FREELANCER SEEKING FREELANCER (Remote, UTC-5/EST)

I do a lot of Python work and I'm often fully booked. I'm turning down enough work to keep another developer employed, so I'm looking for someone with some serious Python skills who is interested in working remotely (part time or full time).

I need someone who is capable of doing things way beyond CRUD apps. Some of the work I do involves massively concurrent servers, collaborative filtering, financial trading, graph databases, developing Python extension modules in C... but there's some CRUD going on as well, mostly RESTful APIs and scrapping.

No rookies. 5+ years of experience minimum, but I would strongly prefer candidates with 10+ or 15+ years of development experience.

Must speak English fluently and live in the Americas time zone.

Must have a working knowledge of version control, automated testing and be proficient with the Unix command line.

Technologies: Python 2 and 3, SQLAlchemy, NumPy, SciPy, Twisted, Flask, Tornado, QuickFIX, Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, PosgreSQL, MySQL...

------- SEEKING NodeJS/Meteor DEVELOPER FREELANCER -------

Type: Full-Time/Part-Time Location: Remote (we are located in Akron, Ohio) Company Name: WonderKiln

We are a small boutique consultancy, with a entirely remote team, heavily focused on great experiences (design, code, animations, etc). We take great pride in our design and development, only working on projects we build from the ground up handling design, brand, and development.

We are looking for another backend developer who is flexible and willing to work with an small existing team in a fully remote capacity. The key trait we are looking for is independence and self-motivation to tackle problems and hit deadlines. Experience with frontend development and a eye for implementing designs as per mockups/etc is a huge plus but not mandatory.

We currently work with MeteorJS as our primary framework and while experience with this is a big benefit, it's easy to pickup so if you don't have much experience, still feel free to reach out! Generally looking for experience with NodeJS, MongoDB, Angular/React/Vue, etc.

The goal is to find someone who can jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and past experience!

Contact: austin [at] wonderkiln.com

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!

SEEKING WORK -- Remote, based in Minneapolis

Hey! I'm John and I'm a full-stack generalist web developer. Freelance for the last 12 years. I split my time about 75/25 between direct-to-client web software projects and CMS-driven website projects (Craft CMS, Expression Engine, custom PHP CMS, etc). Experience in jQuery, Backbone, React (React Native too) for front-end stuff - PHP, MySQL, Mongo, Elastic, etc for backend. My main focuses over the past few years have been medical software projects and audio management software.

PTRx.org - a web-based video delivery system for orthopedic providers to assign video prescriptions to their patients during recovery. Built an integration with Twilio's video and text chat aimed at HIPAA-compliant communication between providers and their patients. Backend built using CodeIgniter, Elastic, some API work with Zencoder and AWS.

The audio focused projects are all internal-network apps for commercial audio studio clients. They let commercial audio studios make their library of licensed tracks available for ad agencies, video production companies etc. Various workflows built out for billing, licensing, previewing tracks, etc. I'd be happy to show people around, but they're not publicly viewable. I currently have 3 clients using similar systems including 1 major "extreme sports" brand.

More projects here: http://clearmpls.com - contact info there as well

Happy to chat/coffee/beer, remote or local to the Twin Cities. Looking for remote/off-site work.

jventura · 10 years ago
SEEKING WORK - Lisbon, Portugal or Remote

Full-stack web developer specialized in Python (Flask and Django) with 10+ years of experience on software development.

I have a PhD and published work in statistical Natural Language Processing, so am also looking for interesting opportunities on NLP. I have experience as teacher, so if you need one-to-one consulting or mentoring on any of these subjects (software architecture and development, web development, NLP, programming, algorithms, data processing, developing with Python, C, Java, others?), I'm used to make complex things seem simple.

I'm currently bootstrapping my own software company (http://flatangle.com) with an online product (http://elements.flatangle.com/) and an Android application almost ready for the Google Play Store (Java frontend app which interfaces with CPython through JNI and uses the same Python codebase as my web software). I have experience on designing application architectures, implementing and releasing working products.

You can check my personal website for more information, http://joaoventura.net/ or my github accounts for some hints on my work: https://github.com/joaoventura/ and https://github.com/flatangle/.

----- SEEKING FREELANCE UI/UX & ILLUSTRATION DESIGNER -----

Type: Full-Time/Part-Time Location: Remote (we are located in Akron, Ohio) Company Name: WonderKiln

This one is a bit more straight forward, we are also looking for a part-time/full-time designer to jump into a existing design team. The main focus is on UI/UX Designer but with a talent for illustration to aid in crafting assets and moving the app/web experience forward.

Similar to the dev opportunity in this thread, the main focus is on independence and hitting deadlines while having almost complete free-reign! The projects will vary quite a bit so looking for someone flexible to jump between projects but who is also quite capable with regards to Web and App design w/ illustration.

Design-wise we have a small group already but are looking to expand it with someone very focused and dedicated time-wise. Happy to share our existing designs/buildouts upon request!

Like the dev opportunity above, we are looking for someone to jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and design examples!
