Part-time Ruby gigs

[Sebastian Edwards]

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone knew of any part-time Ruby gigs going at the moment. Finding that I have a good number of hours free during nights and weekends (up to 20 hours per week) and I’d like to find a project to fill the gaps and challenge myself in the process.

I’m closing in on having three years of commercial RoR experience and have worked on a variety of projects including back-office, Facebook applications and consumer applications.

I have a wide variety of skills: frontend (JS, CoffeeScript, Backbone.js), backend (Rails, Wordpress) and ops (Chef, AWS). I also have experience configuring many web appliances (apache, nginx, redis, postgres, varnish, haproxy, etc.) most of which I’ve used in a production environment.

I can (sensibly) use git, rspec and cucumber. I’m used to working in a fairly agile environment and understand that requirements can change.

I’m Wellington-based and, as stated, looking for part-time work outside of the standard work-day. I discount my rate for open-source projects. Email me off-list (m...@sebastianedwards.co.nz) if you want to chat about any opportunities.

Cheers,

Sebastian Edwards
