Ask HN: Contract/Consulting Gigs (September 2010)? In the same vein as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1659409, Who's looking for a short term consulting/contract gigs on HN? I am myself interested in Chicago area/telecommute and something e-mail/server/Linux/perl/ruby related. Post away and thanks in advance ! |
Also, we're 99.9% remote, so telecommuting is obviously OK. :)
Since I never miss an opportunity for a plug and it basically serves as the most meaningful credential in this business, my company has one serious product in the store: http://ballisticpigeon.com/folio (it's on sale this weekend for $0.99 instead of $4.99). I've been doing iOS development since the day the SDK was released (personal projects while I finished up graduate school then proof-of-concept contract work for a startup).
Now I'm hoping to finance my little entrepreneurial endeavor with some interestingly hourly projects.
We're also looking for iOS developers (we've got quite a few projects).
How's that? Anyone interested drop me a line: j@workhabit.com
My email is ebeland at that domain.
- I wrote Orbited (www.orbited.org) - Designed WebSocket handshake (officially recognized by w3c/html5) - Comet session protocol (http://orbited.org/csp) - Hookbox (www.hookbox.org)
I've worked on pretty much every type of related app you can imagine (games, stock tickers, chat, collaboration)

Loginaut is a young, 100% privately-funded startup that is changing the face of custom software by implementing the best project management, software development and quality assurance techniques. Our goal is to become the best at turning client's ideas into reality and create highest-quality software products in fastest, most efficient and inexpensive ways.
After less than a year of operating, we're growing fast and need some like-minded people to join our team. This is a contract-based, not a full time position, but may turn into one.
Who are we looking for: Intelligent, entrepreneurial project managers/business analysts with experience in running agile projects. You will be asked to manage projects, and get paid per project. You can take on as many projects as you can handle (not right away though). This is a perfect situation for freelancers, or for those employed full time and looking for supplementary income.
My email is in profile, send your resume
Thanks
2-hour phone conversation to help us get up to speed with the technologies and to double check our assumptions and architecture.
I prefer back end work, since I'm not much of a designer (but I have a design guy as well). I'd take on a gig only if the client and I mesh, and the work could be contracted out in small chunks, since I already have a full-time gig.
haml/sass/jQuery/RSpec preferred.
Discount for a Rails 3 project!

JavaScript, Python, Django, Perl, HTML, CSS with a focus on real-time web applications.
Latest launched project was an online auction server for renowned Swedish auction house Bukowskis (http://www.bukowskis.com/), built with Tornado and a client written with jQuery, using regular long-polling.
We also have a few Node-experiments under our belt.
We're writing web workflow and project management systems inside of Pearson (the publishing company). It's a good gig with a lot of freedom and an excellent cafeteria. Did I mention how good the food was?
Competitive rates of pay. Likely to close on Monday. Monday is chicken day.
On-site only, no telecommute, sorry. And the food is great.
Would love to get some contract work so I have extra time to work on my startup. Email is in my profile if you want to see some examples of my work.
I and my business partner are available for any Ruby on Rails based projects. Preferably working remotely.
We're currently working with Rails 3, JQuery, Cucumber, RSpec. If anyone needs extra resources or a project completed quickly please message me on the email in my profile.
Contact me directly. Email is in my profile.
Telecommute (we're in LA and SF). Email justin @ menuism.com for more info.
