Hi, I'm Nuno, a Result-Oriented Front End 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.

Worldwide, REMOTE, near-total flexibility on hours. $70-100/hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat (https://karat.io)
Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you're done.
I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.
Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.
Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.
The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...
I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.

#6SEEKING WORK -- Jacksonville, FL -- remote/freelance
I 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.)

#9SEEKING WORK — Remote okay
I’m Vijay, Full-stack Designer and Developer from South India.
Designed the award-winning branding for io.js, which eventually merged back into Node.js from which it was forked — https://behance.net/gallery/23269525/IOJS-logo-concept
Previously at Infinera, I did Data Visualization using d3.js to built an angular-based frontend for their Java NMS, converting their graph network of nodes and links into a force-directed semantic graph (zooming in or out allows you to drill down the network similar to Google Maps.) Cannot share this work due to NDA but it was very similar to the new version of CISCO DNA - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-managem...
My work history involves ample bits of Nginx + node.js on the server side, puppeteer for scraping websites, passport for handling APIs and OAuth, d3.js for visualizations, logo design + branding, landing pages and full-on websites and web apps (React-Node-Mongo stack).
Selected works are up on https://dffrnt.com
If you find my work interesting, please email me at vijay@dffrnt.com
P.S: You can also find me on Twitter as @vjk2005 tweeting an eclectic mix of Game Dev, pop culture, Japan, crypto and AI

Have you gotten your company past the first stage or two to where it's profitable? Have you been thinking about starting to collect data and optimize? Then let's discuss!
I will instrument your software to produce the necessary metrics and data points, store them, analyze them, view them on dashboards, and best of all: optimize and grow! Both now and down the road.
Another common scenario I can help you with: have you created a monster Excel spreadsheet fed by your database? I can replace it with dashboards that show the same information in a much more useful format so that you won't have to squint at that spreadsheet anymore!
Remote only. Not willing to relocate, but open to a small amount of travel.
