We are a group of 6 working on a startup project with 3 SW engineers working part time but need more Scala/Akka/Spray experienced programmer consultant to help roll out a bare bones server app. We need a good foundation to build on however and highly scalable. Luckily our senior SW engineer knows what he wants to build, lacks the time.<p>What would be best place to find contractor help? Anyone interested?
I don't have experience with Akka specificially, but I have long experience with Scala, and similar web frameworks in another languages.<p>Here is one of my projects in Scala: <a href="https://github.com/Eliah-Lakhin/papa-carlo" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Eliah-Lakhin/papa-carlo</a>
And this is my resume: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26689230/cv.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26689230/cv.pdf</a><p>I would like to work in Akka based startup as a remote full-time contractor(I had been working remotely for years). As a a middle-ware role for start. What do you think?
I work in Scala and Akka everyday at my full time job creating systems to handle video image processing and web client access plus analytics. (I love Scala, warts and all.)<p>I am also a technical reviewer for Scalatra in Action (Manning) and was a technical reviewer for Developing an Akka Edge (Bleeding Edge).<p>I'm looking for remote contract work; post a reply if you're interested. I'm pretty easy to find.
Maybe a Typesafe consulting partner? I work at SoftwareMill, a Scala software house, we're remote & distributed and quite used to the type of work you need. As for our experience, I think the most relevant bit would be moving yap.tv, a Ruby-based TV startup to Scala.
