SEEKING FREELANCER. Philadelphia & New York. Local only.

We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.

Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.

We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).

As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.

Skills we are currently looking for:

  • Ruby & Rails
  • Elixir & Phoenix
  • Kubernetes, Docker, AWS Lambda
  • Python
  • React, Angular
  • React Native
  • .NET
  • iOS, Android

SEEKING WORK - Based in Cologne, Germany, remote or Europe preferred

I 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.

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

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Prototype development. Feasibility studies. Data migration, transformation, and processing.

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

Location: Seattle, WA

Remote: yes/world-wide

We make sure your site doesn't go down on Black Friday.

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 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 - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with 18 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres and Chef/AWS. I'm also very comfortable in Angular, Vue, React, Java, and Python (lots of projects in Django, Flask, and CLI tools for DevOps and ML). I've made modest contributions to Rails, Postgres, and lots of other OSS projects.

At the low level I've done paid work writing custom Postgres extensions with C and SIMD CPU instructions and implementing performance-critical network services with Rust. At the high level I can design and wireframe features, show their business value, talk to customers, lead other developers, mentor, consult on application architecture, and advise on scaling/performance. You don't want me to pick your color scheme though. :-)

I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member. I value client satisfaction as highly as technical excellence.
