SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote but a plus if you are in or near NYC

I need a talented, independent front-end Ruby developer who has experience with Liquid Markup and/or SCSS to create sites for Democratic political campaigns using Nationbuilder.

You should be able to have the ability and desire to work relatively independently.

If you're interested or have questions, drop me a line at msrpotus @ gmail with your hourly or daily rate.

SEEKING WORK - Remote Preferred, Light Travel - Will disclose location upon request (Continental USA, major tech city).

Led and closed the only financing round as the VP of Analytical Operations for a medium-sized professional gambling syndicate. While working for aforementioned syndicate, I led the merger of our firm with another small group (talent acquisition) and hired an additional 10+ employees, expanded to two overseas offices when UIEGA passed in the United States, and developed all of the back-end internal tools that were used to analyze opportunities in various gambling markets: Sports Betting, Casino Games (Blackjack Variants, Slots, Roulette, etc), and Horse Racing.

Sold my shares after UIEGA made it difficult to stay in one place in the USA with regards to moving money around. Still work as a part-time consultant from time to time for the original firm as well as other clients. Had stints as a contractor and FTE at major tech firms on the west coast as well as small startups. Have done consulting work for professional sports teams on tech and non-tech projects, including building a massive video capture database of games tied with metadata as well as complex simulators to influence player development and acquisition decisions.

Previous positions included: Director of Business Intelligence, Lead Developer, Economic Games Analyst, and most recently, Data Scientist.

OSS: Minor contributor to hiphop-php and a famous PHP framework. Tech: PHP, Python, C/C++ (enough to get me through ML work, relying on FANN often), MySQL/MariaDB, minor sysadmin chops, minor shell scripting

Primarily a very good business/economic analyst who has medium-strength tech backgrounds. Melds well with existing teams. Consider myself a professional problem solver using various tools - frequentist/Bayesian statistics, machine learning, coding, data analysis, regression, etc.

Holds an undergraduate degree from a small private university in Economics (Game Theory focus) with some post-graduate work (no degree) in Computer Science.

More details can be given upon request. Very active on HN but needing to use a throwaway for security reasons, as disclosing even a redacted work history may not be safe on my primary account.

Rates negotiable. Very little to no equity desired.

FWIW, I had a few interactions with roland over a github pull request for a project I maintain, he seems to really grok open source and to be a straight to the point and professional guy.

For those SEEKING WORK, especially remote, are you getting (serious) inquiries from HN?

Nothing yet, last time I posted I had a few people asking me to co tact them for ROR and JS work. They said their contact details were in their profile, so I can only guess that they had a twisted sense of humor?

Many people think that the email addresses in their profiles are visible to other people.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or in-person (Austin, TX). We are looking to ramp up for the second half of 2013. We currently have bandwidth of 190-225 hours/month. We specialize in backend utilizing Django web development (web sites & web applications) and increasingly full-stack development.

We help non-technical founders get their ideas off the ground.
