Front-end web developer and designer focusing on responsive design. I can also do some light back-end work with Python and Flask, if you don't need anything too serious.
I'm interested in working with startups, local businesses, and creatives.
Check out my portfolio and get in touch with me at http://raddevon.com/.

Independent developer for the last several years, with many years of experience in many tech areas. Contracted/consulted to multiple startups based in USA and India. Earlier worked for large well-known US software product and Indian software services companies.
Skills: Good - Python, C, Linux, UNIX, many open source technologies, databases, XML-RPC, PDF programming, file and data format conversion, data munging, command-line utility development. Some: Flask, MongoDB, Bottle, various others.
Worked on Ruby, Rails and Java earlier. Server lead / senior engineer for two commercial Rails-based dot-com products earlier, by US companies. One of them was TaskBin - http://taskbin.com - for the first version.
Databases worked on: Oracle, Sybase, Informix, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, HSQLDB, MS-Access. Used (relational) databases in practically all projects I've worked on.
Did a lot of UNIX support and successful troubleshooting for years (some years earlier), still have some of those skills, which are useful in development too. Had many times recovered clients' data from corrupted file systems or crashed machines (with no backups :), using various tricks of the trade learnt on the job, and solved various other software problems, often involving various interacting software components (from OS level through language compilers to application programs and databases). Wrote lots of utilities in C and UNIX shell tools (sed, awk, grep and friends) to automate various tasks (for both users and developers), convert data between various formats from one platform to another, etc.
Not really looking for full-time UNIX / Linux admin work now, mentioning it as a possible value-add, depending on the job required.
Worked on a best-selling retail banking product (much earlier, in C with proprietary DB and UI libs). Team leader for a database middleware product widely used in client projects by a top software services company.

Article by me about "Developing a Linux command-line utility" (in C) was published on IBM developerWorks and translated by IBM into Chinese and Japanese for those versions of their site. Some organizations have developed production command line tools using that article as a guide.

could you plz specify why not? I mean if I apply and get interviewed and do a trial project only to be told at the end that I am not young enough, I'd be very disappointed. Isn't it better to mention upfront that they need someone young and energetic? (I don't have much experience hiring, so may be someone can fill me why it is considered to be a bad practice.)
Looking for JavaScript developers to work on web application for startup based in NYC.
You will need to be able to collaborate very closely with other software engineers on a frequent basis. We are ideally interested in people in the NYC area who would be interested in coming to an office to work on this.
You are smart, creative, and inquisitive. You are a meticulous, driven developer with an eye for design. You also strive for eloquence, performance, and lightness.
Responsibilities:
- Development of core server-side and client-side JavaScript functionality
- Experience with server-side JavaScript (Node.js and Express)
- *OR*
- Client-side JavaScript development with MVC frameworks such as Backbone.js
- Experience with templating languages (ejs, mustache, etc.), HTML 5, and CSS 3
- Experience with database systems such as MongoDB and Redis
- Experience with message queues such as RabbitMQ and Celery
- Experience with Git and collaborative coding
- Experience with test driven development in Node.js
- Experience with Ubuntu/EC2 development environment
- (Nice to have) experience with tools such as Angular.js and CoffeeScript
Data-centric developer, currently immersed in Python after a lengthy and generally happy career with OO Perl, and past lives in Java and C -- involving, among other things, a fair amount of web crawling & data modeling, DML/DDL on various SQL platforms, and occasional frontend / backend web development. Available for part-time / full-time freelance engagements until Spring of 2014, and perhaps for permanent positions thereafter.
On other fronts -- U.S. citizen; NYC resident; hard science degree. I don't come from a formal Machine Learning background, but having done a bit of work in NLP & sentiment analysis, I'd be highly motivated to take on opportunities to build out my skills in this area. I also like being challenged to learn (interesting) languages at the drop of a hat, and would be keenly interested in diving into (for example) Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell, Go, R, or Julia. In any case, most of my work in the past few years has involved "data husbandry" to a significant degree, and I'd very much like to keep investing in this general direction (but a lucid web development project can potentially be quite interesting, also).
BTW, I'll be at PyData this weekend if you'd like to meet up spontaneously & chat; otherwise, just drop me a short note describing what you're working on, & what you're looking for in a collaborator (beyond the usual keyword filler), & we'll take it from there.
Thanks!
