SEEKING WORK | Ocala, FL | remote/freelance

I am looking for part-time work, preferably 20 hours a week or less. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done (perhaps on a regular basis), then I would love to hear from you.

I am a very experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Django, Flask, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), desktop GUI development, database access (MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), ORMs, REST APIs, scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, parsing, language implementation, games, etc.

I have a lot of experience with relational databases and SQL as well, especially MS SQL Server and Postgres. In fact, in all of my previous jobs I have used SQL, including designed database schemas, writing queries, measuring performance and optimizing queries, writing views and stored procedures, etc.

I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python), and for front-end development using React.

(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

SEEKING WORK | Charlotte NC, USA | Remote Only

FullStack freelancer with tons of startup experience and some founder experience too. Because of that I have a great feel for product, thinking like a user, and building delightful experiences compared to most Engineers.

I also really focus on simplicity and strive to deeply understand the goal at hand, then solve it in the simplest way possible (which often works out best for all parties involved)

Currently I have availability starting in February 2022, but would love to simply start a connection too.

Tech: Rails (Over a decade's experience), React, node.js, JS, and much more.

A lot of the Who is hiring / who wants to be hired posts are copy pasted as they are the same, or very similar every month. What's wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with a freelancer posting the same comment every couple of months, when they’re looking for clients. That’s what these threads are for. But using more than one account, posting in more than one thread, and doing that every single month, seems spammy. Especially when it’s coming from an agency and not an individual.

It's not an automated account, just me looking for freelance work for myself and sometimes helping my team find bigger gigs (there definitely is a demand so why not try to meet it?)

I'd guess it's against the rules, the thread is for freelancers and not agencies.

If more agencies started posting here (and write the same comment every month), then 1. freelancers would be at a disadvantage, and 2. it would get spammy, we could basically replace the monthly thread with a static page.

Thanks for confirming that it's not an automated account. I don't think it's ok to post as an agency though. For the record, I've added more thoughts in the other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28058552 .
