I live in Silicon Valley. I am trying to start my own company but need some work to pay the bills. Any startup looking to hire an engineer on a contract?

My primary languages are Python and PHP. Can do MySQL or NoSQL databases. Good experience in scaling. I'd be great at a startup having some scaling issues or just starting out and need to build core features. I can do front-end work but only bug fixes and things like that. I wouldn't trust myself to be a full-time front-end dev. I've worked at 2 startups that have been acquired in the last year and another startup that is really hot right now.

If you are interested or want more information on me email me at hncontractacct@gmail.com (it forwards to my real email) and I'll be happy to send you my resume/LinkedIn.
