Full Stack Developer

SQL backed web applications - Building the core of the application in PostgreSQL, adding an API layer in python (on google app engine), and overlaying that with Elm based thick javascript client.

Frontend - coding applications with html/css/javascript. Elm-style static- typed model-view-action design

Machine Learning - Putting the data in the right format (python and sql scripts), iterating on feature engineering. Prefer to use Vowpal Wabbit (logistic regression with hashing trick) since this can often do just as good a job as deep neural networks.

Application Scaling - How to shard the application database to beyond what SQL can do (makes sense for machine-to-machine IOT applications, and for high user load applications) (Although this is somewhat mitigated by Google Spanner very recently, can continue to use SQL and not shard)

languages: python, javascript, java, haskell, ocaml, sql, prolog

In summary - Solid full stack developer, can get working right away on your project for reasonable cost and time. Prefer using Google's cloud technologies (app engine python, cloud postgresql) so that devops is reduced to minimum.

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in need of freelance sales help in 2017! We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - [https://www.donationspring.com](https://www.donationspring.com)) and plan to aggressively promote it after the new year. Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.

What I'm looking for:

\- The scope is primarily to find prospects, have initial conversations, identify needs, and provide them as a pre-qualified prospect.

\- Someone with sales/marketing chops. A sales or account exec career history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we'll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality/passion alignment.

\- Experience/familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry.

\- Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit/church prospects.

\- Located anywhere in the US. The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better.

\- Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace. Pay is a traditional commission based on long-term account revenue (negotiable).

\- Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart. Our primary focus is _serving_ both nonprofit/church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech- centric way we can.

If that describes you, I'd love to chat! firstname.lastname@example.com

sean at prome dot ai

After 3.5 years leading Product and doing a global video streaming company turnaround (Piksel, formerly known as KIT Digital), I left last week to build PROME's Biologic Intelligence product for industrial sensors and robotics.

Our team is doing some freelance work to keep the lights on as we're self- funding everything.

I reported directly to the CPO, now the CEO, pulled together teams in Milan (new analytics), Paris (old OVP integration, new HTML5 player), Atlanta (50,000 live events annually), Solana Beach (UX) and York/London (net new microservices video platform) and managed high value customers including former ESPN, VW, Herbalife, and resellers in Japan, LATAM, and the US.

I've got patents in mobile live streaming, personalized linear channels, connected cars with video, and soon Biologic Intelligence. I've founded or been an executive at a number of startups across algo trading, gamification, social video with voice/AI/emotion, mobile apps, and some robotics.

Finally, I've created/invented a number of things in my free time (PROME: emulated the brain and nervous systems of animals in software and robotics plus Humanizing Tech media publication, one of the top 0.007% websites in the world).

I've written articles for Fortune, HuffPo, been featured in CNBC, Pando Daily, The Information, etc and am a top writer on Medium for a large number of topics.

Happy to help you figure out your hairiest of problems and then execute them.

Hi! I have a long history with Ruby and Rails but for the past two years my projects have focused on JS, and specifically on the bleeding edge of React. That said, there have been a breadth of projects in React, from very real time socket powered apps, to CMS apps that benefit from increased interactivity, to native-like graphics and geometry apps. I have some availability at the moment and am happy to talk to you about your project. Even if we don't end up having a business transaction, I'm happy to chat and talk about the technology behind your business and what works and what might work better.

I also have a background in finance and accounting, so if you have an app that deals with money, I think I can add extra value there.

</comment><comment><USER50> SEEKING WORK - London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.

I'm a seasoned DevOps guy with 15 years experience hosting and tuning applications.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - <USER10> name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

\+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

\+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice- based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

\+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

\+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich.

\+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice- based projects

\+ Lots, lots more.

I'm a polyglot, full-stack developer with 17 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres, Chef, and Angular/Ember, although I'm comfortable on a variety of platforms. I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member. I value client satisfaction as highly as technical excellence.

SEEKING WORK - <USER24>

UI/UX designer and front-end developer with solid solutions to your frustrating problems.

I can help you with:

Discovery - Understanding your users and goals is crucial. We can avoid incorrect assumptions and make sure your users are happy and the product a success.

UX Design - User flows and wireframing are a big part of this part. It gives us an overview of the goals and how the user will achieve them. Where key information is provided and discovery potential bottlenecks.

UI Design - This is where your brand and details get added to the wireframes and user flow. Everything has to be consistent with your image.

Front-end development - Implementation can be tricky. Making sure everything looks and works correctly is important. I can work with your developers or on my own to make the product a reality.

All this and a lot more!

I've been big on python testing lately. I've implemented testing for large python projects at two companies now, bring them from 0% coverage to 100% coverage. I'm well versed on mocking tools to isolate components for testing, make tests deterministic, and remove the need for networking (who wants to run tests that rely on third party things).

I've been a remote worker for about half a decade now, so I had a track record of getting things done without direct supervision. I'm also available for other work. I'm a generalist with a vast amount of experience working with web technologies. I am capable of doing system admin and orchestration (ansible is my favorite), backend code (I prefer django and tornado) and frontend UI work (who isn't using react nowadays).

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, NodeJS and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at [http://ifdattic.com](http://ifdattic.com)

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

        * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
        * custom applications for improving work flows (document
          submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)
        * teaching students how to create web applications
        * set up coding standards, testing practices,
          development environment, fix security vulnerabilities,

Former freelancer turned founder looking for freelance work once again. I have more than 10 years of professional experience, mainly as a web developer, but with a wide skillset ranging from typography and copy editing to C coding.

At some point I have worked or regularly work with: HTTP(S), HTML/XHTML/XML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, Dart, PHP, the Zend Framework, Ruby, Lua, Node.js, Python, Java, Scala, C, C++, Ada, Apache, Nginx, Postfix, MySQL, SQLite, Ansible, and Linux servers, and I'm quick to pick up new technology.

Also mentored others in some of the above.

I'm fluent in English and Hungarian, and have experience in translating software and documentation.

I'm willing to put in some long days in the coming weeks, and living in East- Central Europe I may be able to offer lower rates than the more-to-the-West standard.

You can contact me at email@example.com.

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have a little experience making Android apps. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

Highly skilled at:

* Django and full-stack web development (8+ years)

* System administration (Debian Developer, etc.)

* Almost any open source work (see [https://chris-lamb.co.uk/blog](https://chris-lamb.co.uk/blog) for recent examples)

If you are in search of a reputable software developer with a track record of producing high-quality and maintainable code, please get in touch to discuss your needs. As former Technical Architect at Thread.com (YC S12) and Playfire.com I was responsible for two major Django codebases, receiving acclaim from my peers for scaling both the site and the codebase in a maintainable and reliable manner whilst still delivering features at an extremely fast pace.

In addition to significant development on the products themselves, I was sole system administrator, deploying servers and performing low-level diagnostics to investigate performance, security and configuration issues. I also introduced quality assurance tools such as configuration management (Ansible, Salt, cdist), continuous integration/deployment (Jenkins) and code review to detect mistakes and regressions as early as possible.

As a freelancer, I have debugged, designed, and implemented projects in C, C++, Python, Java, Bash/POSIX shell, etc., and I also have assisted technical teams with their infrastructure and architecture so they can deliver better results faster. Native English speaker.

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION of backend components and architectures.

I optimize your backend freeing your developers to keep improving the product.

It is a defined process with clear goals and constrains, if I don't meet the goals in your constraints you will get your money back.

Any process is different to fits different organizations but I usually start with a friendly chat about your problems to understand how performance optimization may help your organization.

After I got the component or architecture to optimize we will define the goal and the constraint for the project.

From then we go on with me documenting any step and any assumption and providing reproducible buildings for your team to try out.

Clearly an NDA will be signed.

Eat Dirt - <AUTHOR> http://luckypeach.com/eat-dirt/ <comment><USER2> Interesting article.

On a somewhat related note, a few years back my GP advised me to eat the odd piece of food that had been dropped on the floor, and to stop cleaning as much; the reason being that a blood test had revealed I was low in zinc. His reasoning was that since dust has reasonable quantities of zinc, I should be able to be adequately provided with it via my environment. Apparently his idea worked, because in the next test my zinc was over the ideal (This _could_ be a fluke, of course).

</comment><comment><USER3> No mention of beneficial microbes, which is what I imagine the primary benefit of this practice is. Soil is loaded with the local microfona.

<comment><USER4> "In addition, dirt might also be a source of beneficial microbes, although it could just as easily be a cause of bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection."

Standing up for cinema - <AUTHOR> http://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/film-making-martin-scorsese/ <comment><USER2> More of the Adam Mars-Jones quote from cited January 4 review[1]:

 _> Even the most relentless book filters diffusely into the life of the reader, while a film suspends that life for its duration. The transposition of a novel like Endo's Silence into film, however "faithful", can only amount to a distortion, an exaggeration overall however many elements of the book are represented. [...] In a book, too, reader and writer collaborate to produce images, while a film director hands them down._

AMJ repeats the common criticism that books are superior to movie adaptations. He also repeats the claim that books are "active" and movies are "passive" entertainment. Those dismissals have been so common for decades since the invention of "moving pictures" that I'm surprised Scorsese even responded to it.

[1] [http://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/subtle- absolutisms/](http://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/subtle-absolutisms/)

<comment><USER3> While wrong, they _are_ based on a very real set of differences to the relationship of the media to the consumer.

That should be celebrated however. Neither is _better_. You can argue the merits and effectiveness of an adaptation but the media it's communicated on has very little to do with that (usually).

I don't know why people treat it as a team sport.

<comment><USER4> Why "wrong"?

Certainly the idea of a book as active and film as passive dovetails with my own experience. Reading a book, well a story at least, to me is a creative process: I create the world the characters live in using the elements the author offers up. Watching a film I get absorbed, hopefully, in to a world that is a _fait accompli_.

Edit: I should say "more active", etc.. I'd agree with the OP that watching a film is still collaborative but in a markedly different way to reading a story.

<comment><USER5> Cinema entirely possesses the capacity to suggest elements of the world which are not defined explicitly, just as books do. In fact I think it's a fundamental misunderstanding of perception to think a film can possibly be a ' _fait accompli_ '. As an easy example, I just watched Tarkovsky's Stalker this past week. The film revolves around the exploration of a physical supernatural phenomenon called 'The Zone'. Yet there is not a single thing on screen to demonstrate the supernatural characteristics of this place, aside from the protagonist's reactions to it.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER6> This reminds me of when Roger Ebert dismissed video games of being incapable of becoming art. Anything that requires creativity to make is art. Different mediums offer different avenues for creative expression as well as different ways of interacting with an audience.

<comment><USER7> > Anything that requires creativity to make is art.

I strongly disagree with this statement, in the context of the definition of "art" that Ebert was using. His definition also excludes the vast majority of movies, paintings, and other things that are generally acknowledged as "art". Ebert was talking about sublime art. It's easy for something to be creative without being sublime.

<comment><USER8> Ebert ultimately had to invent that definition of art when he found himself unable to defend his original premise. Or, really, unwilling,because he didn't want to spend time playing video games so as to bolster his argument.</comment></comment></comment>


Ask YC: So how many Development Technologies do you Know? - <AUTHOR>

Recently I stuck my foot in it when I observed that I know 8 out of the 10 most popular programming languages. Dude, most everybody here can say that! was the response.<p> So is that true? How many technologies do you know? And to count, you need to have developed more than two systems that went into production and has real, live users.<p>If you know more than 2 or 3 of these technologies, speak out! You can help make me look like an idiot. (Not that I need help, most days!) <comment><USER2> I think it was just a matter of you and cellis having a different definition of what it means to know a language. It seems to me that if you code in enough languages that you are running out of fingers to count them on, chances are you can pick up another language (especially a mainstream one) quite quickly.

If you really want to impress Hacker News readers, learn the ten _least_ popular languages :P.

<comment><AUTHOR> I don't think I'm looking to impress, but I'm a hotshot at heart just like every other hacker I know. My outward reason was to make sure I'm not getting run over on the information superhighway. If something like Visual Pig Latin would have come up on the list, there would have been trouble! I'm an old guy who's supposed to be able to teach this stuff -- I'd better know where the heck the market is at, that's all.

Who me? A guy who wants to rule space, time, and the all of the alternate universes? Looking to impress somebody? Say it ain't so! I just can't believe it.

<comment><USER2> I wasn't trying to accuse you of trying to impress people, I was just attempting a joke about how people here are turned off by popular/blub languages.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER3> I'll ask another question. How many Languages do you speak?

I speak Spanish, English and Portuguese.

<comment><USER4> lol...Spanish, English and really shitty German.

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> i know 4.

Building Web Apps With Yeoman And Polymer - <AUTHOR> http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/yeoman/

<comment><USER2> This webcomponents stuff is pretty neat.

The css, html, and js code are all in one place, e.g., [https://github.com/eduardolundgren/google-maps- element/blob/...](https://github.com/eduardolundgren/google-maps- element/blob/master/src/google-maps.html)

This will probably make creating websites easier to manage...

</comment><comment><USER3> I know nothing about Polymer but Yeoman makes trying out JavaScript frameworks so fun and easy that I'll probably try it out.</comment>


Major new bill mandating open access introduced in Congress - <AUTHOR> https://plus.google.com/109377556796183035206/posts/FZFvDhBLTzE <comment><AUTHOR> See, in particular, the Call to Action from the Alliance for Taxpayer Access (ATA):

[http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/action/FASTR_calltoaction.shtm...](http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/action/FASTR_calltoaction.shtml)

The ATA were closely involved in the passage of the NIH Public Access Policy (2008), which makes all NIH-funded research openly accessible within 6 months of being published.</comment>


Ask HN: Is there any open news platform? - <AUTHOR> I am tired of being watching news entirely governed by big companies or billionaires. Are there any news platforms which are wholly run by the people and for the people like us?<p>Nowadays I trust Quora before any other news channels. I try to hear the truth from the people rather than news channels. Though it can be fake/wrong, but I still have faith in it. <comment><USER2> There is one in India called 'The Wire' which is run as a non profit. It is mostly India centric, and run by an editor who earlier was (in)famous for his supposedly leftist ideologies. They have been in operation for more than three years, and have grown solely from the donations of the readers, and no ads or funding from anyone else.

Quality wise: They believe they are the fourth pillar and should be critical of govt actions at a time where other outlets are not really doing it. I dont like their coverage of Science, Technology or sports, but that maybe because I usually get better insights from wired and others. They are really good when it comes to analyzing the political aspects, or sociology (again, subjective) and I liked their articles on foreign policy fallout, and how they were able to predict the fallout of India's diplomatic actions, which no one else did. (not vouching for them, just mentioning my experience.)

<comment><USER3> This particular news platform is notorious for publishing fake news and goes out of its way to push its leftist ideology.One can read the litany of lies published by this platform in the link below.

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> Wikinews is one- not sure how good it is though.

</comment><comment><USER5> I find they all eventually are tainted as they are on a path of profitability or sustainability and that comes by way of ads funded by companies and billionaires.

</comment><comment><USER6> Are we talking general news or tech news? I have a hard time finding non- biased news sources. Oddly enough, 4chan is the best source of news I've found. These aren't bad either:
