SEEKING WORK: Edmonton, AB + remote
Developer (frontend + backend) &#38; Interface Designer
I consider myself both a coder and designer, but I don't half-ass know things -- I'm pretty experienced in both realms. I've done everything from designing the UX/UI for brand new products to building distributed systems on Amazon EC2/SQS/SMS.
A few projects (happy to discuss details via email):
- Self project: <a href="http://myfotojournal.com/" >http://myfotojournal.com/</a> (Django + front-end + design)
- Self project: <a href="http://photobattle.me/" >http://photobattle.me/</a> (Rails + front-end + design)
- Self project: <a href="http://craftingtype.com/" >http://craftingtype.com/</a> (Designed site, copywriting/newsletter, co-organized event)
- I've worked on Carbonmade (<a href="http://carbonmade.com/" >http://carbonmade.com/</a>), TestFlight (<a href="https://testflightapp.com/" >https://testflightapp.com/</a>), Yardstick (<a href="http://getyardstick.com/" >http://getyardstick.com/</a>), and many projects with Lift (<a href="http://www.liftinteractive.com/" >http://www.liftinteractive.com/</a>)
Experience with:
- Python, Django
- Ruby, Rails, Sinatra
- JavaScript (including large apps, jQuery, some Backbone, etc)
- HTML / CSS (including responsive design)
- Interface Design
- Some iOS development (the Carbonmade app I worked on just launched! <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carbonmade/id551454081?mt=8" >http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carbonmade/id551454081?mt=8</a>)
- Totally comfy with git, command line, and sysadmin stuff
I've dabbled in a bunch of other languages and am pretty quick to pickup &#38; be productive in new tech.

I think (hope?!) I'm personable and easy to work with. I'm ideally looking for product development work (as opposed to designing/building brochure websites). Everything is fair game, from a few hours/week of piece work to taking on full projects from start to finish.
