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

---

I can help you with small to medium web projects! I have a network of freelancers that can help me on larger projects, including very talented and experienced designers and project managers. Hourly or project-based is fine. Not looking for relocation or employment (unless you have my dream remote job).

Full-stack, leaning towards back-end. Product focus from years of experience working with/for startups. Clear communication (in English or Swedish, my French is not great yet).

I'm 33 years old, have 12 years+ professional dev. experience (coding for 20+ years). MSc. Computer Science/Engineering. I've been freelancing remote for over two years. Love web projects, but I also really like the "weird" projects - examples from my history: hack the storage backend for Riak to repair a broken cluster (Erlang); automate parts of web-based workflow for an agency (Chrome extension).

I'm certainly no Jon Skeet, but my profile is in the top 3% globally on Stack Overflow.

Help our small development team expand our use of Gitlab!

A few things about our work:

* Heavy user of AWS platform services (like RDS, Elasticsearch Service, S3, Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda etc...)

* Backend components are almost exclusively built in Python. Exceptions to this would be cases where we are relying on non-Python based platforms, such as Elasticsearch.

* Frontend components are almost exclusively built as React webapps.

Before shifting work to Gitlab, we experimented with using AWS Codestar (which has fully managed build service, automated continuous delivery and deployments, etc...). It was extremely useful to be able to commit code and have that automatically kickoff a deployment so we could examine the changes from within the context of the application.

For the scope of this project, I would like your help with the following:

- Installation and configuration of Gitlab Enterprise on AWS, Including any integration required to enable automated deployments. This would include configuration of the AWS kubernetes service, etc...

- Guidance on how to best handle projects with heavy AWS dependencies - for example, would deploying a review app standup an entirely separate environment via CloudFormation? Or would we have dev/test/prod AWS assets setup ahead of time that the review apps would depend on (for example, if we were building an app atop the AWS Elasticsearch service).

- Guidance on how we can build application templates that may facilitate the process of beginning work on a new project. For example, CodeStar had several project templates to choose from (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codestar/latest/userguide/templa...).

- Any other expertise you can provide to help our team move through projects in a more efficient manner (across project management, development, testing, deployment, etc...).
