SEEKING WORK - Remote or On-Site, San Francisco Bay Area

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  - 5 years Ruby on Rails (full stack).
  - 13 years of engineering.  
  - 4 years user growth.
  

  Looking for long-term or short-term consulting work.


  Specialize in Rails (full stack) and user growth 
  (marketing/advertising). I'm a hybrid coder and marketer
  with a proven track record. I love working on-site and
  work just as well remotely.
  
  
  I'm a friendly guy with an aggressive attitude and good 
  communication skills.
  
  
  I'm looking for projects solving real problems. My belief
  is that the product (features) reach customers ASAP and     
  that's what ultimately matters. Testing code is good, but 
  not the end-all be-all. Iterate on what works and make it 
  better. 


  I'm a believer in customer development, mining data for 
  user behavior that we can code into features and marketing 
  campaigns.
  

  Have built new, and worked on existing, Rails applications 
  including (but not limited to):

  - A permission based advertising platform.

  - An e-comm up-sell marketing platform.

  - A social media platform.

  - Most recently one of the      
    largest e-commerce flash sales sites.
  

  Contact me below to have your problems solved.
      
  Cheers!

SEEKING WORK, remote or near Mountain View, CA

Hi, I'm Amir. I'm a backend developer who specializes in node.js apps and building APIs. I'm also available for API-related Objective-C work for iOS and OS X. A list of my recent projects can be found at http://amirmalik.net

My tech stack includes tools like Redis, MongoDB, CouchDB (Cloudant), PostgreSQL, and ElasticSearch.

If you're starting something new, I'll work with you and your team to determine the required tools to build your app in the desired timeframe. Have an existing project? I'll dive in with a third-party perspective and help you refine and extend what you have.

GitHub: https://github.com/ammmir

Email: amir at pilvy dot com

I'm available 2-3 days a week. I can do either daily rate billing or fixed bid projects, no hourly please. If interested, please email me. If you're local, let's grab coffee. Thanks!

SEEKING WORK - London or remote.

I work with 'big' data and distributed systems.

> ... list the three areas you are strongest

Identifying the essence of a problem. Drawing on existing research and theory to produce simple, practical solutions. Explaining the solution clearly and simply. By way of example:

I've spent the last few months at the NYC Hacker School, adapting research from the BOOM and STEPS projects to build tools for rapidly prototyping distributed algorithms ( http://scattered-thoughts.net/blog/2012/12/02/hacker-school/ ). I would be especially interested in putting these ideas in practice.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, I'm Russian but live in Bali.

-------------

Alexander Zaytsev, alexander@say26.com

If your backend isn't Rails, you can stop reading.

If you are looking for a ninja, go to Japan or NY storm sewers.

-------------

Rails, HTML5, CSS3, Ember, Backbone, Responsive design, SCSS, Coffeescript.

-------------

Side projects & open source:

http://feetlot.com - Summer 2012, scratching my own itch. To build the shoes database I used several APIs and wrote parsers when there were no APIs.

http://nabbber.com - 2010, 4000 users, 18k words added, Zend Framework (I moved to Rails shortly afterwards). Three 'b's? But dribbble was hot back then!

https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/active_model_pusher - I believe the bright future of the web is Rails + Ember + websockets. This gem makes it easy to connect Rails with websockets.

https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/human_date - A gem to help in displaying dates for humans (because I care about users).

-------------

I'm really easy to work with.

I know my stuff and improve constantly.

I go through Rails/Ember commits on Github to see what's new before it is announced.

I'm not afraid to say "I don't know."

I prefer the back-end but at the same time I experiment with CSS stuff like vertical rhythm or using single-direction margins. In other words, I'm universal and strive for the best practices in every technology I use.

I almost never use jQuery now because Ember and Backbone, that's why. I know when to use Ember and when to use Backbone. Lots of people don't.

Apart from being good at the technical side, I'm also good at seeing the whole picture. I will help you build a better product. I will scrutinize your ideas and suggest new ones. I will add value to your product.

Get in touch even if you don't have a cool project for me to work on, I love meeting new people.

SEEKING WORK -- remote. In Berlin, can travel.

Do you need a data scientist that can also do the data pushups and communicate the results? I have ~8yr experience in R, PhD in machine learning, and 2 startups under my belt.

Problems I solve:

Why are customers canceling their memberships?

How are users moving through the site?

What is the maximum I should pay to acquire customers?

--

We'll use both math ( bayesian models, e.g., Custora-like), and Patio11's style of mail campaigns.

I have helped luxodo.com, and betabrand.com (through a former company that tanked). Feel free to contact me to talk about your problem.
