#132Companies hire me to fix up their codebase so everyone else can be more productive, or to build new features. Usually a combination of both.
I focus mostly on rich JavaScript apps with either a RoR or node.js backend, but I've worked iwth a laundry list of technologies. If you have any cool data to visualize, I've published a book on d3.js and have been jonesing for something interesting to do in that direction.

#134Experienced generalist not afraid to get his hands dirty and more than capable of coming in and getting things in order when things are ugly.
Primary strengths are on the back end, from restful services to distributed systems and scaling. Particular experience in embedded/constrained systems, security/PKI, image and video coding. Platform agnostic, primarily spend time in C/C++, Python, and NodeJS. I've spent time in other areas as well -- including devops, system administration, and the like.
I'm mostly am looking for projects that are either well defined, or if experimental/prototyped, we come up with a clear set of goals.
While Bay Area based, my schedule actually typically has good overlap w/ the East Coast and Europe.

#135Do you need help with a hardware project - circuit design or embedded software? Much of my recent work has been on wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, Wifi, Zigbee), but in the past I've written firmware and designed hardware for industrial machines and for robotic systems.
Please get in touch if you have a project you'd like to discuss.

#137We're doing some app analysis/forensics by looking at source code provided to us, and could use some help doing so.
Mobile app software research Role: Examine source code for a small number of mobile applications and develop an understanding of how they work. Develop high level diagrams and documents describing the logic flow of certain aspects of the applications.
Requirements: a computer science degree (or equivalent experience) with at least a 3-5 years of experience developing mobile apps on Android, iOS (and if possible Windows Phone). Need to commit to 20-40 hours of work per week during May and 5-10 hours per week through August. Work needs to be performed on-site at our office in Cambridge given the sensitivity of the code base.

#139Currently available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~7 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from design mocks.
In the past, I've worked with companies like Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes.
Looking for 10-20 hour per week engagements only right now.

#140Prontotype Inc. is looking for an iOS (with Android a huge plus) developer with UI/UX expertise to join our core team and design, build, and iterate on web and mobile apps for idea-stage startup founders.
Prontotype was founded to bridge the gap from idea to MVP as quickly and efficiently as possible. We are rapidly taking on new clients while maintaining current projects, and we are looking for a creative, experienced, multi-talented developer to further scale. We ship features weekly on a variety of projects and iterate and refine often, so the ideal candidate will be quick on their feet in a brainstorm, write extensible clean code, and communicate very well -- we have our own development frameworks that change as product needs evolve so interfacing well with us is an absolute must.
You will first be hired on a contract basis for a specific project. If we work well together there is opportunity for more down the road. We generate A LOT of work and can offer varied and exciting problem solving opportunities (think 2-5 simultaneous startup ideas) as time goes on -- Prontotype deals with new ideas almost every day! There is also a possibility for equity in some of our projects down the road depending on how things go.
Send inquiries to jobs@prontotype.us and tell us about yourself. Please include links or a portfolio of projects you have worked on (we are most impressed with apps you have shipped now on the App Store, frameworks you have made, pet projects you are proud of... things that show what you love to build!).
