SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area - Remote or Local

Software Developer specializing in Web and Data Engineering, freelancing while I build my startup. I spent three years as a Data Analyst, then quit and taught myself to code. I've only been freelancing for six months, so I'm willing to work at a discount while I build up my portfolio. I'm also open to bartering.

Skills: Ruby/Rails, TDD, SQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, Python, R, Machine Learning, Project Management, Git, Linux/Unix, AWS, Heroku

Production experience: Everything associated with large Rails projects, web crawling, data pipelines, APIs, data analysis, product management

Side projects: I've built some apps in Node (Express, Meteor), and I compete in Kaggle Data Science competitions when I have time (http://www.kaggle.com/users/30845/dpmehta02). I am particularly interested in NLP.

I do full stack web dev, with either Clojure or Ruby/Rails. I did Rails work full time for about the last year, and have been working in Clojure for my side projects for the last few years. I like writing clean, testable, composable, pure functions where possible in whatever language I happen to be working in. I can build a basic responsive UI with bootstrap, but I'm not much of a designer, and I'm decent at Javascript (and Clojurescript), but prefer backend work.

Buzzword bingo:

    Ruby, Rails, TDD
    Clojure, Clojurescript, Ring, Compojure, Datomic
    HTML/CSS/Javascript/CoffeeScript
    Postgres, SQL
    AWS, Heroku

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Coimbatore, India)

---

I have over 6 years of experience designing logos and building websites for a wide range of clients from across the globe. Thanks to this, I have built up a solid foundation in branding fundamentals and front-end development which I'll be putting to good use when working with you on your projects.

I'm also excited about web apps and the backend which has led me to become quite familiar with the workings of Nginx, Node.js and MongoDB. I'm keenly interested in gaining more experience in this area so please get in touch if you're building on this stack.

My design portfolio is up at dffrnt.com and you can reach me on my email, vijay at dffrnt.com

SEEKING FREELANCER - Rogers Media (Toronto, Canada)

Located in the downtown Toronto campus of Rogers Communications, Rogers Media is actively seeking a freelance web developer with strong PHP / WordPress knowledge and exceptional front-end (JavaScript / jQuery / CSS3) skills for an initial three-month contract, with the opportunity to turn that into much more.

Our technology stack is split between WordPress (PHP/MySQL, hosted within the company) and Ruby On Rails. Our mission is to architect, create and assist the growth of brands of the likes of Sportsnet, Maclean's, Citytv, 680 News and Chatelaine, plus literally nearly a hundred others.

Despite a couple of tough years for the media industry, Rogers Media remains committed to making a name for itself for having the best digital division in the Canadian media landscape. We're steadily growing our web and mobile development teams, and like in any time of uncertainty and change, there's enormous opportunity to do amazing new things. I think 2014 is going to be a great year for us.

Shoot me an e-mail at sully.syed@rci.rogers.com and we'll talk.
