SEEKING WORK - Remote (Sweden based, travel negotiable)
I can help you setting up localization of your website, product or service and/or optimize your existing workflows. Recently I went part-time on my day job and starting up my own freelancing / consulting company, bringing my knowledge and experience from the translation industry into the start-up world which I'm following and have been interested in for years. I am also interested using my skills solving other problems you may have.
I have over 6 years of experience working in the translation industry doing wearing many hats: I am a Developer (.NET, Ruby, Javascript etc.), a System Administrator (mostly *nix but also some Windows experience), a Language Engineer, occasionally a Project Manager. But more than anything, I'm a generalist: I enjoy solving problems using whatever is appropriate for the task.
Some of my random accomplishments and pet projects are:
- Optimized a large Rails 3 site (<a href="http://www.rukkola.hu" >) for performance, with server-side tweaks and code-level changes (caching, queries etc.). Also created a bookmarklet for the site (<a href="https://github.com/KTamas/rukkola_hacks" >) that has now been shut down because it's features has been integrated into the website.
- Upgrading a Rails 0.14 application to 2.3 (<a href="https://github.com/ktamas/yubnub" >)
- Setting up a custom email server (Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, custom Ruby scripts etc.)
- Operating a planet-line aggregator service (<a href="http://sharewood.hu" >) to act as a hub for content-sharing blogs (replacing the now-defunct Google Reader's sharing feature). A complete rewrite of an old aggregator written in Rails (<a href="https://github.com/KTamas/sharewood.hu" >)
