SEEKING WORK - London or remote.

Here are some things I've worked on lately:

Scalable recommendations engine - https://github.com/jamii/springer-recommendations

Concise pattern matching and parsing - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4902219 (now getting a call-site compiler in https://github.com/jamii/strucjure/)

Parallelizing a constraint solver - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6140653

Dev tools for writing gnome extensions in clojurescript - https://github.com/jamii/lein-gnome

I have a strong background in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I'm comfortable with clojure, python, erlang and ocaml and I learn fast.

I'm also interested in partnering with other freelance developers to cover the whole stack.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I'm based in NY (though you can be anywhere) and am looking for a freelancer to code with me on an enterprise HTML5 mobile application project. I'm looking for someone with good experience building single page apps with frameworks like Sencha Touch and Backbone.js. It would also be great if you were a Rails developer (though this is not a necessity) as the backend will be built as a Rails API server. The project will run for 3+ months and part-time would be workable. If this could work for you please contact me at barry[at]barrypeerless[dot]com. I look forward to connecting. Thanks!
