Meta: Someone downvoted 30+ posts on here, all in a few minutes. That's not really how downvoting is supposed to work. If people are submitting spammy or offtopic freelancer posts, then downvote them, or if a person has a really awesome freelance post, then upvote them, but don't game the system and make everyone's posts grey.

Seriously, what kind of person does that. If Dang has access to the downvoters name, maybe he should have his downvote permissions revoked.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based in SW Ontario, Canada

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at turning research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.).

Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and require an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

Technical keywords: C# (WPF, WinForms), C++ (QT), Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, OpenCL, etc.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a full-time freelancer who's been fully booked for the last couple of years, but, due to recent changes in my life, I am currently available for up to 20-25 hours per week. I mostly do Python these days.

Some things I've recently completed:

- RESTful API for a mobile app (Database design, PostgreSQL, psycopg2, Flask, Jinja2, collaborative filtering, NumPy, SciPy, json, Sphinx)

- A couple of scrappers for large amounts of data (BeautifulSoup, lxml, PyQuery, pdftotext, pdfminer, NLTK, requests, MySQL)

- Concurrent, asynchronous, scalable tool to check wide variety of responses over HTTP (Python 3, XML, ElementTree, concurrent, requests)

- Scalable, non-blocking proxy for Android/iOS/BlackBerry push notifications (Tornado, Supervisor)

- A couple of mobile-optimized websites (jQuery Mobile, SQLite, PHP)

- Many others

I'm partial to FreeBSD, Vim and the command line, but I adapt to circumstances. I'm a quick learner and largely self-taught.

I've also completed a few dozen gigs in a major freelancing website across a wide variety of skills. At one point or another I've been paid to develop in C, Perl, Java, x86 assembly, Matlab, Fortran and a few other languages.

If you think I'm a good fit for your project, contact me. org!sonnenkinder!draze

SEEKING WORK - NYC or Remote

I help startups get more users/customers from existing (or new) traffic. 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.

This reminds me of the US elections - there are strict rules regulating financing ads for a candidate, so candidates wind up running a lot more ads against their opponents: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83262.html. Just another victim of the laws of unintended consequence I guess.
