SEEKING WORK - Remote, Amsterdam, London

Syadmin as a Service

Do you want the best when it comes to scaling, resilience and reliability, but don't have a full-time Ops person on the team? Why not rent one?

I work with startups and web agencies to help them spend less time worrying about technical problems, and more time growing their business.

How can I help you?

- Expert sysadmin services, on tap

- Infrastructure design and engineering

- Server maintenance and optimisation (performance and cost)

- Quickly get up and running with tools like Puppet

About Me

I'm writing a book on AWS System Administration that will be published by O'Reilly later this year.

Here's an AWS case study for an infrastructure I built: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/fashiolista/

Last month I gave a talk at Puppet Camp Amsterdam about how to get the most of out AWS and Puppet.

If you think these services could help your business grow, let's talk. mike@fadedink.co.uk

I refuse to write "seeking work" in capital letters under my real name but I might as well throw my hat in. New York-based, remote is fine. Travel is fine if compensation merits it and it doesn't interfere with other jobs.

What I am I good at? Machine learning, statistical reasoning, game design, technical writing, architecture and design, and functional programming. I also know organization dynamics at a deep level even though I wouldn't recommend myself for a full-time management spot (hence my increasing interest in freelance; I'll have to escape the manage-or-be-managed corporate world before 40).

I don't have much front-end experience but I'm interested in picking it up. My preferred languages are Scala, Clojure, and Ocaml but I'll use the right tool for the job, and I can learn extremely quickly so that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm good at everything but subordination. No, I'm not constitutionally insubordinate-- I follow rules that make sense, like traffic laws-- but I refuse to be in the abusive power dynamic that sometimes comes with a payment relationship. I will only work for you if you see me as a full and equal partner; I bring the know-how and solve your problems, you bring the capital and problems to solve.

Oh, if you know anything about me, I don't lack for honesty. I'm a pretty blunt guy (constitutionally; not by choice) and I think that has advantages for you, even if it's bad for me.

SEEKING FREELANCER (DESIGNER), NYC preferable but REMOTE ok

I have a web app that is coded 90% (Python/Flask) by me but need serious help on designing the front end. I would like to work with a designer and code things together (I build the backend, you do the front end). I prefer designers who can code over developers who can design a little bit. Contact me at yc@treftsystems.com

SEEKING WORK – Remote or Europe

I'm currently looking for work as full stack Python/Django developer. I have successfully completed jobs from HN before.

I also have experience with Node.js, Tornado, Pyramid, C++ (OpenGL and Qt) and Java. For my personal projects I use linux, nginx, postgresql, memcached, mercurial, jQuery and twitter bootstrap, but I'm also familiar with apache, mysql, mongodb, hbase, git, backbone.js and many other.

I've started my own consulting company last year and I've been working on contracts from HN or oDesk since then:
