Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2025)

Posted by whoishiring 1 day ago

Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location, and whether remote work is a possibility.

Please only post if you are personally looking to hire a freelancer or work as one. Agencies, recruiters, job boards, and so on, are off topic here.

Hi there! I'm Mark and I've worked alternately as an engineer and entrepreneur for fifteen years, in Beijing, in the SF Bay Area and remotely. Most of my work has been with smaller startup teams, but I've worked at a large scaleup as well. Experience building tech for education, real estate, automated trading, e-commerce and gig platforms. I also have some experience rescuing outsourced projects

I generally work in spurts 1-4 year spurts (either a single role or a series of contracts) and then take an extended break to learn new skills. Now looking for a contractor role at a 5-20 person startup. I prioritize learning and impact.

    SEEKING WORK | Chennai, India | Remote 

    Technologies: Java, Golang, Angular, SpringBoot, Python, Django, Flask, SQL/NOSQL, OpenAPI, LLMs 
    Projects: https://home.alles-tools.com/
    Email: suvarnanarayanan2g (at) gmail.com

I'm a backend developer for the most part but I also do full stack development if the UI isn't highly complex. Before I got laid off - I was making it @ Autodesk.

I have quite some experience dealing with LLM based applications - taming them into giving more sane answers. The best one that I have built so far lets you attach to any data sources (SQL/NoSQL/Files) etc and then just ask questions about them. Literally any question (even outside the schema) and it never makes up stuff.

My going rate at the moment is $5 per hour (subject to complexity and my preference) - capped at 8 hours a day for 5 days a week, which is around $200/wk at minimum.

I am very transparent about my work and I do not ask for payment beforehand and no compulsion to pay if work is not up to your standards. Also, before I take you as my client, we will do a call - this helps me to have a measure at your expectations/requirements and helps to build a bond which is something I really value.

If you prefer - you could directly schedule a meet @ https://calendly.com/suvarnanarayanan2g/30min?month=2025-07

If you cannot make the slots to work for the calendar above, please shoot me an email and I will do a meet at a time you are comfortable with. Cheers!

SEEKING WORK - Remote - A designer who can code! I have 14 years of experience in Fin-Tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more. I've taken countless projects from 0 to 1 and worked for clients like JPMorgan Chase, Santander Bank, Rob Walling, Trello, Peter Diamandis, Syncthing, SimplyCredit and others. I'm experienced in Vue.js, Django, Phoenix framework, Quasar and many others, I've worked with most web tech stacks out there. I pick up new tech easily and like working on complex products. Case studies are on my website: https://gilli.is.

I can provide the following for you:

- Product Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of your product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product. This is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the result since there is less wasted effort. I've worked with a wide range of frontend and backend technologies and can hit the ground running on new projects. I pick up new tech quickly, which makes it easy for me to adapt to different environments.

- Analysis — Your users, know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit, and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go for free.

I take my work very seriously and put a lot of work into excellent communication, proper planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.
