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 started freelancing a few months ago after my stint as a single founder. One of my first clients was a HN member for whom I did remote contract work for almost a couple of months.

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.)

To give an example of me trying out new things, my current gig is related to conversion optimization(s) and driving growth for a startup in the education domain. I am up for any work that is challenging & stimulating.

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!

SEEKING WORK - Remote

I am from Pakistan and posses 10+ years of professional experience in software development. I have developed apps for corporate sector, enterprise and for consumers.

I have working experience on PHP, Java and Python but not limited to these languages. Technically I can work on any language when needed. I am a self-learner, passionate and a curious individual.

I have worked on high volume websites and involved in optimization of system where needed. Beside RDBMS systems I have working knowledge of NoSQL Databases like MongoDB. I have worked on cache mechanisms like Memcache and Queue systems like BeanstalkD.

Beside engineering I also have interest and inclination towards business side and have worked on projects from inception of idea till deployment. I often work on different applications on my own to solve my own problems and eventually for others. In 2006 I created a PHP Class that converts MySQL data into JSON. I got 3rd prize by PHPClasses and was featured on Ajaxian.com. I also created a Quran MSN bot that used to get 30k looksup/month. In 2010 I applied in Dubai SeedStartup Incubator program and got selected in Top 25 candidates.

SEEKING WORK - London or remote. I specialize in algorithmic problems. Here are some things I've been working on lately: Scalable recommendations engine - https://github.com/jamii/springer-recommendations Concise pattern matching and parsing - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4902219 Parallelizing a constraint solver - http://scattered-thoughts.net/blog/2012/12/19/search-trees-a... I have a strong background in m…

I'm considering freelancing in London - I'm also into machine learning and algorithms. I would love to hear about your experience - has it been easy to find work in this area?

I've just moved to London, but I don't expect it to be very easy to find freelance work in ML. There are a limited number of companies who want to just buy an API. While I've done ok going that route so far, I think long-term the way to go is either to team up with some webdevs and offer full-stack product development or specialize in BI/analytics and market myself to big companies.
