SEEKING WORK | Asia-Pacific | Remote

https://talaksan.com

I love solving problems through application development, from ideation to launching and iteration. If you have a problem, I'll help you develop ideas to solve it. If you have an idea, I can quickly prototype a system to implement it. If you have a system, I can help improve and fix issues in it.

As (former) CTO of Insync (https://insynchq.com/), I became proficient in many technologies (e.g. Python, SQL/NoSQL Databases, macOS & Windows APIs, JavaScript, Web/Cloud APIs, Networking, HTML/CSS, Linux) and different aspects of software engineering (e.g. Architecture & Design, DevOps, Security, Training, People Management). As its co-founder, I had great experience in product development and cultivating company culture.

I built a solid foundation by having fun doing sport programming, which made me fluent in data structures & algorithms, and joining hackathons, which exposed me to new paradigms & problem domains. I've won (or placed) in plenty of competitions along the way (see my website for details).

Hit me up at marte [at] talaksan [dot] com if you have problems to solve!

SEEKING WORK | Europe, Remote

Hi there! I do long-term consulting projects with clients primarily in Germany and the US. Drop me a line if you need someone who is a quick study, will grok your business and the big picture. Raw developer firepower included.

Sample references:

- multi-year backend dev & enterprise integration for an insuretech startup backed by Munich Re (Node.JS, Typescipt, Mongo, AWS, k8s)

- leads management platform for a contractor in TX (PHP, Laravel, HTML+CSS)

- web app for distribution of insurance documents from the agent to the customer (.NET Core, HTML+CSS)

- pan-European rollout of an eCommerce system for a cable company in EU (product management)

- Scrum Master for a Prague startup in the taxi app (kinda like Uber but with real taxis)

- my own failed SaaS startup in the requirements analysis space (something like Trello)

Industry exposure: finance, telecoms, insurance. Most of my engagements recently are centered around helping Fortune 500-sized companies navigate the new digital landscape.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible in better times depending on location and duration.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Senior backend dev / tech lead

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on “weird” or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn’t be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* EDI message passing / reconciliation for US dental health insurance market, including X12 parser (Clojure)

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD

Got something you think is a good fit? Drop me a line at mike -at- lambdafunctions -dot- com

SEEKING WORK | Los Angeles | Remote

I run Sequence Software, a Los Angeles-based software development, data analytics and bioinformatics consultancy focused on healthcare and genomics. Sequence Software is currently just me, and my clients are mostly small pharma companies focused on cancer immunotherapy. In general, I work with biotech companies to brainstorm and build web apps, bioinformatics pipelines, predictive models, and so on.

Always excited to talk to folks working in biotech/healthcare, whether or not that results in a consulting engagement.

SEEKING WORK | Argentina | Remote

Email: hn.eafer@gmail.com

I'm a programmer, most familiar with C on Linux (both userland and the kernel) and Win32. I'll be happy to start a project from scratch, or to help support any old codebase. For a sample of my work please see [1], a naive filesystem implementation I'm working on.

My usual rate is 15 USD/hour, and I don't expect to be paid until I have something to deliver. For what it's worth, I have a background in math.
