SEEKING FREELANCER - Looking for Ruby/Rails developer(s) with basic knowledge of TDD/BDD. I'm a freelancer myself, looking to expand my ability to take on new work. Ideally I'd like to have a couple developer contacts with hourly rates - in some cases I may also just have work to refer. I don't mind working with people who are willing to learn - knowledge of (or interest in learning) the following is a must: HAML, SASS, CoffeeScript, JQuery, RSpec, FactoryGirl, and general best practices in everything :). Remote only, but it wouldn't hurt to be in the Portland area.
I'm willing to work on anything but my main interests are distributed systems and p2p networks. My current project is described at http://bit.ly/ji-mist
Prefer to work on web application design. Looking to move to New York City in January 2012 and would like to develop relationships with companies in the city. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email: ryan@wellroundedgent.com
I specialize in Android application development using Java. I am also quite versed with HTML / JS coding, so I can work on composite HTML / native applications. You can see some of my work here:

Based in San Francisco, now starting development of a real-time stock quote and day trading mobile app for a financial services company. Working with API that speaks directly with stock/futures/options exchanges. Forget 15-minute delays, this is direct pipe microsecond access of any symbol and ability to trade on it. Competitor software is all boat anchored to PCs, time to make a touch-enabled browser/native mix to move things mobile.
Looking for help with the following:
* iOS and Android UI
* HTML5 & JavaScript (especially Node.js) for charting
* mySQL for local device storage
* overcoming network latency issues
* user account systems
Local SF preferred but remote is no problem. You have the skills. I have the budget to pay you. Email me if you want to learn more.
Freelance to hire, iOS and Android development, with a focus on mapping apps. All brilliant engineers considered, regardless of skillset.
One particular gig we have now is porting a subset of our Flight Charts app to Android (from iOS), using our Android mapping platform that we use for other Android versions of our apps (based on Nutiteq).
We raised $45K from angels and won a $25K fbFund grant early on (2008), and we're now profitable from sales of apps and royalties from software licensing.
We had a killer summer, which is the season for our apps, and we were featured in a slew of press: http://www.gaiagps.com/press
Looking for local developers: interns, contractors, and part-timers are welcome.

If interested please email us at jobs@mirandabros.com. Mention this thread, and also provide us with a resume and your work experiences.
I mostly do backend web stuff lately, but I'm versatile. I can (and would like to) do machine learning stuff. I wrote a classifier that's 99.96% accurate on comment spam, and 99.99% if configured to present a captcha when it's close.
Tools I'm good with include Clojure, Rails, Ruby, PostgreSQL, Javascript, Lua and Common Lisp. I've also written non-trivial things in Haskell, Python, Java, Scheme, C and C++. I know PHP fairly well if need be, but I'd rather not do projects that are mainly PHP unless the pay is really good. I'm interested in working with stuff not on this list as well, but can't promise expert-level performance on the first day.
It's live data from a guestbook[0], which was receiving an average of 8200 spam hits a day. There has been a slight decline in spam over the course of the past week or so - from 300/hour to about 250. In addition, there seem to be more coming in that link to unregistered nonsense domains. I've stopped those for the moment by displaying a captcha on all very short posts.
Are you part of lesseverything.com? It looks like it's two contractors who know each other working together, not the sort of outfit that wants to hire random strangers from the internet.
SEEKING WORK, Django + Flask + any other python or web devy things, REMOTE or SF if you can pay for gas!
I'm currently going to college for my comsci degree and would love some freelance work to do so I can buy myself a a new laptop. I've done a crapton of stuff in Django and Flask and would love to get some work
SEEKING WORK - Bay Area / Remote
I have been working across the stack for a while now. Most of my experience is in web development open source technologies liks Java, PHP, jQuery, MySQL, MongoDB, Memcache, Lucene, HTML, CSS etc on top of Unix environment.
Also have experience with tomcat and deploying it on AWS environment.
In past I have written a music crawler and a search engine on top of it (It is not live now) . Worked with a social network company, was part of a dev team that wrote the system for sending large scale permission based email campaigns.
Please reach out to me at help.skins@gmail.com
Needs: Rewrite a WordPress widget to be embeddable with a line of HTML, similar to the Twitter or Facebook Like buttons (i.e. a reference to an external JavaScript file), so it can work on all kinds of sites.
This includes rewriting the interface between the database and the widget to create an API for it. Like many other WordPress widgets, the current widget makes database queries itself. This was an MVP, so it's far from ideal.
Timeline: Start in late October, hoping to have this completed in a month or so, but don't have a strict deadline.
I recently quit my job at Mahalo.com and am moving to Boulder, CO in November. I am particularly interested in building high concurrency realtime applications in javascript.
I led business development for a UX, marketing and PR firm in San Francisco. We helped launch dozens of startups and saw several through to very high exits. We also ran marketing/PR for a major demo confernece. The firm dissolved due to the founders joining a venture-backed startup so I'm on the hunt.
Think of me as a B2B sales/BD guy who can impact product experience and marketing, and who can also handle all the relationship building that goes into PR.
SEEKING WORK - FREELANCER UX/IX Designer - REMOTE WORK
UX/IX Designer (Not a Graphic designer). I'm a C.Sc engineer by education, but an UX person by passion. I do mobile/web UX/IX. I care about crafting experiences that mesmerize the user. Remote work.
Languages known: C/C++/Java (Rusty with all of these)
I stutter in HTML(5), CSS, JS.
I also do pro-bono work. Remote work preferred (I'm based in Asia)
P.S. I'm Entrepreneurial, and advise startups (pro-bono, ofcourse)
SEEKING WORK: UK, Derbyshire / Bedfordshire. Remote or local OK.
Microsoft stack developer - .Net, (C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net, Winforms), MSSQL (v7-2008R2), VB6, ASP3. HTML, CSS and JavaScript too, SAS as well if that's your thing. Back end, front end, large or small, 11 years in industry now.
(Less Hacker related but I'm as at home with a camera if you're after a photographer.)
One day I'll set up a portfolio site - until then, contactable at gp dot webb at ntlworld dot com.
Build an open source project, and then we'll be dazzled by your awesomeness :)
Friendly advice: webapps development is generally just moving data around back and forth between DB and client. That's not much and pretty much anyone can do it. When you will be working at real projects, you'll see that the bulk of tasks that need doing come in 4 flavors: annoying tasks, yak shaving tasks, tasks you don't have enough knowledge to get done, and flow tasks. The data ping-pong is not the issue. So in the mean time do yourself a favor and learn as much as you can out of science, rather than faddy techs: backtracking, dynamic programming, A*, hungarian algorithm, support vector machines, red-black trees, markov chains, monte carlo methods, drinking philosophers, decaying windows, bloom filters ...
While we're providing critique: clean up the writing on your resume and change the "skills" section to something relevant. Rating half your skills at 4 and half at 3 tells me zero.
Finally, lose the Apple love. It's very unbecoming.
Even if you have a point buried in your vitriol somewhere, making a throwaway account and delivering it in this kind of way is a new low, _especially_ since you know the guy is still in highschool.
Somebody who wants to call themselves a "fucking awesome" developer will be treated like an adult when responding to their bragging. In this case, it's a developer whose "CV" (which reads as more of an Apple fanboy...thing...than a CV) clearly reveals himself to not be "fucking awesome". And that sort of baseless bragging is going to get a "rofl, you serious?" at best.
If he'd approached it as "I'm looking for an internship where I can learn something," I wouldn't have replied as I did. Instead, he tried to puff himself up as something he plainly isn't. And, hey--I like popping bubbles.
In retrospect, the throwaway account probably wasn't necessary, as the original post was upvoted. I s'pose other people don't really dig that sort of thing either.
I work with back-end systems; most of my experience is with C, C++, and Java. I can work with most technology stacks, though - it's the application that interests me.
I have experience with telemetry and data analysis for avionics and medical devices. I feel at home with large data sets.
I'd be happy to work remote or travel to your site.
Python/Django/jQuery, with extensive experience building e-commerce marketplaces. I have a research background, data analysis, playing around with NLP right now.
I run a django dev shop, currently taking gigs. Here's my portfolio:
Interface designer: I work with companies around the world on application design, usability, and branding.
Experienced working with developers, version control, MVC frameworks, template languages, information architecture, conversion rates, etc++ across multiple time zones.
Experienced Ruby on Rails engineer (3 years experience), and Cocoa developer (I've been writing in Cocoa for the last 8 years).
If the project is big enough I can bring a team to bear on the project: I have a number of really good freelancing people I can bring on for larger projects, and/or depending on what kind of skillset your project requires.
Close to settling on someone via the responses to that ad, but if you're especially good with recurring billing and customer-account-activity-features, contact me ASAP.
