#152Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not sure when it changes, but the usual explanation (by Americans themselves) of this US-only remote thing is that they afraid of dealing with the people who are not easily suable.
In our case, the explanation is even simpler. Most of our work is for local devs, where the clients prefer to be able to meet the freelancer face-to-face occasionally. Even for a project where most of the work will be done remotely, kick-off meetings and in-person collaboration is still valuable.
Of course it is valuable, but why limit the choices a priori? Let your clients choose by themselves, maybe some of them will prefer to sacrifice face-to-face meetings in exchange for finding the best candidate...

#153SEEKING WORK - remote, based in Connecticut
I'm a web developer and designer (4+ years), and work out of my own shop, Heta (http://heta.co). I primarily develop, design, and customize WordPress themes, or convert PSD designs or sites built with HTML/CSS/jQuery to WordPress. I'm also building an app and run my own server as a hobby, so I've gathered alot of useful, practical knowledge along the way.
I've worked on complex sites for digital agnecies (30+ templates, 25+ plugins), as well as on smaller sites for small businesses/individuals (10 templates, 10 plugins).
Technologies I use: PHP, HTML, CSS/LESS/SASS, jQuery, CodeIgniter, WordPress, mySQL, ZURB Foundation (3/4/5), Bootstrap, SVN or Git for version control, Fogbugz or Sifter for issue tracking, HipChat to stay in touch. Self-taught and resourceful.
Reach out to me at: hn [at] heta [dot] co (not com). I can send you links to live sites I've developed, sites I've converted to WP, etc. I'm usually around from 9-6 Eastern Time, so drop me a line if I can help.

#155SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area / Remote - Long or Short Term Consultation
I am a Product Designer (Interaction Design/UI/UX). I have experience relevant to products from iOS & Android to Large Web Platforms. I typically consult on or perform the following:
* Product management - strategy, best practices, team building, implementation.
* Product design - strategy, best practices, team building, process, interaction design, ui design, iconography.
* Front end dev - I tend to build most things I spec at the very least to a minimum in which there is no chance of fidelity loss from prototype to final product. I've also setup processes for growing teams and established best practices for new hires.

#156SEEKING WORK (remote or DFW, TX area only)
I just ended 2 years with media search engine start up whose stack was based on Django, Python, and Apache Solr. I spent most of my time creating the backend API to communicate with Youtube, Hulu, Itunes, and other sites. I first created it in python (Tornado), but the latency was apparently too high so I rewrote it in Go.
I also wore a devops hat and wrote bash scripts to provision vagrant VMs and setup our continuous deployment/integration with Jenkins CI. All this being integrated with hipchat of course. All of our code was tested, and can bet I took advantage of REST (HATEOAS namely made problems simpler).
I also learned to have a bit more pragmatism and profile my code, instead of polishing every piece as if it were a diamond ;)
Recently I'm loving Haskell the most, but I've always had a soft spot for schemes and lisps. Clojure is something I'm eventually going to be hacking on.
Ideally I'd like something to do with functional programming, but I still enjoy doing web development and using python.
In the past I have written in: HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, Perl, C (small amounts), C++ (even less), Visual Basic, C#, Java, Ruby, Python, Cython, Go, Racket, Chicken Scheme, Nimrod, Lisp, Racket, Haskell, and Elm.
