Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (March 2013)

Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location and whether remote work is a possibility.

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 math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I'm comfortable with clojure, python, erlang and ocaml but I will learn whatever is the right tool for the job.

I would consider full-time work for the right problem/team. I'm also interested in partnering with other freelance developers to cover the whole stack.

SEEKING WORK - Amsterdam, London, Remote.

I am a sysadmin who loves to efficiently solve business problems. With a DevOps background, twelve years of sysadmin experience, and a passion for problem-solving, I am keen to help HNers achieve their goals. My main areas of expertise are:

    Scaling high traffic websites

    Designing highly-reliable applications

    Migrating to AWS (e.g. from Heroku, if you want more control over your request routing and costs)

    Server maintenance and optimisation

    Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources

I am building a business around the idea of a 'sysadmin as a service' for those people who need regular sysadmin work, yet do not have enough projects to justify hiring a full-time sysadmin. Would you like a friendly expert to work on ad hoc projects and also be available for emergency support?

If you'd like to discuss any of these services in more detail, I'd love to hear from you - mike@fadedink.co.uk
