Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (February 2026)

#1
Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location, and whether remote work is a possibility.

Please only post if you are looking to hire a freelancer or work as one. Small (2-5 person) agencies are fine, but recruiters, job boards, and so on, are off topic here.

SEEKING WORK: EU, Remote Worldwide

I offer DevOps, Cloud and Development services for startups, growth companies and enterprises. For example, I often setup DevOps installations, architect and build cloud infrastructures, design platform architectures and build cloud-based, SaaS and mobile products.

What makes me unique is that my services are tuned precisely to each of my clients: their products and customers, and the way their teams work. I only provide solutions that fit.

Some of my services are fixed-price which makes them ideal for startups. Here are some examples:

  * Azure / AWS Cloud Platform cluster build-out: $950
  * Azure DevOps setup for a small org 
I also provide emergency services, support, workshops and training.

CV: Available Upon Request

Email: poetic.artifice@gmail.com

I am a seasoned (>15 years experience) full-stack staff-level software engineer specializing in the backend, systems architecture, AI, platform engineering, internal tools, prototyping, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team in either role through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling. I also hold a US patent in the AI space.

In the past, I've taught a number of scientists and students to code in python; I've led and managed a number of high-impact engineering teams of up to 12; and pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech. >10% of all medicare applications and millions of individuals currently flow through pioneering no-code systems I conceived and built and have ran in production for over a decade.

More recently, I've built a no-code automated form-filler; a no-code web scraper (and an AI for generating such scrapers from a spec and 1-3 example urls from a page); and a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window inputs or outputs using a novel, patented process that I invented; and applied these tools to various contracted projects requiring analysis and and cross-checking of information and other forms of integrity across textual and video/audio corpus data in a variety of domains (fiction and non-fiction).

I am also an improvisational pianist, published poet, and I've created novel algorithms and tools for studying and composing both music and poetry, which I have given a talk on at a recent functional programming conference.

I have extensive experience working for and running startups, software consulting shops, with some mid-sized company engineering experience as well; these give me a unique insight into speaking with customers and internal stake-holders, translating between engineering and other departments, gathering requirements, aligning stake-holders across departments on a vision and attainable timeline, and architecting/building/taking ownership over significant internal and customer-facing areas of responsibility.

If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out. I am available for both full-time positions and short- and long-term contracts.

We phased out this regular thread a few months ago because most people were cross-posting between it and "Who Wants to Be Hired" (or, if they were seeking a freelancer, "Who Is Hiring").

I appreciate that you and at least a few other users have found these freelancer threads valuable and, if I can find a few minutes to look into it more closely, will consider restoring them. I'd prefer to have a solution to the cross-posting problem before doing that.

As for the latter: I've moved a few comments that were posted here to the appropriate threads, but left the ones that had already been cross-posted and marked them as [dupe].

As I noted before, since people are free to post what they like on HN, there is no reason for the community not to bring it back if desired.

Please don't moderate a thread you didn't post when nothing offensive is being posted. It's unnecessary and rude.

n.b. if the original whoishiring thread comes back, I will certainly quit posting this alternative!

Available for remote work worldwide, very flexible across time zones. Looking for permanent or contract positions.

Hi! I’m Olga, an experienced software engineer looking for frontend or fullstack projects.

I have experience building greenfield projects and complex features that “just work,” as well as diving into complex legacy codebases, fixing “unfixable” bugs, and performing major refactoring.

In addition to React/Next.js and Node/Express.js development, I also have experience with cloud-native workflows (Golang + Kubernetes), OpenAI API integration and agentic workflows, native iOS development, and game development. Thanks to my multi-platform experience, I can help you port large products across different platforms.
