Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2012)

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote / Boston

I posted an internet marketing job on oDesk yesterday which might be of interest to some of you: ---

I run a web-based timeline maker called Preceden (http://www.preceden.com), which helps people make simple, web-based timelines.

I am interested in hiring a conversion rate specialist to analyze this site and make recommendations on how to improve the sign up rate and rate at which people who sign up upgrade to a paid account.

I have done some basic conversion rate analysis and A/B testing, but am looking for an expert to take a hard look at the site and make recommendations on how to make it better. This includes devising A/B tests (such as different designs, user-flows, usability improvements, wording, etc) and analyzing historical data (from Google Analytics and from sign up stats) to figure out what type of users have converted well in the past.

If you're interested, please apply via oDesk [1] or drop me a note: matthew.h.mazur@gmail.com

SEEKING WORK - Remote / Scotland

SysAdmin/DevOps stuff, server automation with chef and the like, monitoring, making sure your stuff works, automating scaling and deployments, and also being available for on-call emergencies.

I've done a ton of work with Ruby/Rails deployments in particular and I'm not incompetent at writing Ruby code either.

Also, Americans! Keep in mind that your 'out of hours' is my 'working day', and that my costs put me well under frothy bubbly Silicon Valley wages! :o)

SEEKING WORK - US - Summer internship: AI, machine learning, data, ...

I'm going back to school after 5 years of full-time software engineering experience. Python, C, Open Source, Linux, Embedded, Mobile, and much more: http://www.linkedin.com/in/njwilson84

I will be starting at UT Austin (MS in Computer Science) this fall where I plan to focus on AI and machine learning.

I did some AI research during my undergrad. More recently, I have been taking many of the free online classes from Stanford professors including:

- Probabilistic Graphical Models (in progress)

- AI for Robotics: Programming a Robotic Car

- Machine Learning

- Databases

I am very interested in a summer internship where I can work with data and apply techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence.
