In the same vein as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1659409, Who's looking for a short term consulting/contract gigs on HN? I am myself interested in Chicago area/telecommute and something e-mail/server/Linux/perl/ruby related.

Post away and thanks in advance !




I'm looking for a talented Ruby developer to work with a dedicated team at a funded startup. I will consider someone remote if it's the right fit, though currently the whole team is in Los Angeles. Contact info is in my profile!


Intridea is looking for a few people for consulting gigs in both the mobile and web (mainly Rails) spheres. Drop your resume and Github/open source URL's to jobs@intridea.com.

Also, we're 99.9% remote, so telecommuting is obviously OK. :)


I'm an iOS developer in Atlanta, GA (although I'm telecommute friendly) who'd be very happy to pick up some contract work.

Since I never miss an opportunity for a plug and it basically serves as the most meaningful credential in this business, my company has one serious product in the store: http://ballisticpigeon.com/folio (it's on sale this weekend for $0.99 instead of $4.99). I've been doing iOS development since the day the SDK was released (personal projects while I finished up graduate school then proof-of-concept contract work for a startup).

Now I'm hoping to finance my little entrepreneurial endeavor with some interestingly hourly projects.


I'm at Emory and would love to meet up. nnlevy@gmail.com


I am looking. Specialist in Search/Scaling/Data Mining/Large datasets using Java/Hadoop/Nutch/Solr/Lucene. X-Google and have helped several companies solve their search/scaling issues.


I'm hiring for Drupal talent anywhere in the US. I'm also working on some crazy Grails startup projects (infrastructure stuff) which is going to require some real-time Hadoop work. We also need a project manager, a designer, and someone to help run the NYC office for our agency (Drupal evangelist, go to conferences, operations, sales). So, quite a few jobs here.

We're also looking for iOS developers (we've got quite a few projects).

How's that? Anyone interested drop me a line: j@workhabit.com


I do consultative hosted load testing, which includes scripting, load generation, and analysis.

My email is ebeland at that domain.


If you need real-time web/network/mobile work done, I have a ton of experience and love doing it. (SF/Bay area, telecommute okay)

- I wrote Orbited (www.orbited.org) - Designed WebSocket handshake (officially recognized by w3c/html5) - Comet session protocol (http://orbited.org/csp) - Hookbox (www.hookbox.org)

I've worked on pretty much every type of related app you can imagine (games, stock tickers, chat, collaboration)

We are looking for a passionate, entrepreneurial project manager/business analyst who loves Agile/SCRUM methodologies.

Loginaut is a young, 100% privately-funded startup that is changing the face of custom software by implementing the best project management, software development and quality assurance techniques. Our goal is to become the best at turning client's ideas into reality and create highest-quality software products in fastest, most efficient and inexpensive ways.

After less than a year of operating, we're growing fast and need some like-minded people to join our team. This is a contract-based, not a full time position, but may turn into one.

Who are we looking for: Intelligent, entrepreneurial project managers/business analysts with experience in running agile projects. You will be asked to manage projects, and get paid per project. You can take on as many projects as you can handle (not right away though). This is a perfect situation for freelancers, or for those employed full time and looking for supplementary income.

My email is in profile, send your resume


If anyone is located in the Santa Monica/Los Angeles area and can do some front end html/css some php on wordpress, email me. I got a couple of projects coming up that might need your services. If you have any links to your projects that will help me a lot to see your skillset.

Thanks

I'm looking for an EventMachine and/or Cassandra (with Ruby) expert.

2-hour phone conversation to help us get up to speed with the technologies and to double check our assumptions and architecture.


I'm a Rails coder with 2+ years of experience. My sister is giving birth soon (yay!) and my mom wants to take off a month of work to help her out, so I have to pay the mortgage & bills for my family for a while.

I prefer back end work, since I'm not much of a designer (but I have a design guy as well). I'd take on a gig only if the client and I mesh, and the work could be contracted out in small chunks, since I already have a full-time gig.

haml/sass/jQuery/RSpec preferred.

Discount for a Rails 3 project!
