SEEKING WORK: Edmonton, AB + remote

Developer (frontend + backend) & 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: http://myfotojournal.com/ (Django + front-end + design)

- Self project: http://photobattle.me/ (Rails + front-end + design)

- Self project: http://craftingtype.com/ (Designed site, copywriting/newsletter, co-organized event)

- I've worked on Carbonmade (http://carbonmade.com/), TestFlight (https://testflightapp.com/), Yardstick (http://getyardstick.com/), and many projects with Lift (http://www.liftinteractive.com/)

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! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carbonmade/id551454081?mt=8)

- Totally comfy with git, command line, and sysadmin stuff

I've dabbled in a bunch of other languages and am pretty quick to pickup & 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.
