SEEKING FREELANCER - Washington DC (ideal) or Remote

Pre-launch startup in the news-media space looking for developer to finish MVP and possibly come on board with stake if interested. (Recently lost co-founder & technical backbone to an amazing opportunity with an established tech company in the area.)

Heavy lifting on design, development & customer discovery is already done. Application is ~90% functional, although it's missing quite a bit of polish. HTML/CSS is complete, but not yet integrated into the application. Validated product concept & market. Highly influential individuals from industry ready and waiting to use.

General skill set: Ruby (1.9.2), Rails (3.1), Git and MySQL (+1 if you love the news//digital media).

SEEKING WORK - London or remote.

I'm interested in distributed systems and big data. Some of the things I've been doing recently: testing multiple currency support at a betting exchange, building analytics widgets backed by a disco cluster for a large online publisher, working on an implementation of the telehash protocol.

I've also worked in search [1,2], distributed systems [3], testing [4,5] and p2p systems [6,7,8]. I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning).

I've worked professionally with python, ocaml and erlang. I would also like to pick up clojure.

SEEKING WORK - Austin, TX or Remote

I'm trying to start freelancing by doing some side work. I've recently graduated college but landed an IT job because my internship experience was IT based.

My skills are in systems administration - Linux primarily (including HPC), some Windows. I also manage NetApp and EMC fileservers.

Programming - Perl, PHP, Ruby

I'm also interested in web based projects. I'm familiar with HTML, CSS, and PHP, but am trying to get some more experience with Rails. The things I've done are primarily internal tools or team based school projects, but I'll show you what I can.

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco Bay Area or Remote

My background has been working for scientists and system administrators, so I tell people my strongest programming skills are Matlab and Perl. I also have experience in building GUI applications with Java (Swing) and C++ (Borland). I also have done embedded programming, but my software experience is much better than my hardware experience (I can do bit twiddling but do you really want to trust me with a soldering iron?). I'd like to stay in the sciences (sorry sysadmins) but I am open to anything that is interesting.

Contact in profile.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, Short-Term

I build realtime web apps in a full js stack ie. Node.js, Backbone.js.

I prefer starting from scratch and working alone or with a designer but I am traveling right now so any smaller projects might work.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (St. Petersburg, Russia)

Python, GAE. Relatively new to these, though I worked on a few client projects, so I know from experience I don't require mentoring to get things done with Python.

Also did several small personal projects, including one for HN [1].

Have prior experience with C# and embedded (C, asm for MCUs); also have some knowledge of maths and physics.

You can reach me at egor.ryabkov(at)gmail.com
