Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (May 2026) Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location, and whether remote work is a possibility. Please only post if you are looking to hire a freelancer or work as one. Small (2-5 person) agencies are fine, but recruiters, job boards, and so on, are off topic here. |
Scoped automation and ops sprints we can take on: - n8n / Make / Zapier workflow diagnostics, API/webhook debugging, error handling, handoff docs - data cleanup/extraction, CSV/Sheets/Airtable cleanup, lead-list QA/enrichment from lawful public or client-provided data - AI-assisted research briefs, technical writing, SOPs, prompt/workflow specs - small prototypes around Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, Gmail, OpenAI, and CRM APIs
Best first engagement: $75-$150 diagnostic or $250-$500 contained build with clear inputs and acceptance criteria. We are building public track record and do not claim public client case studies yet, so a small paid test is the right starting point.

Available for remote work worldwide, very flexible across time zones. Looking for permanent or contract positions.
Hi! I’m Olga, an experienced software engineer looking for frontend or fullstack projects.
I have experience building greenfield projects and complex features that “just work,” as well as diving into complex legacy codebases, fixing “unfixable” bugs, and performing major refactoring.
In addition to React/Next.js and Node/Express.js development, I also have experience with cloud-native workflows (Golang + Kubernetes), OpenAI API integration and agentic workflows, native iOS development, and game development. Thanks to my multi-platform experience, I can help you port large products across different platforms.

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained mission critical, low latency and highly available systems for many companies over the last 10 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly. AWS preferred but not required (I hold a variety of certs, available here: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8)
You will like working with me because I:
* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done
* built the primary streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions! (this was the third of currently four times I’ve built similar architectures for different companies)
* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.
* replatformed dozens of complex quant jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund (~$1B AUM), vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months, including refactoring for fit. This was mission critical cannot-fail stuff and required extensive proof of correctness.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm an experienced Senior Software Engineer, Systems Architect and Microsoft Certified Professional with a passion for software development.
I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET / .NET Core frameworks, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions, encompassing over 30 years of experience in the field.
I'm passionate about distributed systems design, CQRS and event sourcing and a proponent of domain-driven design to ensure that solutions are laser-focused on solving real business problems. I'm an open source enthusiast and advocate using the best and most appropriate tools available, providing for an effective and pragmatic solution that delivers genuine and quantifiable business value.
Throughout my career I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.
Recent projects include:
+ Architected and executed a comprehensive overhaul of a core legacy system, migrating it to a robust microservices architecture. By strategically applying Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, and Event Sourcing, we enabled a prominent African FinTech company to seamlessly scale from 1 million to 10 million active users while achieving a remarkable 30%+ reduction in cloud expenses.
+ Successfully delivered an ambitious project to re-engineer a number of monolithic applications to cloud-native, event-driven distributed services for a leading hospitality software provider as part of a company-wide effort to modernise their entire software estate including training and mentoring staff on event-driven architecture and distributed system design.
+ Designed & delivered a large, global SaaS product to manage and automate music royalty collection and payment for one of the UK's largest and most demanding independent music publishers including full cloud geo-distribution & redundancy to ensure high availability & reliability for the worldwide client base.
+ Spearheaded the creation of a groundbreaking anti-motor fraud solution for a prominent UK law firm. This industry-leading platform combined a user-friendly web application, powerful API, and sophisticated data systems, including Europe's largest anti-fraud database, giving the firm an edge in fraud detection.
