#2I design and build native iPhone and iPad apps. Most of these are distributed through the App Store but in some cases they’re only used within a company, as a tool for sales people or to work with custom hardware. I’ve been building apps for over 3 years. I’ve done every part of the process myself: starting with initial concepts then designing the interface, writing code, and submitting apps to the Apple App Store.
Most of my apps are under NDA but I've recently released a sailing weather forecast decoder: http://teakmobile.com/mafor
I've also done:
- daily deals apps
- robot controller over wifi
- custom SFDC sales scheduling and mapping iPad app
- v1.0 of a chat client with millions of users
- long-term care assessment iPad app
- real-time wi-fi automotive data collection and visualization app
Also available for App Store Submission, Beta Test Management, Code & App Store Consulting and Training.

#3Front end, back end - just as happy with either, or both!
* HTML, CSS, JS, responsive design, bootstrap etc etc
* PHP (Codeigniter mainly but happy with others)
* Titanium for iOS & Android dev (also have PhoneGap experience)
I've been playing with Node & AngularJS too, and would like a chance to use them in anger.
Also happy to do the odd bit of work in exchange for other benefits - flights to NY/SF, accommodation in Europe and suchlike. Though cold, hard cash is good too :)

#4Jack-of-all-trades iOS app developer. My most popular app, a music composition tool, was featured on www.apple.com/education and was the #87 highest grossing iPad app in the U.S. on launch day. I'm hyper-focused on not wasting time, communicating effectively, and being honest about time, scope, and costs.
I'm a recent graduate, and I have not done freelancing since high school. So I'm offering my services for $45/hr for up to 50 hr/wk in order to build up my resume quickly.
Skills:
* Objective-C, C, JavaScript (familiar with AngularJS, Node.js, and Backbone.js), Java, Ruby, Haskell, HTML, CSS, MySQL
* Xcode/Instruments, Photoshop, Git
See my LinkedIn below for more details about my experience, or email me for my resume.

#5Full stack developer, primarily fronted
In the last few years I've spent most of my time on mobile web apps (Senior/Architect roles), now after becoming a freelancer/product owner (http://cutterslounge.de) a year ago I also (again, I have a strong Python-Web background) spend a lot of time doing backend, primarily Python APIs with Postgres and Mysql.
I love clean code, consider automated tests as part of any software development, I'm obsessed with optimising the user experience and I don't deploy/setup manually.
Primary skills: * Javascript * Python * Mobile web development
Tools I often use and other skills: * AWS (EC2, RDS) * Ansible (server setup, deployment) * Backbone.Marionette
Github: http://github.com/sebslomski Email: sebastian@purelabs.de Website/CV: http://sebslomski.com
Team: My co-founder is offering his design skills as well, preferably together as a team (that's how we usually work, and have worked for the past 4 years). But this is optional.
Portfolio: Most of my clients hire me/us for short term projects (many of them prototypes, proof-of-concept and demos). As this is usually under NDA, I'm not allowed to list them. BUT, take a look at our product Cutters Lounge (http://cutterslounge.de), where all of our knowledge is combined. Also: http://sebslomski.com/#about-me
Fluent in German and English.

#8I've building apps with Python for over 4 years, mainly with Django as framework, but I also worked with: tornado server, rabbitmq, postgresql, mysql, mongodb, redis, elasticsearch and neo4j. I've some experience working with frontend techonologies too, some javascript/jquery and a bit of CSS.
I'm slowly transitioning to ML/NLP technologies. I enjoy dealing with data and finding patterns in it. I've been playing a bit with R and with some great python libraries: pandas, scikit-learn and nltk.

#10Marketing Consultant. Increase your conversion rate.
What I can do for you: SEO optimization (focus is on content marketing, not "include keyword here"), email marketing, landing page marketing (includes copy, wire-framing for variations, design/html/css), a/b testing (for landing pages, emails, ads), PR mentions and pitching.
Other activities available, but depends on what you currently have and/or approve based on my recommendations.
Work can be as one-time project or ongoing monthly partnership. Work can tracked using a monthly KPI sheet to watch over conversion rate plus related metrics.
* Short on-site gigs (only in Europe, mostly UK/London) available, depending on contract.
