Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (October 2012)

SEEKING WORK: Cincinnati/Dayton/Columbus or Remote

I'm an iOS/PHP developer in the Midwest that specializes in apps that integrate into web services and their backends. This last month I built a small but neat one that plugged into Facebook, and neat ear training app for musicians like my sister and father, and a web app for storing, accessing and summarizing financial documents for a Midwest VC firm.

Email me at jon@z-prototype.com and we can go over your idea for free, no strings attached. Unlike others I don't charge for or set a time limit on meetings - meetings are always free, because I want to build you the product you want. You pay only for time I spend coding.

iOS, Rails, Erlang freelancer + devs. I have numerous apps in the store. We work remotely from Buenos Aires. About half of the time, we work on projects until we can handoff to a local team. The other half we'll put someone on the project long term. I'm currently looking to pick up another project.

I was formerly a VP of Engineering for Good Technology, based in Seattle and Redwood Shores. I have worked with Palm, all flavors of MS Windows mobile platforms, Symbian S60, etc.

I built:

MTV WatchWith - MTV's flagship socia media app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mtv-watchwith/id422366403?mt=...

VH1 Co-Star - Also built (and host) the server for both of these)

Whisper - anonymous social media app (we wrote the server and admin as well)

NCM's MovieNightOut (iOS and Android)

Campus Sentinel (iOS and Android)

http://github.com/inaka/edis - open source Erlang redis server clone I and a developer wrote.

SEEKING WORK: Edmonton, AB + remote

Developer (frontend + backend) & Interface Designer

I consider myself both a coder and designer, but I don't half-ass know things -- I'm pretty experienced in both realms. I've done everything from designing the UX/UI for brand new products to building distributed systems on Amazon EC2/SQS/SMS.

A few projects (happy to discuss details via email):

- Self project: http://myfotojournal.com/ (Django + front-end + design)

- Self project: http://photobattle.me/ (Rails + front-end + design)

- Self project: http://craftingtype.com/ (Designed site, copywriting/newsletter, co-organized event)

- I've worked on Carbonmade (http://carbonmade.com/), TestFlight (https://testflightapp.com/), Yardstick (http://getyardstick.com/), and many projects with Lift (http://www.liftinteractive.com/)

Experience with:

- Python, Django

- Ruby, Rails, Sinatra

- JavaScript (including large apps, jQuery, some Backbone, etc)

- HTML / CSS (including responsive design)

- Interface Design

- Some iOS development (the Carbonmade app I worked on just launched! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carbonmade/id551454081?mt=8)

- Totally comfy with git, command line, and sysadmin stuff

I've dabbled in a bunch of other languages and am pretty quick to pickup & be productive in new tech.

I think (hope?!) I'm personable and easy to work with. I'm ideally looking for product development work (as opposed to designing/building brochure websites). Everything is fair game, from a few hours/week of piece work to taking on full projects from start to finish.

Get in touch if you want to know anything else, or if you'd like to start on a project: kyle.fox@gmail.com
