Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2026)

2•jon_north•1h 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 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.

SEEKING WORK | US | Remote | chad@chadworks.co

chadworks is a one-person web studio run by me, Chad Lewine. I build custom coded websites and platforms for motivated individuals and organizations that want to double down on authentic digital presence as a counter measure to social media burnout and AI saturation. Every build is written from scratch. No Squarespace, no Wix, no Divi, no Elementor, no templates (unless a template makes sense.)

Recent:

- Rising Compass, https://risingcompass.net - reads popular music against a published rubric and sorts it by the messaging contained in the lyrics

- Chad Lewine, https://chadlewine.com - World's most immersive artist website

- The Illus Caden, https://illuscaden.com - independent publication, custom WP theme

- SFVV, https://demos.chadworks.co/sfvv - freeing the vertical scroll from the clutches of big tech so brands can use the format on their own website.

Twenty years building for the web.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, USA, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained mission critical, low latency and highly available systems for many companies over the last 10 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. 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:

  * hold your goals as my priorities
  * communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
  * my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
  * I guarantee I will get the job done
Concrete examples:

* 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.
