The problem is that he edited his post after I posted my comment in order to conceal his pompous attitude that is ruining San Francisco and other great cities. http://i.imgur.com/lyTtxVf.png http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttps... "I'm very good and very expensive. You probably can't afford me" Well if the tech industry can't afford you, then you might want to become a lawyer, buddy. We don't…

Was anyone really offended/annoyed by that? He was just pointing out he wasn't cheap. I don't see a problem here?

SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.

Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK (50 minutes from London). I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality. I can build mobile and web apps as well as fun things involving custom hardware. I can build prototypes or full apps on my own but also happy to work as part of a team (and I have a bunch of great

people I work with if you need help putting together one).

I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV.

Some recent projects:

- The software and technical design for a "magic mirror" that was used at London Fashion Week. Behind the scenes it was built with 15 network Raspberry Pis with camera modules. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/london-fashion-week

- An iPad app for a medical company for quick lookup of drug interactions. This was built with HTML5 and made use of Angular.JS.

- A web app for a training company to provide complete courses online combing video, slides and quiz's.

- Lead developer on a team building a collaboration application featuring a RESTful API and browser and mobile clients. See

http://thisisdrum.com and see also a talk I gave on some of the tech[1]

- Head pose estimation from a video feed for a interactive store-window display (it superimposed masks over the faces of customers as they looked through the window)

I can show you more of any of these if you're interested.

Some fun stuff I've made recently:

- I solver written in Haskell for the regular expression crossword puzzle that was going round recently https://github.com/almost/regex-crossword-solver

- A location based app (works on desktop but mainly mobile): http://head2.me

- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js

- The Amazon Glacier support I contributed to Boto (popular Python library): https://github.com/almost/boto/tree/glacier/boto/glacier

I'd love to talk about your project. Please do get in touch!

SEEKING WORK - Mannheim, Germany - Remote or onsite

I'm an experienced software developer with a strong full-stack web background. I don't just build your app/site, I'll also help you put the concept together if need be, and I'm good at filling the blanks with underspecified projects.

Server-side (PHP, Ruby on Rails, Node.js), client-side (HTML5/CSS/JS), also C/C++, ObjectiveC (iOS and OS X development), Java, Ruby, Delphi and many other languages and technologies.

I offer scalability consulting for high-throughput web apps and can make MVPs very quickly.

My background is in working with advertising agencies and I have a biosciences education as well.

On a personal note, it’s been one month since I started transitioning away from my agency-based life into freelancing and it’s been an awesome experience so far. As a result of my post in the last HN freelancer thread, I had the opportunity to build many colorful things: a gambling website and exchange based on MMO money, a proof-of-concept Twilio web app in pure Node.js, a responsive Wordpres plugin that works with data from different Google services, a cool messenger app on iOS (with more platforms to follow), and a minimalistic intranet portal.

In large part due to the HN freelancer post, this past month has been a great start and I'm really glad I rediscovered how much fun it is to just make something. So: thank you!
