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

Need an application built? I'm a New York based, full-stack web dev specializing in Rails, iOS, and Javascript-heavy applications. I ship, reliably.

I'm wrapping up my role as CTO at an education technology startup and looking for freelance work, preferably in NYC. Before co-founding my startup, I contracted for Y-Combinator and Fortune 500 companies.

Made in NY? Get in touch: alec@alecturnbull.com

Independent consultant, advising and creating software.

I do backend and frontend development, service optimization and scientific applications. I learn fast, have broad technical and domain-specific knowledge and several years of experience working with startups and business customers from US and Europe.

I'm capable of executing all stages of a project, starting from a customer idea or a set of mockups and delivering a ready product.

I usually do Python, Java, C, Django, Backbone, PostgreSQL, Non-relational DBs or whatever to get the job done.

Our IOS app / website is getting ready for beta launch in the next week and we're looking for a rails developer to join our existing team.

Your job would be to further build out our backend, help manage / scale server side, and also possibly do some front-end web work.

This would start as a freelance job, although ideally would turn full-time if your work is high quality.

We're using:

- Ruby on Rails 3 (3.1) - Memcached - Redis and Resque - Heroku - Amazon AWS - PostgreSQL

This could be a really exciting opportunity - we're growing pretty fast, have some powerful / celebrity investors, and a street team of 50+ waiting & ready to go.

If you're in LA we have an awesome office in West Hollywood you can work from - but remote works as well as long as you can communicate daily via Skype / BaseCamp.

Shoot an email to Julian@novacorp.us with some info (website, blog, github, etc.) and we can chat to see if you'd be a good fit.

My current focus is with Django/Python, although I also have experience with WordPress and PHP. I can write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by hand, configure and secure your Linux server, and optimize Apache or nginx so that everything runs smoothly.

I can build your MVP or help you maintain and improve an existing website. I write technical specifications, use comments in my code, and am adept at Git.
