Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (September 2018)

SEEKING WORK | Seattle (remote preferred, travel OK)

Hi there! I'm a polyglot web programmer with a specialty in scientific data visualization. I have 6 years of industry experience writing code for dashboards, games, and apps. As a freelancer, I've worked with clients on data dashboards and APIs, bringing products to market as well as just making proof-of-concepts.

Previous projects I've shipped include a visualization for drug discovery, IoT sensor dashboard, ecological map, and a serious game. I have dual degrees in CS and studio art, spent several years at the University of Washington working on an NSF-funded serious game in microbiology, and cut my teeth writing simulations of complex systems for UMich and Sandia Labs.

My latest projects have used D3.js a lot, and for quick visualizations and analysis I'll use Python, pandas, and Jupyter. I'm friendly, communicative, can iterate quickly, and am happy to advocate for what I think would be best for a project. I have a decent amount of availability in September and October, after which I would be able to spend about 10 hours / week on consulting. Happy to expand on previous projects and chat about yours, send me a message!

Most-used tools:

* Javascript stack: D3, Express, Node, React, Electron

* Python stack(s): Jupyter, pandas, matplotlib, scikit, basemap

Also used: C# / .NET framework, Java, React Native

Hi, I'm an experienced (7 years) full-stack developer experienced working in a startup environment.

I've helped build systems that store and serve billions of data points, run millions of jobs daily and process thousands of messages a second. I've worked in startups from the earliest stages of a first hire to the later stages with millions in annual recurring revenue and profitable.

If you'd like to work together or have any questions, email me!

SEEKING WORK - Remote (GMT+2)

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, JavaScript, Vue, Node.js, and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at http://ifdattic.com

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

    * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
    * custom applications for improving work flows (document 
      submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)
    * teaching students how to create web applications
    * set up coding standards, testing practices,
      development environment, fix security vulnerabilities,
      document inner workings of an application
    * implement CAS authentication for Single Sign On (SSO)
    * implement direct file upload to AWS S3
    * implement secure file download from AWS S3
    * profile and optimize performance

SEEKING WORK: Embedded/IoT development, development process consulting, product quality consulting

Location: Munich, Germany

Remote: preferred

I'm an experienced (>10 years) software engineer with management experience. I have a master's in mechanical engineering.

I've worked on all stages of embedded products, from product management, to specification, to coding, testing, and qualification. A lot of my career was spent working on safety-critical systems up to ASIL D / SIL4.

How I could help you:

  * advise in improving the quality of your product
  * close gaps in your team's embedded development expertise
  * organise and manage your development efforts
  * provide training
  * bring automated tests and continuous integration to your embedded projects (DevOps for embedded!)
  * close gaps in your team's embedded development expertise
  * help you comply with safety regulations
 

my current projects:

  * training and advising several German Fortune 500 companies on DevOps
  * managing a small, experienced team in the development of an industrial robot
  * advising a multinational company in the development of a highly safety-critical (ASIL D)
    automotive electronics component
  * advising a startup in the IoT development tooling space
  * coaching a startup team on improving their development workflow

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Clojure development. Data migration, transformation, and processing. Prototype development. Feasibility studies.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on “weird” or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn’t be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD
