Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer? (June 2019)

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Do you feel like you should be growing faster?

Are you mostly winging it when it comes to marketing your product?

Lack focus for your marketing initiatives?

I can help your B2B SaaS business sell your product to more software engineering teams. I'm uniquely able to help you because I'm both a software engineer and marketer. That allows me to understand your product, speak your language, and write code to scale your marketing.

I'm available part-time for one project in a couple of weeks and more in the coming months.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I can be reached via the email in my profile.

SEEKING WORK: Embedded/IoT development, development process consulting, product quality consulting

I'm an experienced (>10 years) software engineer with management experience. I have a master's in mechanical engineering.

I've worked on all stages of embedded products, from product management, to specification, to coding, testing, and qualification. A lot of my career was spent working on safety-critical systems up to ASIL D / SIL4.

  * provide training
  * bring automated tests and continuous integration to your embedded projects (DevOps for embedded!)
  * close gaps in your team's embedded development expertise

Are you an eCommerce company who is looking to save money on hosting through extensive automation?

Working with iOffer[1], an established eCommerce platform, we cut their hosting costs by 80%, while matching the previous hosting provider's SLA. This added up to more than $500,000 per year in hosting cost savings.

Here's what iOffer's CTO had to say about the outcome of our work together:

> “If you point to any particular piece of our infrastructure, Fuzzy Logic has improved it. Everything is automated – all the provisioning, new services. We have a complex setup with all the applications, databases, storage and search servers. Fuzzy Logic set it up in a way that we’ll be able to continue to grow each of the services.” – Ian James, iOffer CTO

As the Principal of Fuzzy Logic, a Seattle-Based DevOps consultancy, we have deep experience in providing our clients with the business results they need through technical solutions:

- Infrastructure deployment - Code-checking/deploy - CI/CD - Best practices for on-premise or public cloud management

Clients who have worked with use have experienced great results, including:

+ Savings in excess of $1.4M/yr through environment-wide migrations from Rackspace fully-managed hardware to a private-cloud Openstack environment

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

+ An 85% reduction in 'time to first commit' for DevOps engineers (going from two weeks to two days) through improvements to documentation and optimizations to the onboarding process
