We are a US-based company with partnerships that allow us to serve sports teams almost anywhere in the world. Our professionals bring experience in sports, software development and advanced analytics, and hope to push the envelope in delivering you advanced statistics and an easy-to-use video platform

We are looking for multiple contractors based in the US with preference for Chicago or Seattle for ~3 months work producing data visualizations. 

Key skills

• Tableau Desktop and Server
• D3.js
• SQL
• Knowledge of soccer

Please do add your resume, portfolio or links to your work as well as your hourly rate. 

Candidates who are not in the US will not be considered. Work will be partially in our offices but also can be part time telecommuting.

We are looking for a data visualization designer that can create an engaging animated visualization of survey results for a presentation. Our company surveys business executives with the 8 simple questions that identify spending priorities and trends, and compiles the data in a presentation to their business. We need someone who will be able to work with our team to create design concepts of animated data visualization drawing from the meaning and relationships between the questions, and then to implement those animations for presentation in slides. This viz-animation should be reusable so that the survey results (from the same questions but with different answer data) can be presented multiple times. We use Power Point for our presentations so whatever technology is used to animate the visualizations will need to be embeddable in Power Point (GIF or Mini-movie? We are open to suggestions here). We would like the designs to be very flashy and eye-catching and would like to see examples of your previous work or suggested style. The animations should be timed or triggerable so that additional information is revealed on the slide during the presentation. Since we will not have actual survey data until after this project is complete, we will also need you to mock the data for your visualizations.

We are a commercial real estate firm that is in the business of selling properties to investors who in many cases have just recently sold a property. The reasons behind this are not all that important, but we are wanting to collect as much contact information as possible for the companies and individuals behind the companies that have recently sold certain commercial real estate assets in the USA. Our primary interest would be in obtaining contact information (individual names, company names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses as well as some basic property information and sale details) for people and entities that have sold properties in the US that are over $2M in value and that are considered commercial real estate vs single family homes. 

We know that much of this data is public information located in city, county and state tax rolls and assessor's databases, but many times the entities (LLC, etc) are difficult to collate and would require researching corporation registrations with the various secretary of state websites..

We are starting with really no data at all on our end and are looking to pull this information on a regular basis (once a week or bi-monthly would be idea)... An acceptable solution could be to only pull the data for specific geographies, but the ideal would be to have info on every seller of commercial real estate in the US, for properties over $2M in value. 

The data delivery to us would ideally be in CSV, XLS or possibly filmmaker, but a flat table is totally acceptable. The delivery could be to a cloud repository such as drop box or box or even via email. 

The data is very much time-sensitive and a full list of sellers and property data that is older than about 20 days become less valuable to us and once it's over 45 days, it has very little value to us at all.

We want to create a standalone desktop web app that mimics the high-level functionality of top online project plan software.  At the highest level, there will be a project information screen (support for many project plans), data entry screens, a  summary Gantt chart, about 4 levels of sub Gantt drill downs, a dynamic/flexible timescale, and a way to see additional information on a selected Gantt bar among other necessary screens.  The overall design should also be customizable and allow for live interaction (such as dragging a Gantt bar and seeing the effect or having related items rearrange accordingly).

We are looking for a full-stack all-star or team who can design a sharp interface and build out a final demoable solution.  In the end, we are custom building this solution to obtain a better handle on our project plan data so designs/implementations that help us meet our goal are preferred. 

We do not have a preferred tech stack at the moment and open source will be considered since cost is an important selection criterion. 

The final deliverable is a beautiful, tested, deployed, project planning application.

We are a health care consulting and clinical documentation/diagnosis improvement company. We are looking to consolidate numerous different documents and processes into an integrated software solution.

Problem: We wish to take numerous platforms (sFTP, excel, googledocs, etc.) and consolidate them into a user friendly integrated software solution.

We are seeking software design and coding services, once an understanding of our business operations/data flow has been achieved.

Data sources: Clients securely send (via sFTP) basic diagnostic and patient data for hospital stays and clinic visits.  This includes dates, diagnoses, provider names/numbers, billing/coding information, etc.  Once in receipt of this data feed from our clients, we filter the data and extract random samples, assign selected hospital stays to our chart reviewers for evaluation, and compile feedback into a report that is securely sent back to the client.  The reports indicate how accurate (or not) the physicians are in their diagnosis of important medical problems/conditions. A sample of the report is attached. We have 2-3 basic outpatient and inpatient report templates and we create some custom reports based upon specific client needs. 

We would like to explore the option of allowing for various different users views, authority levels, and reporting. Clients should be enabled to upload data and view reports securely, while chart reviewers and other employees and contractors should be able to make additions and edits related to cleaning up and analyzing the data and creating reports.

We use basic programs and platforms currently: microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, googledocs, sFTP site (BrickFTP), and pdfs.

Deliverable: The deliverable is a software application/solution. We are open to the deliverable being either in the cloud or in our environment, but securely and in compliance with HIPAA given the healthcare information we handle.

Which technology stack do you recommend? Please provide an estimate of the timeline and budget for this project.

Globo is the largest Media Group in Brazil and one of the largest in the world as well. Globo TV is the subsdiary of the conglomerate. I am in charge of IT Applications and, as the director, I'd like to have insights about how applications are being supported. 

I want to make discovery on my IT Service Management (ITSM) database and the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) to have those insights such as: - what are the most efficient way to distribute the tickets (incidents and service requests) to avoid tickets to be redirected (and cause extra costs); - what's the redirection map of my tickets since it was opened until it is closed. - is there any relation to variables that may cause an increase of tickets or delay to be treated? - any other insights looking for my database (ITSM and CMDB) and information of service providers ( IBM, Accenture etc)? The deliverables are reports with graphs, tables/dashboards, and  apresentation that show the analysis and insights and suggests recommendations.

For the input, we will provide export files (probably CSV format) of our ITSM (here at Globo we use IBM Maximo) and our CMDB. I think it's good to give you CMDB information because it probably has relation to the insights.

Please see attachments to gain an understanding of the process of opening an incident. Also, keep in mind, there are 4 possibilities to open an incident. 

1 - Incident Window

• Free filling;

• Directed to informed queue independent of the selected IC (Configuration item).

2 - Services Catalog (PORTAL)

• Directed fill;

• IC (Configuration item) defines who will be the resolver.

3 – SPOC (Help Desk)

• By telephone (0800...);

• There is a checklist used by the attendant;

• IC (Configuration item) defines who will be the resolver.

4 - Event Monitoring - Tivoli, etc

• Open incidents according to alerts identified by monitoring applications;

• IC (Configuration item) defines who will be the resolver.

This is the challenge for a highly skilled data scientist. Knowledge in Applications support and ITIL is very important to be productive.
