Bonsai (YC W16) (https://www.hellobonsai.com) offers freelance contracts, proposals, invoices, etc.

SEEKING WORK Independent Devops/infrastructure consulting. Remote US, some travel ok.

I’m a highly driven, generally easy-going devops and software engineer, with an eye for detail and over a decade of hands on, in depth experience designing, implementing, and maintaining:

    HPC solutions
    distributed cloud and native applications
    application and container platforms
    bare metal and cloud deployments
    green and brown field infrastructure
    solutions in numerous languages and programming paradigms
    networking and security
    devops/development/business best practices
    regulatory compliance
    in-house training curriculum and material

I’ve worked for many different types of organizations, in many industries, with people from widely different backgrounds, with a track-record for success. I enjoy solving problems and empowering people. While I specialize in technical solutions, I am acutely aware that not all problems are technical. I help optimize business/people processes as well; from streamlining processes, to tearing down silos, to redefining demarcation points.

I can help future proof your startup or modernize your enterprise.

SEEKING WORK | UX/UI & web design

Portfolio: https://www.seanw.org/

Location: Edinburgh, UK and remote (I’m used to time zone differences and async work)

Email: sw@seanw.org

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background as a startup founder and full stack developer helps me create practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.
