SEEKING WORK - San Francisco - Remote or Local

I have over six years of experience developing in Rails and scaling to millions of users. I just recently did the switch to freelancing, so for the right projects I'm working at a discounted rate (while I build up my portfolio).

You can see some of my work and contact me here: http://sanfranlabs.com/ And my LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonyf/

Thanks!

SEEKING WORK - Remote, Amsterdam, London

Syadmin as a Service

Do you want to improve your scaling, resilience and reliability, but don't have a full-time Ops person on the team? Why not rent one?

I work with startups and online businesses to help them spend less time worrying about technical problems, and more time growing their business.

How can I help you?

- Expert sysadmin services, on tap

- Continuous Integration for your infrastructure

- Infrastructure design and implementation

- Server maintenance and optimisation (performance and cost)

- Quickly get up and running with tools like Puppet, Vagrant and Packer

About Me

I'm writing a book on AWS System Administration that will be published by O'Reilly early this year.

Here's an AWS case study for an infrastructure I built:

If you think these services could help your business grow, let's talk. mike@epitech.nl

Do you need your code to be fast? 11 years C programmer here.

Do you need your code to be correct? Haskell hacker for the last 2 years.

Low level programmer for most of my life, I can easily develop for different architectures, and I know GDB by heart.

Currently developing data analysis tools in Haskell, and enjoying every bit of it.

I would love to discuss what challenges you are facing right now, and discuss concrete solutions and schedules. Drop me an email.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / ONSITE POSSIBLE

Hello! I'm a UK-based full-stack developer with a touch of design thrown in.

I worked on e-commerce, Wordpress, CRM, API's (building & integrating with), web apps, MVP's, iOS/Android apps etc etc. Everything from little niche sites to those with huge traffic/revenue.

Front end web: HTML5, CSS, Javascript, responsive design Back end web: PHP (I specialise in Codeigniter but have used all kinds!), picking up nodeJS too.

App dev:

I work with Titanium mainly, but I've also used Phonegap in the past. Have worked on iOS and Android apps for phones & tablets. I've also built a good number of API's to complement, so that's covered too.

Most recent work:

* https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/eatmcr/id384069000 * https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pitbot.pit.... * https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pitchup.com-campsite-caravan....

In general I have a pretty good overview of every step of the development process - from sketch to deployment. I can help draw up specs, implement, optimise and launch.

In addition to the above, I'm happy to give some big discounted rates if any of the following sound interesting:

* I'd be very interested in building something on AngularJS or similar & also get into Python properly. If you have something non-mega-urgent that can handle a few little learning issues then it might be worth a try...

* Similarly, in exchange for travel+accomm, I'll do a big discount on work in interesting places with interesting people. Onsite work might be tricky outside the EU but in those cases I could work remotely initially and come say hello after.

Can supply big list of links and info on other recent work if interested.

Contact info in profile, or via http://pitbot.net

SEEKING WORK - based in Israel (and Chicago through mid-June), but work remotely

I've been a full-stack Web developer since 1993, and a consultant since 1995. I have extensive experience with Ruby (and Rails), Python, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and many other technologies.

My real value isn't my extensive technological know-how. Rather, it's my ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical people, and to turn that communication into business value.

I know how to take business needs and turn them into software, by myself and with others. I also know how to describe technical issues in terms that business people can understand, that allow us to make informed decisions. Many of my clients have used me as a remote, part-time CTO or lead developer.

I also help developers and teams improve their coding and management practices. I frequently teach in-person courses in Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to such companies as Apple, Cisco, Freescale, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare. I also offer online coaching/pairing services to individuals and teams.

My aim: Long-term, interesting projects with nice people. (Short-term relationships can also be fine, depending on the work and my schedule.) Bottom line, I like to speak with and help nice people, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so.

If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, or on Skype as "reuvenlerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ .
