Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2026)
Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location, and whether remote work is a possibility.
Please only post if you are looking to hire a freelancer or work as one. Small (2-5 person) agencies are fine, but recruiters, job boards, and so on, are off topic here.

For freelancers seeking work - question: Do you have a system for:
- Intake (leads qualify themselves)
- Booking (calendar fills itself)
- Follow-up (no lead leaks) Most don't. Built one that does. Set it up for you in exchange for 10% of first month revenue. james.exec@gmail.com SEEKING WORK | US | Remote OK I am a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Google Style, with experience at both large and small organizations. I can help you build a Platform Engineering practice from the very beginning. I'm looking to help small dev teams increase their velocity by implementing best-practices of Devops: CI/CD, Kubernetes Deployments, and effective Monitoring frameworks. I'm particularly selling my skills in PKI/TLS. My clients are rapidly moving to MTLS for all service-to-service authentication and even for browser-to-service authentication for internal tools. My resume: https://resume.gauntletwizard.net/ThomasHahnResume.pdf My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-hahn-3344ba3/ My Github: https://github.com/GauntletWizard SEEKING WORK: EU, Remote Worldwide I'm a Senior DevOps engineer, Cloud Architect and Infrastructure Engineer. I provide contract or ad-hoc services and support to startups, growth companies and enterprises. I'm often called to set up greenfield DevOps installations, architect and build cloud infrastructures, design platform architectures, build cloud-based, SaaS and mobile products and assist with emergency or short-staffed situations. What makes me unique is that my services are tuned precisely to each of my clients: their products and customers, and the way their teams work. I only provide solutions that fit. Here are some examples of some of my fixed-price services with are often ideal for startups: BOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION HERE: https://ondemanddevops.com/?sid=hn2604F SEEKING WORK: USA Location: Maine (USA) Remote: Only.

Name drops include Red Hat (quay.io), Rackspace (internal tooling), and Equinix Metal/Packet (platform engineering). Also went through NSF's I-Corps startup program in the early 2010s, so I'm relatively business-aware. I left my last full-time role in November to go all-in on freelance work and solo projects (homesteading, indie game dev). Now taking on project-based or fractional engagements. No staff augmentation or pager duty. I bounce between architecture/systems design and hands-on implementation. Looking to build long-term relationships. Side note: I've used Go professionally and am currently enjoying Rust, but compared to my depth with Python, I won't pretend to be a specialist in either. I'd love projects that push me toward more low-level systems programming or are tangent to my homestead (future sensors/IoT) and Game Dev interests. Thanks!

I learn new things extremely quickly. AWS preferred but not required (I hold a variety of certs, available here: https://www.credly.com/users/jon-north.ad78f0c8) You will like working with me because I: * built the primary streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions! (this was the third of currently four times I’ve built similar architectures for different companies) * Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service. * replatformed dozens of complex quant jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund (~$1B AUM), vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months, including refactoring for fit. This was mission critical cannot-fail stuff and required extensive proof of correctness. * built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
