Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2016)

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~9 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes.

In the past, I've worked with companies like Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently fully booked through the end of June, but I'm always happy to grab coffee and chat.

I'm a senior/lead DevOps with 15 years experience tuning & hosting web applications and I'm on the lookout for something new.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Past work includes:

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

+ Physical platform hosting a large, successful news site for the financial sector.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Don't try it, you won't get rich.

+ Lots, lots more.

Location: Raleigh/Triangle, NC or remote

Remote: yes (can travel for onsite meetings periodically)

Primarily server-side development with some client-side experience (I'm better than many folks I know, but certainly no expert-level ninja)

Platforms/tools with a lot of experience (> 4 years): Grails, PHP (multiple frameworks, including ZF1/2, CodeIgniter, Wordpress, etc), JavaScript (jQuery, KnockoutJS, others), MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL, Tomcat.

Platforms/tools with recent but less experience: iOS, vagrant, node, laravel, ember, angular, typescript, probably other stuff...

I've been working with web applications since 1996, PHP for most of that time, and have seen a lot come and go (as many of us have here) - one of the few constants is change, and I like to think I'm keeping up with at least a subset of the onslaught of new tech/tools :)

Availability: have part time availability over the next few weeks - perfect for us getting to know each other, plan out your project, etc. Come end of June that will likely open up to nearly full time availability, but we'll see.

Rate: prefer to discuss project-based pricing, but can do hourly when needed.

I like taking ideas and making quick prototypes of them to get a feel for how feasible the idea/concept is. Sometimes that moves forward, sometimes it doesn't, but ideally that should take days or a few weeks, not months. I'm also connected in the local coworking space in town, and have other tech and design folks I loop in on projects when my skills aren't up to snuff in a particular segment.
