Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (January 2013)

Specialties: PHP, jQuery, mySQL, Sphinx Search

Looking for junior level Rails work, but I am also interested in anything which I can get my hands on. I presently live in Philadelphia and would place priority on working here, but I am also willing to relocate (depending upon location) and/or work remotely. I am self-taught and extremely receptive to learning new technologies. Where I lack knowledge, I gain the drive to absorb and surround myself with anything I can.

A primary project I am working on right now called "define.io" is linked below. It is a fairly simple, yet (hopefully!) effective way of allowing users to review tech products. It is in a very early state, but does have some basic functionality. All of the site's code is posted on Github (also linked below), and it is hosted using Heroku.

I primarily work with: Ruby/Rails, JavaScript/jQuery, HTML/CSS (Bootstrap), Heroku I'm interested in learning/working more with: Go, Haskell, Objective-C, Redis/NoSQL. Also open to working with: Python/Django
