SEEKING WORK p/t - Amsterdam, NL - remote, freelance

I am a (slightly older than most) student living in Amsterdam for the month. I'm currently sole developer on an unannounced startup, but with the semester ending I have some time for smaller side projects. I am a generalist with decent skills in a wide variety of activities, and have written production code in HTML/CSS/JS, Flash/AS, Perl, VBA/VB6 (ewwww), and C#, and have recently begun tinkering around with Wordpress. Much of my work is in small, private, one-off projects (custom reporting, dynamic banner ads, random hacks to clean up data mistakes by production servers, etc), but am not completely bereft of publicly-visible projects.

Sample work: the Dynamite Deals Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dynamite-deal...

Looking for short-term (days to a week or two) tasks.

PS- I can do English-language copywriting, technical documentation, Photoshop, video editing, and a bunch of other things too!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I strongly suggest you learn Objective C. It's not that hard and when compared with the trash you get using Titanium or PhoneGap it'll put you in a different league professionally. At the very least learn another language, whether it's Python, Ruby or C#. Polyglot >>>>>> Monoglot

I'm picking up Obj C but it's early stages yet. I'm also building a couple of things in Python but not to the level I'm comfortable risking someone else's project on it at the moment. I do know a fair bit of C and spent 3 years in a Perl shop but tbh, I'd rather not go down that path right now :)

I paused learning Objective C to focused on .Net for my new job, but will be picking it back up shortly. Python is next on my list.

And I don't blame you for the C/Perl sentiment :)

SEEKING WORK - BC, Canada, Remote, up to 30% travel

Certified, incorporated Project Management contractor/consultant. I mostly work with US clients.

My dream client is a smaller start-up-ish company that has a product (or products) available in the market. Your clients need some assistance and oversight when deploying/installing/implementing said product. You need a gatekeeper between the client and the development team - someone who can set their expectations realistically and tell the difference between a bug and a PEBKAC error.

Projects never go as fast as they should, right? From my experience on software implementation projects with Massive Fortune 500 corporations, I know what to expect and can help them plan realistically to avoid those surprise scrambles :)

I'm a technology loving geek, but not socially awkward (or so I like to think). Incorporated, professional, funny and adventurous.

Seeking work - Remote, Freelance iOS product management, user-experience, product design. How I work: I will have a thorough phone discussion with you about what the product will do, who the users are, etc., then I will iterate through several wireframe's, getting your feedback. You'll be able to reach me via IM, email, or phone. Once we have a wire-frame, I'll get you PSD's and/or any other images you need. Latest p…

offtopic: why do you need "scan" button? The system should know if it sees QR code by itself.

Great question.

When the app is opened, the default view is for the scanner to be open and ready to scan. The only reason for the "scan" button is if the user has gone to "history" or "settings" and then wants to go back to "scan" mode.

Feel free to test the app out yourself: http://bit.ly/IcwM62

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco/Remote

I'm an iOS/Rails developer with App Store experience who used to work at Hipster (www.hipster.com). Our work was ranked on all of Apple's top lists: What's Hot, New and Noteworthy, and Staff Favorites. We were recently acquired by Aol. Now, I'm freelancing full-time.

I'm capable of creating RESTful Rails APIs to power apps. The only support I need is a designer to create UI mockups.

Prior to Hipster, I worked at Google, Microsoft, and Apple (http://www.linkedin.com/in/joshavant).

Say hello at GarageAppsmiths@gmail.com !
