SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

Looking for an experienced iOS developer with deep server knowledge for a paid project. Node+Ruby preferred. Game center experience a plus as well. Design not required. If you've also built for Android that's a plus, but not a requirement. I always like to establish new relationships and am currently testing out a short term project. If it works out for the both of us, follow up projects may be offered. Location is irrelevant, but I have a tight timeline!

Figured I'd try this one with the HN crowd before elsewhere!

Please send links to your apps and contact info with availability and rate range to my HN name on iCloud.

What iOS or Android apps have you built? Can't see any on your site.

Work on increasing user engagement.

If you don't already have push notifications implemented its probably a good time to do so.

Focus on creating either 1.) Better monetization or 2.) Another relevant app to drive users to in order to monetize.

The worst case is when developers owe license fees for components within apps. Pirates can literally make you pay out $0.xx per pirate... Which kills profits fast.

Congrats! Getting your first project out there is always really exciting. Even if it's hardly used... knowing you made something is an incredible feeling.
