Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2018)

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Back-end development. Functional languages. API development. DSLs. IoT. Prototype development. Feasibility studies.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on “weird” or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn’t be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD

DevOps Process Consulting - Linux Systems Administration - Network Management

Hi, I’m Lee Whalen, Principal of Fuzzy Logic, a Seattle-Based DevOps consultancy with deep experience in providing business results through technical solutions.

We help SaaS companies save money on hosting through extensive automation - infrastructure deployment, code-checking/deploy, CI/CD - and good-practices for on-premise or public cloud management.

Business results we’ve obtained for our Clients include:

+ Savings in excess of $1.4M/yr by environment-wide migrations from Rackspace fully managed hardware to a privately hosted Openstack environment

+ A 33% savings from previous OpEx through optimizing public-cloud spend, replacing expensive SaaS products with internal services, etc

+ Cut DevOps engineer 'time to first commit' from two weeks to two days with documentation and optimized onboarding processes

+ Developed a custom API-driven provisioning tool that allowed VMs to deploy independent of the cloud provider backend

Let's have a conversation about where your business is going and what we can do to get you there. Contact Fuzzy Logic or its principal Lee Whalen:

SEEKING WORK | Frankfurt, Germany | REMOTE-only

I have some time on hands I can spend on Machine/Deep Learning in computer vision, NLP and fraud detection (spot instances and series). I am both in bleeding-edge academia as well as in industry productionalizing state-of-art models (i.e. replicating proven papers that are 3-6 months old and putting them into production on problems that largely reduce to their assumptions). Recently turned a DenseNet and Wide ResNet multicategorical image detection into an SaaS serverless product, prototyped a Spark-based "classical" ML fraud detector ensemble matching performance of a hand-crafted one (Gradient-boosted Decision Trees, Random Forests, SVM etc.), identifying suspicious features using PCA/t-SNE/clustering and preparing another detector based on spot fraud detector (VAE) and time series fraud detector (VRNN/WBW), e.g. bot traffic. Automating customer service using sentiment analysis and mail classification/response generation. Self-driving cars, Deep Reinforcement Learning for robotics and program synthesis for research fun too.

Purely project based, i.e. you specify what you need and I work on a solution with agreed checkpoints (renumeration possible based on days or progress level).

While based in EU, there is no problem to spawn a company in Delaware to service US-based clients if needed.
