Hi, I'm Nuno, a Result-Oriented Angular Developer with a strong technical skill-set, attention to detail, and 16 years of experience. I have a passion for translating beautiful designs into functional user interfaces and building great web applications.
I actively seek out new technologies and stay up-to-date on industry trends and advancements. Continued education has allowed me to stay ahead of the curve and deliver exceptional work to each employer I’ve worked for - both full-time and contract.
I've successfully delivered projects like a CSS UI library used by 17,000 employees, a mobile app that now has 15,000+ users, and an award-winning payroll system. I've done frontend work for Adobe, 21st Century Fox, Bayer, among other companies.
I've been working remotely for the last 5 years for clients worldwide and I can be flexible in order to have overlapping working hours with a distributed team.

#4I am an experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Flask, Django, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), GUI development, database access (using MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, etc.
I am looking for full-time or part-time work, either one is fine. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done on a regular basis, then I would love to hear from you.
I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python).
(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

#5Development specialized on the free software project Open edX, used by many universities and companies to run online courses. See edx.org, stanford.edu or fun-mooc.fr for examples of Open edX instances. We are a team of sixteen developers, all working remotely from Europe, North & South America, Asia & Australia. The company is not affiliated with edX, but rather contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, were you would be able to work remotely from anywhere you want, as long as you have a good internet connection. : )
The Open edX platform is a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, MIT, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are very varied, from developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working fullstack, operating our service infrastructure, improving our hosting platform, etc. You won't get bored here.
Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing most of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.
Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS/OpenStack, Debian/Ubuntu, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch, JS, HTML/CSS.
Nice to haves: AWS/OpenStack, Terraform, Vault, Packer, Prometheus, ELK, Docker, Android/iOS. We are building a modern infrastructure and having a strong DevOps presence on top of core software engineering skills is a big plus with us.
Interview process: a 30 minutes Hangout with a (simple) coding exercise.

#6Product-focused senior dev / tech lead with experience of getting startups from nothing to MVP to funding to scale-up stage.
I'm happy to pitch in with an existing team, help you create and expand a new team or simply take a feature or problem out of your backlog/roadmap and replace it with a solid, working solution.
I'm available solo, or could bring 1-3 additional, trusted developers with me - whatever you need.
Skills include:
* Python, Django - expert level.
* Modern JS (ES6 and Vue.js, plus jQuery for legacy stuff), HTML5, CSS3.
* Excellent communicator, facilitator and developer mentor - I enjoy making teams happier and better.
* Until recently I was tech lead at http://www.yunojuno.com, with a multi-disciplinary team of ~8.
* Big fan of testing, of good documentation, of automation, of creating clear, developer-empowering processes and of keeping production environments as dull as possible (because no one likes being on call).
* I know my way around machine learning (incl. TF) and am keen to apply it real-world projects.
More about me, including recommendations:

Location: UK, remote. Can be available for US-timezone calls.

#7Ruby/Rails/React: I've been working full time with Ruby on Rails for more than 12 years and consequently can provide significant value to teams struggling to scale or maintain their Rails apps. I'm adept at the full stack and have recent experience with React and React Native.

#9I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.
I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, and conferences.
