Frontend work for new and existing Django web apps

---

WE are Placemeter and we're looking for a frontend developer that can commit about 15 hours per week. We are graduates of the TechStars accelerator, are backed by top investors in New York, Silicon Valley, and Paris, and need a frontend expert to join our great team of backend engineers, computer vision scientists, and designers. Read more about us: http://placemeter.com/about

YOU will work with us to build the frontend for a user account dashboard to display account status, user data, settings and options.

This is a Django web app. We will provide pixel-perfect PSD designs and interaction requirements. Frameworks we're currently using at the frontend level are SASS, Foundation and jQuery, but we can be flexible with these.

While your focus will be on frontend development (HTML/CSS/JS), some familiarity with Python and Django is a big plus. You'll need to at least learn the basics of Django/Python to do effective work. This would be ideal for someone with mostly frontend experience who wants to learn a bit more about fullstack development.

  REQUIRED SKILLS
  +CSS
  +HTML
  +Django-Framework
  +Javascript
  +jQuery
  +(experience with PSD conversion a plus)

Send us your info

We have several other projects in the pipeline, and would love to develop an ongoing relationship with the right candidate.

MVP Ruby on Rails Consulting and Development

-----------------------------------------

I'm a product consultant who enjoys working one-on-one with entrepreneurs to take an idea, shape it into a product, and then build the MVP with Ruby on Rails. My projects are driven by regular communication and feedback from you.

* Consultation & Project Plan: $500

* Development: $2k/week, $500/day

Rails Testing Consulting

---------------------

You don't write tests for your Rails apps, and it's starting to hurt. The time you dedicate to debugging mysterious errors could be better spent confidently adding new features. Unfortunately, you don't have the time to figure it out on your own.

I can review your Rails app and put together a re-testing plan, train you or a team on how to test, and work with you to re-test your app.

* Rails Testing Audit and Plan: $500

* Rails Testing Mentorship: $500/month

* Rails Retesting: $2k/week
