Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2014)

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based in Rio, available to travel.

I'm a junior developer with the most experience at the frontend (JavaScript and CoffeeScript), however now I'm heavily invested in and mostly looking for work in Clojure and ClojureScript, be it backend, frontend or non-web systems. I am entirely capable of desiging and architecting sytems and libraries on my own, but I'm also keen on working with remote teams.

I'm currently knee-deep in ClojureScript + Nodejs (working on a curses UI lib and cli tools), see some ongoing open source work of mine over at https://github.com/longstorm

As well as my general github, https://github.com/goldfeld

You can get in touch at vic@longstorm.org

SEEKING WORK, New York/Brooklyn, remote or onsite

I am a generalist whose most extensive experience is with Javascript & Ruby on Rails. I've also worked with tons of other languages, frameworks and environments (e.g. Python, Django, Express, Racket/Scheme). Most recently I was at TechStars for their hackstar/hacker in residence program. The work I did there included projects like monitoring pages for Docker instances for a Docker hosting company & private data repositories for a Github for scientific data company. Prior to TechStars I did a full re-write of a production storage & logistics app for a 5 year old business while simultaneously teaching the entrepreneur to code & teaching him Ruby/Rails. That project also included an Angular.js app. I'm also very excited about Ember.js.

Typically I work full stack. I have practiced TDD in the past but usually I code first & then write tests that leave me confident essential use cases & core functionality are covered. 100% test coverage is a great idea but I am not accustomed to the type of deadlines or large teams that facilitate 100% test coverage actually happening.

The one thing I value in code above all else (other than the code actually working and meeting your deadline) is readability. If you can read & understand the code base, you can optimize it when necessary and you can fix bugs when necessary. Coders should be good communicators. I believe my work teaching others to code speaks to my communication skills.

Currently looking for part time engagements, 20-25 hours a week, to accommodate other projects/commitments.

SEEKING WORK -- Remote or local. I'm based out of nowhere in particular, and like to travel to interesting places.

Full stack software engineer with 6+ years experience and a math background. Mostly I do heavy lifting in Java and Clojure. I've worked on complicated cloud pipelines, full-stack web apps, and in a past life, high volume, near real-time distributed trade processing applications for a Big Finance Company. I've also done work with parsing, domain specific languages, full-stack web development, custom high-speed message queues, and security and encryption. I like to solve hard problems.
