Hi HN readers,<p>After spending 7 months building a startup with my friend that I subsequently chose to end development of, I'm looking for some work to make some extra money and keep my mind working.<p>Since moving on from my startup I've found myself under-inspired, under-challenged, and feeling lazy with no commitments or projects to work on.<p>I'm mostly a front-end dev, but taught myself Rails and built out the backend of the startup I was working on. I hosted it on Heroku with a PostgreSQL database. It wasn't really necessary, but for our blog I chose to use a Rails CMS, and hosted it on Digital Ocean with Nginx and Unicorn managing requests.<p>Below are some examples of my work.<p>My personal blog, which is responsive -- it takes inspiration from other blogging platforms but I wrote all the code from scratch.

http://tommaxwell.me<p>I also have some projects on my Github profile that I worked on. Chakra is the Rails app that I wrote all myself.
http://github.com/tommaxwell<p>I have a solid understanding of OO JavaScript, CSS3, responsive design, Rails, and more. Preferably the projects I'm looking for are front-end oriented.<p>You can also find me around the web:
