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

I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now and started freelancing a while back after my stint as a single founder. One of my first clients was a HN member for whom I did remote contract work for almost a couple of months.

I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)

My last consulting assignment was related to conversion optimization(s) and driving growth for a startup in the education domain. I am up for any work that is challenging & stimulating. I'd prefer to pick up a long term remote work contract.

References from previous clients are available on request.

Please see my profile for the contact & other relevant information. Just drop a line to say hello, it's always good to interact with fellow HN members!

I'm looking for a talented, self-managing back-end PHP developer who has experience with the Lithium PHP framework. Communication skills and fast learning are a must.

Our site is a fast-growing pet product discount site with thousands of active members and real revenue every day. We've built the site solidly and with growth in mind, and now it's time to make that growth happen and I need more dev resources!

Tech stack on this project is Lithium on PHP 5.4, MySQL, Apache, on EC2 with ELB, etc. We are open to embracing additional AWS (and other) solutions as we scale up.

I'm a back-end developer myself, and our small team has a terrific designer/front-ender and another back-ender. Compensation can be hourly or by monthly retainer, and there will be performance-based bonuses as we hit deadlines and deliver terrific features.

Please shoot me an email at joshchurgin at g mail dot com if this interests you. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I'm a web application engineer and independent programmer. I'm working as a developer because I like ideas behind websites and websites when they are simple, fast and easy to use. I'm self-taught and resourceful.

I'm a PHP and JS programmer, sometimes I also doing design or server administration. I know how to create a web-app from scratch and get it running on production. I'm confident to work in a team.
