SEEKING WORK

Location: Rhine-Ruhr, Germany / remote. I'm fine with travelling as well though.

Remote: Yes

IT consultant, web and enterprise software developer with more than 15 years of experience.

I'm experienced in JavaScript, HTML5 and many other web-related technologies. I'm a long-time Java developer and I have lots of experience with RDBMS as well, particularly PostgreSQL and Oracle DB.

In the past 3 years I've mainly been developing AngularJS applications (having started with Angular 2 recently) with Java / Spring back-ends and PostgreSQL databases. Among other things, many of these applications make of use complex data analysis and data visualization (using D3.js, NVD3, Chart.js). I help companies with the quality and knowledge transfer aspects of software development: Testing (both front-end using tools like Protractor and back-end with frameworks like JUnit and Mockito), continuous deployment, improving collaboration within teams, training developers regarding best practices and new technologies.

SEEKING WORK - New York State, US. Remote.

Do you need help maintaining your legacy web architecture? Are you using a PHP backend written 10 years ago by fresh college grads and are having a hard time adding new features? You're in luck! I specialize in legacy systems written in PHP, Wordpress, Javascript, jQuery, MooTools, Prototype, Angular 1, Classic ASP, C#, Actionscript and Flex.

I can quickly add features to existing systems with relative ease. If you want to stick with the same language but re-write your old system using modern methods, I have you covered. I can even convert old systems into completely new systems using the latest and greatest languages and frameworks the tech industry has to offer.

I have 16 years of full stack web development experience and I'm familiar with everything from Perl CGI to the latest React and Angular frameworks.

If you have a project that fits this description, email hn@lj3.me

SEEKING FREELANCER -- REMOTE OK. Open Source developer on Open edX (OpenCraft - Remote/worldwide company based in Berlin)

Development specialized on the free software project Open edX, used by many universities and companies to run online courses. See edx.org, stanford.edu or fun-mooc.fr for examples of Open edX instances. We are a team of ten developers, working remotely from Europe, North America, Asia, Russia & Australia. The company is not affiliated with edX, but contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, were you would be able to work remotely from where you want, as long as you have a good internet connexion. : )

It's a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are varied, from developing developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working on both client/server sides, etc.

Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing some of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS/OpenStack, Debian/Ubuntu, JS, HTML/CSS, MySQL, MongoDB

Interview process: a 15 minutes (simple) coding exercise & a 30 minutes Hangout. If that works out, you're given a (paid) test task: a contribution to the Open edX project. The decision is taken based on how you handle the upstream contribution.
