EDIT: I see my comment is redundant as you got the same idea.

nikenticon Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2014)

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Hi! I am a full-stack (mainly back end) developer living in Stockholm, Sweden looking for work.

My specialty is to work out the current best practice for a common solution, such as off-loading back-end tasks to an REST API, making clear design oriented around increasing conversion rate or such.

One of my biggest strength is my wish to be very connected with those I work with and iterate fast to get the result we want.

Some of my previous work have been for: http://VPNTunnel.com & http://anonine.com (back-end development in Flask and automation of VPN server installation) http://Billogram.com (Back-end and front-end development in Python and PHP)

My skills: Front end: CSS (Foundation, Bootstrap, Grid) Back end: PHP (Zend), Python (Django, Flask) Sys/Dev Ops: Puppet, MySQL, RethinkDB, PostgreSQL, REST

Currently most of my free-time goes into learning EmberJS, as I feel that would broaden my skills as a full-stack developer and give me a better way to get the results I want.

Contact me through email, phone or skype. They are listed bellow.

Phone: +46707326062 Email: jonathan.grahl@mail.com Skype: hattifnatt93

Hope to hear from you soon!
