SEEKING WORK - Remote (primarily); living in Sweden, but willing to travel
I'm a generalist working primarily in the translation industry, with 7+ years of experience in software development (Ruby, .NET, Javascript etc.). If you are building a product, that you'll need localized or already have something you need to translate -- let's talk.
This is really cool. The free demo and the $5 price was just enough to convert me to a paid user for at least for a month. Seriously, this is exactly what I was trying to get to work in a desktop ebook reader or on my Kindle, but unsuccessfully.
Any chance for integrating the Yandex Translate API? (I am learning Russian. The MT quality between Google and Yandex for Russian is sort of a toss; I would say 70% of the time Google is better, but 30% of the time Yandex is.)
Interesting. I've been thinking of incorporating extra translation services for premium users. Microsoft Bing would be another one. It would be nice to show alternative translations although not sure how the UI would work yet. No promises at the moment but I like the idea!
I'm a generalist currently working for a small IT-consulting agency but planning to start freelancing from January, 2015, or if you have a really, really cool full time job, we can talk about that, too, hence my post here.
I solve problems and can learn whatever you throw at me really fast. Contact me if you need someone like that.
I've spent the last year or so doing mostly sysadmin and networking stuff among a crazy amount of Windows servers and Cisco routers. Before that, I've done all kinds of IT-stuff for translation agencies, from custom e-mail servers through integration CAT tools into their Project Management systems to building in-house .NET applications.
Volunteered a few months working out performance issues in a huge Rails 3 app two years ago, caching, mysql tweaks etc. Made an app entirely in client-side JS with the local public transportation's API because, well, why not. (http://github.com/KTamas/nasta)
SEEKING WORK - Gothenburg, Sweden. Remote. May be willing to relocate within Sweden/Norway.

I have experience with C#, Javascript, HTML/CSS, Ruby, shell scripting, Linux/Windows servers, Cisco iOS, CAT tools, Nginx, Postfix, Dovecot, Exchange...
Bottom line: I solve problems and can learn whatever you throw at me really fast. Contact me if you need someone like that.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (Sweden based, travel negotiable)
I can help you setting up localization of your website, product or service and/or optimize your existing workflows. Recently I went part-time on my day job and starting up my own freelancing / consulting company, bringing my knowledge and experience from the translation industry into the start-up world which I'm following and have been interested in for years. I am also interested using my skills solving other problems you may have.
I have over 6 years of experience working in the translation industry doing wearing many hats: I am a Developer (.NET, Ruby, Javascript etc.), a System Administrator (mostly *nix but also some Windows experience), a Language Engineer, occasionally a Project Manager. But more than anything, I'm a generalist: I enjoy solving problems using whatever is appropriate for the task.
Some of my random accomplishments and pet projects are:
- Optimized a large Rails 3 site (http://www.rukkola.hu) for performance, with server-side tweaks and code-level changes (caching, queries etc.). Also created a bookmarklet for the site (https://github.com/KTamas/rukkola_hacks) that has now been shut down because it's features has been integrated into the website.
- Setting up a custom email server (Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, custom Ruby scripts etc.)
- Operating a planet-line aggregator service (http://sharewood.hu) to act as a hub for content-sharing blogs (replacing the now-defunct Google Reader's sharing feature). A complete rewrite of an old aggregator written in Rails (https://github.com/KTamas/sharewood.hu)
