SEEKING WORK - Remote (part-time), based in Brazil

I'm available for full-stack software development projects in Scala (Play Framework), C# (ASP.NET MVC), JavaScript (jQuery, jQuery Mobile).

I can help if you need a web application, a REST API over an existing application or database, or perhaps an extra hand to get a few user stories off your backlog.

I love developing software and I've been doing it for 28 years. I have completed several medium and large projects, most of them business applications with relational databases. On most of these projects I have been team lead and/or senior architect. Last year I was awarded by Microsoft as a Most Valuable Professional on the Azure cloud computing platform (http://goo.gl/LDGQYl).

Currently I'm working with Scala and Play Framework on the server and JavaScript on the client. I also have many years of experience in C# and ASP.NET MVC, good command of SQL and relational data modeling, and intermediary skills in Java, Python and Ruby. I'm familiar with Linux and Windows devops, cloud, agile practices, version control, RESTful APIs, single-page applications and several other practices and tools.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I have an entirely virtual software consultancy with developers on contract around the world. We have quite a bit of work, but not enough great developers. I have had good results from HN before.

Requirements: 1) Rails 2) Any Javascript framework (we use Ember, Angular and Meteor) 3) Testing. OMG. It's so hard to find developers who right integration or unit tests.

How we work: We have Hipchat for the team where we collaborate and help each other out. We have a project manager who does lots of the client interaction and translates bugs/features into granular user stories in Pivotal Tracker.

If you're interested, hit me up here: jevin+hn@quickjack.ca

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in UK)

Looking to get assurances on the security of your site or application? I will perform a thorough code and security audit for you and highlight any issues related to a) security b) code quality and c) robustness.

As part of the service, I will compile a report detailing each issue, the impact it may have on your business, and how to fix it.

I can then work with your developers to fix the issues, or optionally, fix the issues myself.

If you are interested please get in touch. I can also show you an example anonymised report that I recently compiled for a custom e-commerce solution to give you a sense of what my audit covers.

I look forward to hearing from you.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, based in SW Ontario, Canada

LinkedIn: http://ca.linkedin.com/in/zamkhan

Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.).

Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating a software application to drive the receive/transmit of a novel ultrasound transducer and then scan-convert the signal into an image in real-time.

Technical keywords: C# (WPF, WinForms), C++ (QT), Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, GPGPU, etc.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote or Buenos Aires

I am looking for a web designer for a start up who can implement designs using HTML/CSS and specifically Bootstrap. I'll take care of any client side programming.

I'm looking for a simple, flat design with careful use of color like the digitalocean.com control panel.

Of course your concerns about working for an unfunded start up are justified. I am certainly not an ideal client with a large budget, but I will pay on time.
