  Location: Germany
  Remote: Good to have
  Willing to relocate: In/around Berlin, yes. Otherwise, depends on the offer.
  Technologies: Javascript (frontend and serverside), C++, Qt, browser APIs, MongoDB (more in the CV)

Resume: http://adityabhatt.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/mycv.pdf

Email: aditya@bhatts.org

Looking for companies that write technologically interesting software. If you are writing a collaborative text editing system, for example. I have deep knowledge of the quirks and features of modern browser APIs.

I am a generalist and most of my work is reviewable and open source, some of which is on Github [1]. I do not marry myself to a specific framework or stack, but currently use Javascript primarily. I can occasionally do the long hours stretch but prefer a good work-like balance and enjoy my time off. I can work without ego issues and with a cool head.

I have a bunch of good experience in designing document editing systems from scratch, and have special experience in writing eventually consistent collaborative editing tools using OT, being one of the primary developers of WebODF [2].

I can write a rich collaborative editing engine for you, but cannot properly live-code in a collabedit interview session due to performance anxiety - writing software should be a craft and not a stage show. If you can understand that and trust my open source experience, email me and we can talk.

Born, growing up.

Multi-faceted web developer, able to effectively communicate at every level from the CEO to the young intern, and with every specialist from the graphic designer to the backend developer.

My top specialization is in UX – but not graphic – design, which I just can't think of without a Mobile First approach. I'm also a natural born catalyst when it comes to good ideas and the next tech trends, bringing a creative and focused drive to the table of every team I've been part of.

Always in the process of learning the next skill. Excellent command of written English, professional work proficiency in spoken English.

Able to seamlessly switch from being a team manager to becoming yet another dev in another team, and working 110% in either situation for the common goal.

You: need someone with Ruby on Rails or Erlang skills. I also actually enjoy working in C, but it's seldom easy to justify doing so. I've been doing the web thing for nearly 15 years, so I understand it fairly well, and have worked with a bunch of other languages like Tcl, Python, PHP, Perl, Java, Javascript and so on.

Me: US citizen currently in Italy, relocating to Boulder or Ft. Collins, Colorado at some point over the next year.

My wife, just in case anyone has any contacts/connections/knowledge: Phd in biochemistry and interested in getting a foot in the door doing proteomics/protein purification/mass spectometry in industry. There are a bundle of Rails jobs in Colorado, so I'm not too worried about my own prospects, but if I helped her find something, I would be extremely happy.

Des Moines, IA | Relocation: Yes | Full Time

Fullstack developer - Ideally looking to work more on the backend but I am flexible.

Backend: Node.js, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. PHP (Haven't done anything interesting in PHP in well over a year) - Laravel & CI. Recently started learning Go. Some Java.

Frontend: JavaScript [angular, backbone, jQuery, etc], grunt, bower, SASS (or LESS)

Other: Very comfortable in *nix, bash scripting, nginx/apache, and general server/database administration. I've briefly used both vagrant and docker.

Me: I graduated in May with a degree in biology. Why? I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I've been programming since I was nine or ten years old, I first started using GWBASIC on my dad's IBM 286. I've tinkered with a lot of languages since then. After deciding against pursuing med school at the beginning of my junior year I became the technical co-founder of a healthcare technology company focused on streamlining consumer product distribution. Now I'm looking for a position where I can work on difficult problems with people smarter than myself who I will be able to learn from.

Looking for work in interesting companies that need help with their marketing (growth stage), data (what they can do with it) and business (models and revenue streams).

I am a Creative Strategist helping companies to grow and connect better with their customers. This is done in a variety of different ways from helping companies understand what they can do with their data to setting up partnerships to branding strategy to business modelling and so on...

This week I'm working with Amnesty International running a social media marketing campaign for them gathering opinions on internet rights and digital censorship. I'm also an advisor/mentor to startups at the University of Oxford, at the Launchpad labs incubator and for several charities. I also help to organise different hackathons so my network is quite diverse and whilst I'm in a marketing and business strategy role, I have a tech background in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Statistics and data.
