Hello, I'm Jesse. Please view my resume: http://tefflox.net/JesseCrockett_WebDeveloper.pdf

I have 3+ years exp. hand-writing markup & styling, 1+ year exp. in backend development. I'm looking for 1 organization or individual to give 20-30hrs/wk at about $15/hr.

Looking to build skill levels in Rails BDD and jQuery.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Gibi.

I'm a high school student with a lot of free time and a large (for a high school student, obviously) amount of experience, as well as a year of experience working at a startup.

Favored languages would be C, Java, Python, OCaml, Common Lisp (listed in order of experience with them).

If anyone happens to have some part-time remote programming work for me to do, I'd love to - leave a comment or send me an email at piesquared AT gmail and I'll follow it up.

I think I've actually posted something like this on HN, but didn't get too far.

Thanks!

Perhaps the 'jobs' section should be expanded to allow posting in it (for those who have jobs to offer).

Why are you asking for a low rate of $15/hr? Seems far too low for your experience level.

Seriously, dude, why not approach startups that fit your technical strengths? Going to PG is kind of silly. (Also, having your resume in PDF form only is lazy - if you can code, surely you can get that into decent-looking HTML/CSS.)

The RoR code example in your resume is down. http://pastie.org/private/dozkhmrdgxwauheldxdyw

You list your strengths in your CV, so I would assume you've thought about this: what are your weaknesses?
