SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

Location: Rochester, NY Remote: OK Start date: 07/2015

We are looking for an experienced back-end developer to help us design and implement the server-side solution for a quantified-self web application.

The major goals of the app (to be completed by the developer) are as follows:

- Design and implement (in collaboration with front-end developers) an API for data communication. - Receive data from the device and store on the server. - Run data analysis scripts (written in Python) on the received data and save the results in a database (MongoDB). The Python scripts are written by the data analysts and will be provided. - Add transaction logging capability to the server. - Help us decide on the best strategy for log data analysis.

Qualifications: - Proven track record of web app development and delivering results reliably. - We would prefer to do the development using Python web frameworks (Django or Flask), but this is not a firm requirement. - Experience with SQL and MongoDB. - Provide progress updates and results on a regular basis.

This work is an ongoing collaboration between Rochester Institute of Technology and industry on a quantified-self device and provides a very good opportunity to expand your portfolio.

If interested, email mxheen@rit.edu with your Github account, a short explanation of why you're interested and any links to previous relevant experience.

SEEKING WORK - Thailand / remote only

I'm a software developer with 6 years of experience. I've mastered many technologies, and enjoy learning new things. I'm most familiar with Ruby on Rails, Postgres, MySQL, Javascript/HTML/CSS, Backbone.js, Go, Swift, and Objective C.

Some testing libraries that I love working with:

Ruby: RSpec, Capybara, VCR, TimeCop

JavaScript: Mocha, expect.js, sinon.js

iOS: Quick + Nimble (Swift), KIF, OHHTTPStubs

I'm not as proficient with the following languages/frameworks, but I have some experience with: Elixir, Phoenix, Haskell, Clojure, React, React Native, AngularJS. (Mostly toy projects.)

If you work with any of these technologies, I would like to offer my services at a lower rate until I get up to speed, i.e. as a junior developer. I pick things up very quickly, especially if you already have an established codebase.

I also have a lot of DevOps experience. I'm proficient with:

AWS - VPC, EC2, S3, IAM, Route 53, CloudFront, Elastic Transcoder, SNS, Lambda

Configuration Management: Chef, SaltStack, Ansible

PaaS / BaaS: Heroku, Parse

Another thing I would like to mention is that I really enjoy is tracking down difficult bugs. Some developers hate them, but I see them as super fun puzzles, and I don't stop until they're solved. I'm proficient with a wide variety of profiling and debugging tools. So let me know if you're stuck on anything, and would like some help.

SEEKING FREELANCER - currently Seattle but likely moving to Portland in the future, and remote work is definitely possible.

I'm currently working on the side on a project, but planning to go full time on it within 6 months or so. My partner and I are working on a fairly ambitious MVP, some of which involves native front end development in which I'm inexperienced. I can do the work, but my iteration time is pretty suboptimal. Since we've got a few soft-committed potential customers, we're looking to outsource some of the front end work to speed it all up.

I'm looking for someone with substantial experience with the Xamarin platform AND/OR (preferably AND) Windows Universal development. I value people who know how to keep a code base small and share as much as possible across platforms. If you happen to know F# very well, then that is a huge plus, although not required (I would much rather work with F# than C#, but I realize the infrastructure is pretty immature to rely on).

Known knowns about our architecture: Postgres database and Play Framework in Scala for a service backend (including both REST and web sockets) hosted on AWS.

Pretty sure about our architecture, and what we need help with: a fairly complex Windows Universal pure touch app with some limited (likely USB-based) hardware interaction, communicating with the web service. Smaller and much simpler Xamarin mobile apps (iOS and Android definitely, WinPhone too but a lower priority) also communicating with the web service.

About me: I come from a very non-traditional development background...educated in Supply Chain Management and learning code to be able to do my very analytics-oriented job better. I started with R (and still use it extensively), have worked with Ruby, Python, and Clojure, but have slowly adapted to and now overwhelmingly prefer strongly typed ML-descendent languages such as Scala, F#, Rust, and OCaml. I'm a huge proponent of making invalid states unrepresentable through the type system. The majority of my experience is in more data oriented systems with lots of pipeline-type architectures, including lots of simulations. I have lots of experience with tasks that you would expect from someone that has Operations Research or Data Scientist in their titles. I don't have much experience with REST-based systems, but I have found it pretty damn easy to learn over the last year in my free time. I don't have much experience with front end design, but haven't had much trouble picking up React.js. I have, however, been slow to pick up native front end design.

I'm open to cofounder proposals, but realize that if that happens it will likely be after some amount of freelance work, both for your sake and ours.

My email address is in my profile, but will likely remove it within a week or two for spam reasons (I really wish HN would let us delete old posts!).
