SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps.

Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB.

Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

I emailed out the last time this was posted, and haven't heard anything back other than "we'll reach out to you soon".

I signed up on the website last month and haven't received a reply either. It would be good to know if it's a yes, a no or a maybe.

Apologies to both of you!

If I haven't gotten back to you, then you're on our waitlist. I've been scheduling interviews with folks on the waitlist as quickly as possible, but we're actually getting applicants faster than I can respond to them. We're working on streamlining the process and are getting faster at it each week.

We are working with a few dev shops. Most of our clients are looking for individual freelancers right now, but occasionally we speak with someone that would be better served by a team. So we can certainly chat.

nice, have sent you a quick email. Are there any specific skills/areas you are urgently looking at?

Ruby, Python, and PHP are the most popular languages. Front and backend web dev are roughly equally popular, but web dev is much more popular than native mobile (the split is around 80/20). We also get some interest in dev ops (chef is a little more popular than puppet, maybe 60/40).

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco,CA (Remote or Local) - rob@houseofatomi.com

I'm a SF based designer and front-end developer with a passion for clean, understandable user experiences. My background is in design (specifically architecture), but I believe in being able to build what I design, which allows me to have the technology constraints in mind from the project outset.

Skills include the standard Photoshop/Illustrator and HTML/CSS/SCSS w/Compass/LESS/jQuery. I have experience with a variety of platforms including Magento and dabble in more heavy development work (backbone, Rails, etc) as necessary. I also have experience setting up server environments, mostly with AWS.

Public Portfolio: www.houseofatomi.com Additional work available by email upon request.

SEEKING FREELANCER - San Francisco or Remote Priceonomics has two freelance openings. 1) Developer to help our blog Priceonomics is looking for a developer to help make some improvements to our blog. We have an internal CMS that needs a few improvements to make it easier for our writers. We also need to make a number of front end improvements to improve the design and reader experience. Python, Django, AWS, d3.js, jQ…

I have 2 years experience with web development and in recent time I have done exactly the second thing you need. I have written python scripts for product price identification as an alternative for google shopping api. So I can help with either of the two.
