creatively. I've been agonizing over how to appropriately handle data sync, share, and storage. I've considered everything from Tahoe-LAFS to BitTorrent, from a simple Flask API to Git. I'm looking for the simplest possible solution. If this sounds even slightly interesting please email me at:

echo YW5keUBzaWVycmEzZC5jb20K | base64 -d

or ping me on #electrum (Freenode). I'm atweiden.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

Full-stack web developer with sharp marketing skills.

I can help with figuring out how to make more money out of your application (B2B SaaS apps are where I have the most experience).

By understanding who your customers are and what they're looking for, I can help create a better experience for them (examples: fixing application hot spots, adding live feedback chat at the right spot, customer satisfaction surveys, analyzing and reducing churn rate...)

Do you have poor signup rates? Low activation or retention metrics? Do you think you could make more money out of your current application?

I have 8 years of experience as a software developer (Python/Django/Javascript), and I've worked both on my own products and for other startups.

I can also help with your MVP, help you come up with the right questions, and developing the right product.
