Ask HN: Will work for free, anyone need a backend web developer?

13 pointsby jessehorneover 11 years ago
Hello, I am working to build up my portfolio, so I'm looking to offer my web development services freely for anyone that needs some work done. The only thing I ask in return is a testimonial and permission to add it to my portfolio. My skills are primarily with Python and PHP, but have some experience with Ruby as well. I am not as experienced in front end things, but I can get by. My email is j.horne538@gmail.com. I am also on freenode as JesseH

Working for free? Why not OSS? &lt;&#x2F;zoidberg&gt;<p>But seriously, look into any project on Github that catches your attention. Mine, PuPHPet[0], is accepting PRs!<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/puphpet/puphpet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;puphpet&#x2F;puphpet</a>

Jesse is starting out but is more determined than most. He has worked on a commercial game and is interested in internships or similar arrangements. He has demonstrated the ability to pick up new languages and frameworks. Might be an asset for startups with limited funds.

Hi Jesse,<p>We&#x27;re looking to develop a few game like elements into our interactive grammar site, Quill.org. Please check it out and let me know if you&#x27;d be interested in contributing. We&#x27;re an open source project as well. <a href="https://github.com/empirical-org/quill" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;empirical-org&#x2F;quill</a>

Why not use that time to work on a personal project instead? Build something cool and useful and then show it to HN :)

An amazing offer. Are you comfortable with working remote? The project is low pressure (for now), so 2-5 hours suits. Early stage, so will be fun experience wise not only building, but shaping a continuously evolving product. Python&#x2F;Django. Do email if interested (profile) :)

At theneeds we do use PHP (website+api) and Python (backend tasks, crawling, ranking, learning...). Check it out and, if interested, drop me a line.
