Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2015)

SEEKING WORK

Remote: yes

Location: anywhere (US). I am currently just outside of Sacramento, but for a modest cost-of-living adjustment I will move on-site for the duration.

For $5000/mo., up to 3 months, I can give your project or business a shot in the arm. I have 20 years of professional experience in multiple aspects of IT, including software development, systems administration, and lots of troubleshooting. I have been programming for almost 30 years now, in everything from COBOL on mainframes to 68k assembly to web development on the LAMP stack. I am currently strongest on PHP/Javascript/MySQL for software development, but I wouldn't mind switching gears for a while and it won't take me long to get up to speed on whatever your technology stack is.

I'm no good at mobile development, but I can do anything else. (Linux systems administration, bug closing or refactoring on big complicated software projects, reverse-engineering opaque database formats, building a windowed UI in Javascript from scratch ... I've done all that.)

I'm at my best when gluing together uncooperative systems or getting software to do things it wasn't intended to do. I've spent most of my years working in the back corners of places that were struggling with serious software issues, so I don't have an amazing portfolio or github profile (https://github.com/robsheldon). Bad news for me, good news for you: you can get a senior-level developer for cheap.

Contact me at rob@associatedtechs.com for more information. I'm pretty forthright about what I can and can't do, so tell me what's got your business or project stuck and I'll tell you if I can un-stuck it.

SEEKING WORK - Tester, Test Manager, Quality Assurance - Southern Germany (Stuttgart and vicinity), remote definitely possible, part time only, B2B. Specialty: manual testing and grounding the testing and quality assurance processes. If your project is too small to warrant a full-time tester, let me know, I'd be happy to support you anyway, parallel to my main project which keeps me occupied 8h/day. If you need anything quality-related, including setting up automation, ask me. I do consulting and outsourcing, and if you just need someone to click around your app or site with more focused and fresh eye, either I or my intern can do it for you, with complete test report afterwards.

SEEKING WORK - Looking for remote, or onsite if located either in Kitchener/Waterloo, the GTA, or SE Pennsylvania/Northern Delaware (need TN Visa for the last one)

Hello there. I'm an experienced developer that has over seven years in the industry, developing web applications from the ground up with multiple technology stacks. Some of them include PHP, Java, Python, AngularJS and Jquery, most major databases, webservers and operating systems.

How can I help your company/organization?

- Are you a startup that needs someone that has experience in multiple technical areas, and business experience as well?

- Do you have a codebase that has become a nightmare to maintain, and could use a refactoring in the worst way?

- Is your application having issues scaling to meet your new customer demands?

- Are you having a hard time finding developers that have experience in your stack and are debating converting to a more modern setup?

- have a greenfield project that could use an experienced hand to take it from concept to completion?

- Just need an experienced developer that has worked on projects more complex then "Hello World"?

If your answer to any of these was yes, then lets chat. Please contact me via email at creedis at gmail dot com, or have a look at what I've been up too at https://ca.linkedin.com/in/canadiancreed and let's see how I can help your project.
