Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (March 2014)

Are you looking to take an existing application to the next level or build one from scratch? Thinking about rolling out an API? Maybe you have data that you would like to view in new and engaging ways... We should talk, I'm a full stack engineer with 8+ years experience building secure, distributed applications using Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, JS/Backbone/Meteor/D3, HTML/CSS, SQL/NoSQL, ... and I'd love to hear from you.

Until then, gm@gregmcwhirter.com

I am an experienced software developer with a strong skill set in UNIX/Linux/BSD backend server development in C++ and Python doing high availability, fault tolerant and high scalability architecture. Designed and built custom binary protocols and have used protocol buffers (google protobuf extensively). ZeroMQ experience as well!

I also have extensive experience working with Pyramid (Python web framework), PostgreSQL, and building web applications with JSON/XML data interchanges and the like.

Security while building products is extremely important, and I have a lot of experience building secure software, security in depth, and understanding how systems work on both a macro and micro level to be able to easily figure out how to provide additional security where possible by separating concerns. Along with security knowledge I have built and implemented various projects that made extensive use of cryptography and am familiar with common pitfalls associated with most primitives and how to use them to build secure constructs.

Do you have an interesting challenge for me? Get in touch :-)

i live in san francisco and most recently was the lead devops engineer at bleacher report, the 3rd largest sports website and the 36th most trafficked website in the states. i am a consulting (systems administrator | systems engineer | devops engineer | site reliability engineer) and am currently looking for a new client.

here's a brief description of the work i did at bleacher report, which is the 3rd largest sports website and the 34th most trafficked website in the us. i reduced costs by migrating from engineyard to aws. i built completely new infrastructure and increased scalability & reliability by using autoscaling. i succeeded in halving monthly infrastructure costs from ~$150k to ~$80k and refactored chef cookbooks for all stacks. managed traffic surges of key sports events that surpassed 2,000 requests per second.

Unity 3D C# developer for over three years, specializing in serious games, educational games, training simulations. I'm also interested in plain ol' regular games.

I've shipped products on Windows desktop and iOS. I can also build for OS X desktop and WebPlayer.

I've worked with artists and educational specialists to design interactions and generally end up doing more than simply programming.

Recently I've been working with the Oculus Rift, Vuzix AR glasses, and the Epson AR glasses. I've worked with OpenCV to roll and AR system from scratch, as well.

In a past life I was an electrical engineer, so I have experience with electronics, microcontrollers, robotics, etc. More importantly, I bring a solid real-time system perspective to the table.
