My name is Alex Zylman and I'm a senior studying Computer Engineering. I'm finishing up my last year in school and I'm looking for some remote contract work to wile away my free time. I interned for Google last summer and I've got significant web development experience in a variety of languages in both front end (CSS, Javascript/jQuery, Google Web Toolkit) and back end (PHP, SQL, Java, Python, Google App Engine).

You can see my LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/azylman, my Github profile at https://github.com/azylman, and reach me at [azylman AT u.northwestern.edu]

Okay I'll play. My name is Martin and I currently live in Denmark while working on (and make a living off of) my own projects. I recently got invited to stay with a friend in Hong Kong and I've absolutely fallen in love with the city. At this point I'm willing to let other people take care of my current projects and instead get a job so I can move to Hong Kong. Background: Standard hacker-type story, no degree, some…

contact joel@bufferapp.com. His startup just received funding and they are presently in HongKong.

Let Joel know I gave you his email.

Now I want to focus on developing web and mobile applications. Looking for some remote freelancing or fulltime anywhere in the world :). Marek

I'm Josh: just moved to Stockholm and looking for a job! Background: highly technical skills as well as business. Degree in IT and recently completed MBA. However, I am NOT a typical MBA. I can code and am currently learning Python and Ruby. I would love a position in development, product ownership, management, or any combination thereof! I'm pretty flexible with my career choices right now.

You should take a look at Klarna. Not really a small startup anymore, but a pretty cool place. I used to work there but quit because of a long commute and being unable to relocate. https://klarna.com/en/about-us/work-at-klarna

I've tried about 5 different positions there but keep getting rejected. Not sure why they don't like my profile :(

Perl, remote, Asperger's. Give me your hardest data / db / sysadmin / web problem or project. If I accept it, I will give you correct, beautiful code that anyone can maintain.

If you can't explain the problem in a sentence or two, it's not ready to be solved. If you need a conference call to sort it out, solve that problem first. Please be just one person, not a hierarchical collective. Allow enough time and budget for a correct solution. If you need to ask my hourly rate, you can't afford it :)

I'm from DC as well, but I'm currently in college and looking for an internship for this summer...you wouldn't happen to have any recommendations? I'm mainly a Ruby/Rails guy, but I can pick up anything...any help would be much appreciated.

We might be bringing on an intern or two at CustomInk. Great work environment, great office in Tysons. Reach out to me at csutton@customink.com if you're interested.

Just sent you an email. Thanks for reaching out!
