I can and will work on front-end. Would prefer you had some personal connection with projects. Could end up as startup.

SEEKING FREELANCER – remote I need assistance in creating a database / statistical analysis of Lego pieces. You are free to use the tool(s) of your choice. Here’s a brief description of the project: 1. For each Lego piece, find the minimum dimensions (x,y,z) of a cube that it would fit into. Round up to the nearest millimeter. 2. Analyze the distribution of the cubes, for example: “there are # pieces that fit into a…

It sounds like perhaps you are referring to cuboids [1] or some other three-dimensional shape, as cubes would have equal edge lengths - so you couldn't have an 11x10x10 cube.

SEEKING WORK - New York City - remote or local - projects of any length

I'm an illustrator and game designer, always looking for new games or apps to help create.

Games: I did all the art and UI for Optia (http://bederstudios.com/optia), an award-winning iOS puzzle game. I've also done game art and design for Microsoft Game Studios, Atari, MIT Game Lab, and others.

Illustration: I've done drawings and paintings for national newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times and the LA Times. My work has been repeatedly recognized by the Society of Illustrators and American Illustration, and has been featured on prominent industry sites including Illustration Age, Illustration Friday, and Behance.

I'm fluent in many graphics programs (PS, AI, InDesign, 3ds max) and can learn new ones quickly. I'm very familiar with version control and project management software. Some experience modifying code in Lua and Objective-C.

My portfolio site is http://naftalibeder.com.

Feel free to contact me at naftalibeder@gmail.com. Thanks!

SEEKING FREELANCERS - Remote but UK and London based strongly preferred

I am looking for two separate freelancer-types to help with some overbooked client work of mine.

First, I need a fairly junior PHP + frontend developer. It would be grand if you had CodeIgniter experience, extra-grand if you had ExpressionEngine experience, but neither of those is required.

Second, I am looking for a mid-level to senior web designer. Front-end development skills preferred but not required.

Get in touch at my username at gmail, be sure to include your rate!

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Over 5 years of experience in product startups with focus on system design. I take care of entire backend architecture from design, POCs, Performance testing, implementation and production roll-out.

Also, Migration, setting up backup, monitoring and other systems if required.

(Major) Skills: Python, ML/NLP/Analytics, Hadoop, Cassandra, Postgres/MySQL, EC2, S3, Django

I specialize in,

    Backend/Python development — POCs, rapid prototypes, load/performance testing etc.

    Server side/DB performance optimizations & design to scale.

    Big Data consulting — Hadoop Ecosystem + Cassandra. Have evaluated Mongo, Couchbase, Riak, DynamoDB, EMR and redshift as well for client requirements. More importantly, I have a fairly strong understanding of distributed systems, CAP theorem, and experience in using these systems, which enables me to quickly shortlist datastore candidates based on the application requirements and financial/architectural constraints before spending more time and $$$ on load testing/POCs.

    Devops on Linux servers/EC2


    NLP/ML/Data Science Consulting — Sentiment Analysis, NER, Classification,Clustering,Statistical modelling

(shameless plug) We recently launched a new version of http://www.myrudis.com . It's a new take on the freelance marketplace model with key, important differences. Freelancers, keep 100% of your income. Most importantly, SPAM issues are obliterated. You'll no longer drown in bids from individuals who didn't even read the project description. Employers, find freelancers who are really serious about the gig. Hopefully…

Hey, I'm getting a HTTP 500 error if I click on "New Project" link (logged in), as you can see here : http://i.imgur.com/Nx17N7p.png
