Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2014)

My name is Ram Rachum, and I’m a freelance software developer. I help businesses solve their problems using software, mostly by developing web-based applications. I work mainly in Python and Django.

On the technical level, it’s my responsibility to have high problem-solving skills; to design a good architecture for each project I work on; to implement that architecture quickly and effectively; and to be experienced with the languages and frameworks that I’m using, so when a problem comes up, I don’t have to spend 2 hours to research and solve it but rather just 5 minutes, because I’ve seen that problem dozen of times before.

On the project-management level, it’s my responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with the client and my collaborators on the project; to understand exactly what the client wants to build as we plan together how to build it; to always keep the client updated about progress; to have an owner mentality and make decisions with the best interest of the client in mind; to own up to mistakes when they happen; and to always get feedback as early as possible from the client and from the users, so we know we’re not wasting time going into blind alleys, and we’re spending time only on features that the users are happy with. My email is ram@rachum.com . Send me an email and say hello.

I've been a full-stack web developer for the last four years. Before that I worked as an accountant, a bass player, and even built point-to-point tube amplifiers. These days my main tools are Ruby and the Rails ecosystem with some work in iOS and Clojure. I've built analytics systems, consumer-facing health care sites (not the big one that failed!), and enterprise-oriented education products. I'm also good with APIs and infrastructure.

My main strength is the combination of humor and empathy I've developed throughout my diverse experiences. The code needs to work, but it's a pyrrhic victory if the complementary human realities of the stakeholders and team members involved are ignored. Before I program anything, I listen, ask questions, and think.

Available for part-time engagements (20-25 hrs/week) involving development, project management, or strategic planning.

I'm a full stack web developer with nearly a decade of experience. I generally work with Ruby, Python, JavaScript, and/or PHP, but I've used several other languages professionally and would welcome the chance to pick up something new if the project required it. I'm fully booked right now, but am available from the end of June. I generally take on one client at a time, so I'm looking for something full-time or close to it.

I spent 4 years at Last.fm developing software used by millions of people, worked at a similar scale at Sun Microsystems, have helped small teams fix their legacy codebase to escape their technical debt, and mentored developers & businesses. I particularly like small teams/startups, and like shaping the product/business direction too.
