SEEKING WORK - REMOTE or have meeting in SF. (Full Stack Rails, iOS)

My name is Charles, I lead a small, nimble team with a ton of full stack Ruby & Rails and Mobile experience. We have done many projects dealing payments, marketplaces, and social networking apis.

We can work on the LAMP stack also. (YI, Laravel) More than happy to dive into JS framework like React.js, Angular.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in Baltimore, MD)

I'm a technical marketer, and I help companies do the following:

- Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).

- Turn more visitors into users, leads, or customers (aka, conversion optimization).

I do this with any or all of the following, depending on your unique case: Funnel analysis, conversion optimization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns and automated emails, content planning, and usability studies.

What makes me different from most marketing consultants:

- I can roll up my sleeves and write code when needed. This saves you design and development time on small optimization improvements. (HTML/CSS, basic JS and jQuuery, Github).

- I'm certified in Optimizely, the A/B testing tool.

- I come from an engineering background (naval engineering), so I love solving real problems (by "real" I mean things that directly impact your revenue).

SEEKING WORK - Columbus Ohio, remote and local projects

My consulting firm specializes in iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X app development, we have about 5 years experience working on both the iOS and OS X platforms. We accept projects of any size, and provide maintenance services for existing apps that need anything from minor style changes or iOS 7/8 feature updates, to a complete overhaul.

We also provide backend server development and management services for apps that need a new one, or have outgrown their existing solution.

A selection of case studies for projects we've worked on are available on the website (http://infincia.com/consulting). Some have been featured on Lifehacker, The Verge, The Unofficial Apple Weblog and various other high profile websites.

I personally have 5+ years of experience writing Objective-C, C, and Javascript, 7 years experience writing Python, and 8 years writing CSS and HTML. I've also been a Linux and FreeBSD administrator for about 8 years, and have used and deployed MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Memcached, Nginx, HAProxy and various other server systems in production.

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 write integration or unit tests. How we work: We have Hip…

Could you share your wisdom - how do you find clients, so you have more work than developers?

I'll be entirely honest, it's a referral and relationship business. There is no magic. I've cold called (and cold emailed) digital agencies to partner with them. This has given us only a few clients but multiple projects.

Through coworking spaces, volunteering for other (non-technology) organizations led to two projects. I'd love to chat for half an hour if you want ideas: http://sohelpful.me/jevy

+1 for having a unique value prop.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Django Developer - Remote okay (within 4 hours of London time preferable)

Wildfish - http://wildfish.com

We're a London based consulting collective looking for a Django developer to help us out on some ongoing projects, typically building web apps for startups or client sites. Ideally we're hoping to build up relationships with people who may like to dip in and out of things as needed, so it's fine if you can't commit full time right now (although also fine if you can!).

We're looking for a Django specialist, although it would be a bonus if you're comfortable enough with some front end bits too. We mostly all work remotely these days and keep in touch via Slack. Ideally we'd like someone who can set their working day to roughly 4 hours within that of London time.

Some of the things we use:

- Python/Django [Essential]

- HTML/CSS/Javascript

- Twitter Bootstrap

- PostgreSQL

- Ubuntu Linux Server Administration

- TDD, django-webtest

- Ember, Angular

- Docker

You'll be working autonomously a fair bit, so it's important that you're the sort of person who has attention to detail and can read requirements carefully.

Please email work@wildfish.com, including 3 of your favourite Django apps and the rate you're looking for.

Thanks!
