SEEKING WORK - Remote, SF, Chicago, Berlin

Experienced Meteor Developer & Designer

I've been developing in Meteor for 15 months now at two YC startups (Sourcery, and until last week lead web dev & designer at Apportable). I've presented talks at Meteor HQ in SF and the Meteor meetup in Berlin. I especially love front-end development as the interface of design and dev.

About to launch a freelance practice, so this thread is timely. I'm working on a full portfolio, but in the meantime my personal site has my resume, LinkedIn, and links to some webapps I've built at Apportable.

Site: http://www.zachalexander.com

Email: zach@zachalexander.com

If you'd like to meet/work in person, I'm in Berlin this weekend, SF next week, Chicago for the rest of May, and SF for the summer.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or willing to travel or relocate to USA, Hong Kong or Singapore

I'm an all-around programmer interested in different technologies and languages such as Ruby / Python / Java, Kotlin, Clojure / C / Haskell / C# / Android with an experience of around 5 years.

I became a freelancer over 2 years ago, left home in Russia, relocated to Southeast Asia and since then have been learning as much as I could and had to working full-time. As a freelancer, I learned I could come up with the zinger of a solution to a problem I have if it could be solved at all. And I'm the one who would be responsible for getting it solved.

I'm also stoked about learning functional programming, finance and IT security.

I’m down for being paid in bitcoins.

Languages: Ruby, Python, JVM (Java/Kotlin), Haskell, C#, C, SQL, JavaScript; Rust and Swift;

OS: Linux and Mac (most of the time); Android; Windows;
