I run a productized service (columnline.com) serving high-ticket AEC / CRE clients, and I'm looking for a UI/UX & visual design specialist to OWN product design for the core service plus ongoing client work. The product, brand, and style already exist — I grew fast and accumulated some design-system debt. I want someone to punch it up, build systems around it, and make quality consistent across the board.

What you'd own:
- Build a reusable component library and implement a real design system
- Level up the existing product UI/UX and brand consistency
- Produce high-quality custom design for client projects on a recurring basis
- Enable rapid, high-quality custom solutions for high-ticket clients

Stack & tooling:
- We work on a Next.js / Vercel / Supabase stack
- You should be comfortable using AI tools to move fast — Claude or Codex, plus things like Higgsfield and Remotion
- A portfolio is required and will be prioritized

Who this is for:
This is a deep specialist role — if you live for buttons, hover states, loading screens, icons, spacing, and visual polish, this is your lane. I want tunnel-vision on design quality, not generalists.

Who this is NOT for:
- Total beginners
- GTM engineers / cold email / Make / n8n folks
- Dev shops shipping MS PowerApps
Please don't pitch me on something else entirely.

The deal:
- Paid 1-month trial at $1,400 to see what you can do on design
- Strong work → ongoing monthly retainer with lots of project volume

Fluent English is required. I'd prefer someone with working hours reasonably overlapping U.S. Mountain Time, but it's a preference, not a blocker. To apply, reply with your portfolio and a short pitch.

I’m working on a relationship app to launch on iOS and Android. I have a Product Requirements Document and a clickable HTML prototype demonstrating the intended user flows and visual direction. I’m looking for someone to take this from prototype to production. The PRD and prototype are ready to share under NDA.

Python developer for local Outlook email operations dashboard — staged fixed-price build

API prototype, Supabase, media dashboards and SDK to be built.

Project Overview
I am an individual hobbyist seeking an expert Quantitative Developer / Machine Learning Engineer to build a robust, local predictive modeling system ("quantitative learning machine") for Major League Baseball (MLB).

Please note: This is a strictly non-commercial, personal project. I am not a business, corporation, or syndicate, and this system is not intended for resale, commercial distribution, or public deployment. The entire ecosystem will be hosted and executed locally on a single machine for private research.

Core Markets to Model
The system must generate research outputs for the following specific markets:

Moneyline (Full Game)

First 5 Innings (F5):

No Run First Inning (NRFI):

Technical Requirements & Scope
100% Local Execution: The model must run entirely on my local machine (Python-based environment preferred). No AWS, GCP, web servers, or cloud dependencies.

Data Ingestion & History: Scripts to clean, store, and update historical MLB data locally. The architecture should support deep historical data (e.g., public sources like Statcast, FanGraphs, or Retrosheet data formats).

Feature Engineering: Integration of advanced Sabermetrics (wOBA, FIP, xERA, K-BB%, Barrel%, Park Factors, Weather, etc.).

User-Friendly for a Private Operator: Because this is for personal use, I require clean, well-documented scripts or a straightforward local workflow so I can execute updates and run the daily slates myself without needing a system administrator.

Total Runs (Over/Under): Full game and F5 team/total run projections.

Developer Requirements
Proven experience in quantitative sports modeling (MLB preferred).

Deep understanding of baseball analytics and how to capture game flow.

Expertise in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-Learn, XGBoost/LightGBM, etc.).

Legal Disclaimers & Terms (Non-Commercial & Private Use)
Private & Non-Commercial Status: The purchaser is a private individual and not a business entity. This project is commissioned solely for personal, recreational research.

Data Source Recommendation: The developer is strongly advised and expected to utilize legally accessible, publicly available data sources for the training and operation of this model.

Limitation of Liability: All deliverables, code, algorithms, and architectural structures provided by the developer are accepted by the purchaser "as-is." The developer agrees that the individual purchaser holds absolutely no liability for the algorithmic logic, flaws, or mathematical outcomes of the model.

Regulatory and Compliance Indemnity: The individual purchaser shall not be held responsible for the operation, functionality, or downstream performance of the model. It is the mutual understanding of both parties that the utilization of this model must strictly comply with all local, state, and federal laws pertaining to data usage, sports analytics, and the terms of service set forth by third-party data providers. The developer acknowledges that the purchaser assumes zero liability for any external terms of service violations incurred during the developer's research, data gathering, or scoping phase.

We are looking for an experienced full-stack developer or small development team to build a custom client portal platform for a growing digital services company.

The software will function similarly to platforms like ManyRequests, AgencyHandy, Spp.co, or other agency client portal tools, but with a more customized workflow built around a white label agency subscription and credit-based service model.

This will be a private, custom-built platform used by agencies and their clients to submit work requests, manage projects, track credits, review deliverables, communicate with our team, and manage white label production.

We are not looking for a basic website or simple dashboard. We need someone who can think through SaaS architecture, permissions, clean UX, billing logic, admin workflows, and scalable development.

Core Platform Features Needed

The platform should include:

Agency Dashboard

Each agency should be able to log in and view:

Active projects
Submitted requests
Available credits
Credits used
Rollover credits
Expiring credits
Client accounts/pods
Deliverables in progress
Completed work
Messages and updates
Uploads and approvals
Credit-Based Subscription System

The portal needs to support a flexible credit model where agencies purchase monthly credits and spend them on different deliverables.

Features should include:

Monthly credit allocation by subscription plan
Credit usage tracking
Manual admin credit adjustments
Rollover credit logic
Credit expiration rules
Add-on credit packs
Different credit costs by service type
Credit estimates before work begins
Approval workflow before credits are deducted
Ability for admin to mark credits as pending, used, refunded, or adjusted
Client Pod System

Agencies should be able to create separate client “pods” or workspaces.

Each pod should have:

Client name
Client contact details
Assigned projects
Dedicated credit usage
File uploads
Deliverables
Notes
Status tracking
Internal-only notes visible to admin/team only

This is important because agencies need to track which of their clients are using production capacity.

White Label Features

The software needs to support white label agency workflows.

This includes:

Agency-branded client-facing portal
Custom logo upload
Custom brand colors
Optional custom domain/subdomain support
White label deliverable presentation
Ability for the agency to invite their own clients
Ability for our team to work behind the scenes
Admin control over what the agency/client can see
Separate internal notes vs client-visible notes
Role-based permissions
Request Submission System

Agencies should be able to submit different types of requests using structured forms.

Example request types:

Website design
Webflow development
Landing page
Branding
Logo design
SEO page optimization
Website audit
Ad creative
Case study design
Sales deck
Proposal support
Maintenance request
General task

Each request form should allow:

Project name
Client pod selection
Service type
Description
File upload
Reference links
Priority level
Desired deadline
Credit estimate
Admin approval
Status tracking
Credit Modifiers

The system should allow credit multipliers or adjustments based on request type.

Examples:

Standard delivery: normal credit cost
Priority delivery: higher credit cost
Rush delivery: higher credit cost
Senior creative direction: additional credits
Client-facing call support: additional credits
Launch support: additional credits

Admin should be able to control these manually at first.

Project Management Workflow

The platform should include a clean workflow for managing tasks and deliverables.

Statuses may include:

Draft
Submitted
Awaiting Estimate
Estimate Sent
Approved
In Progress
Awaiting Feedback
Revision Requested
Completed
Archived

Each project/request should have:

Timeline

Internal admin notes
File attachments
Deliverable uploads
Approval button
Revision request button
Credit activity log
Admin Dashboard

Admin should be able to manage:

Agencies
Agency users
Client pods
Requests
Projects
Credits
Subscription plans
Credit packs
Service menu items
Team members
Permissions
Deliverables
Invoices/payment status
Platform settings

Admin should be able to manually override credits, project status, delivery estimates, request types, and user access.

Service Menu Builder

We would like a system where admin can create service items with estimated credit ranges.

Example:

Landing page design: 10–18 credits
Webflow page build: 12–20 credits
Homepage design: 20–30 credits
Website audit: 5–10 credits
Brand concept: 25–50 credits

Ideally, agencies can view a white label service menu showing what they can request, while admin controls the actual credit logic.

Billing & Payments

The system should ideally integrate with Stripe or another payment processor.

Needed billing features:

Monthly subscriptions
Credit packs
Plan upgrades/downgrades
Payment status
Failed payment handling
Admin-managed plans
Invoices/receipts

Optional manual billing support

We are open to using Stripe Customer Portal if that is the fastest and most reliable solution.

User Roles

The platform should support multiple user roles.

Examples:

Super Admin
Internal Team Member
Agency Owner
Agency Team Member
Agency Client
Read-Only User

Permissions should control what each user can see and do.

Preferred Tech Stack

We are open to recommendations, but we are considering:

Laravel / PHP
Next.js / React
Node.js
Supabase
PostgreSQL
Firebase
Bubble or no-code only if highly scalable and clean
Stripe for billing
AWS, Vercel, or similar hosting

Please recommend the stack you believe is best for this type of platform.

We care most about:

Clean UX

Continuing Education Course Approval & Compliance Coordinator
Location: Remote
Must be a native English speaker from an English speaking country.
Task based
About the Role
We operate continuing education platforms serving licensees across multiple states. We're expanding into new states (Illinois, and others) and need someone to own the entire course-approval lifecycle — from identifying what we need to offer, through getting it approved by the state licensing board, building the actual course, and keeping it compliant and renewed year after year.
This is an end-to-end ownership role. You will be the single point of accountability for each state and each course offering: A to Z.
What You'll Own
Regulatory research
Research each target state's CE requirements: required topics, mandatory hour breakdowns, course categories (e.g., core/mandatory vs. elective), instructor and provider qualifications, and approval pathways.
Track the specific rules of each licensing board (e.g., Illinois, and other state real estate commissions) and translate them into a concrete plan for what we need to submit.
Application & approval
Complete and assemble provider and course approval applications for each state, including all supporting documentation (course outlines, timed agendas, learning objectives, assessments, instructor credentials, certificates of completion samples).
Submit applications, pay/track fees, and manage the back-and-forth with board reviewers — responding to deficiency notices and revision requests until approval is granted.
Course development
Develop the actual course content we'll offer for each approved topic — outlines, slides, written materials, quizzes/exams, and answer keys — built to satisfy the board's requirements and our platform's format.
Coordinate with subject-matter experts, writers, or AI-assisted content tools as needed.
Compliance & renewal
Maintain a master calendar of approval expiration dates and renewal deadlines across all states and courses.
File renewals on time, update content when regulations change, and keep all course materials and records audit-ready.
Monitor regulatory changes in active states and flag anything that affects existing offerings.
What Success Looks Like
New state offerings go from "we want to enter Illinois" to "approved and live" without items falling through the cracks.
No course ever lapses due to a missed renewal.
Applications come back approved with minimal deficiency cycles because submissions are thorough the first time.
Qualifications
Strong project management and organizational skills; comfortable owning many parallel deadlines across different jurisdictions.
Excellent written communication — you'll be drafting applications, course materials, and formal correspondence with state agencies.
Detail-oriented and comfortable reading and interpreting administrative regulations and statutes.
Self-directed; able to run a process end-to-end with minimal hand-holding.
Nice to have
Prior experience with continuing education, professional licensing, accreditation, or regulatory submissions (real estate, insurance, nursing, etc.).
Instructional design or course development background.

We are seeking an expert in Inkscape automation and vectorization scripting to enhance our graphic design processes. The ideal candidate will have experience in automating repetitive tasks and optimizing vector graphics for various applications. Responsibilities include developing scripts to streamline design workflows and ensuring high-quality output. Familiarity with Inkscape's scripting capabilities and a strong understanding of vector graphics are essential.

Role Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled automation programmer to build a custom scripting solution that automatically processes large batches of raster images (PNG, JPEG, etc.) into vectorized SVG files. The ideal candidate will combine Python scripting, Inkscape's CLI capabilities, and image processing knowledge to build a seamless, headless batch processing pipeline.

Key Responsibilities
• Develop and optimize a script (via Python, shell script, or custom Inkscape extension) to automatically ingest folders of raster images.
• Automate Inkscape's "Trace Bitmap" functionality so it successfully processes thousands of images without manual intervention.
• Implement error handling and logging to flag corrupt or poor-quality input images.
• Optimize the output SVG files for scalability, clean node reduction, and appropriate layering.
• (Optional) Develop a user interface or simple configuration file that allows non-technical team members to launch and manage the batch jobs.

Technical Skill Requirements
• Inkscape & Vectorization Expertise: Deep understanding of Inkscape's internal vectorization algorithms (potrace and autotrace engines) and how to invoke them programmatically.
• Command-Line Interface (CLI): Proven ability to automate Inkscape in "headless" mode using CLI flags, specifically utilizing Inkscape’s --actions system for batch processing.
• Scripting Languages: Strong proficiency in Python (specifically using the inkex library for building Inkscape extensions). Shell scripting (Bash/PowerShell) for directory iteration is highly desired.
• Image Processing Fundamentals: Familiarity with image formats, color quantization, brightness thresholds, edge detection, and centerline tracing.
• File & Directory Management: Experience writing scripts that handle heavy I/O operations—reading thousands of files from a source directory and organizing outputs into designated target folders.

Qualifications
• Minimum of 2 years of experience writing scripts or plugins for vector graphic software (Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, etc.).
• Familiarity with SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) markup and XML manipulation.
• Portfolio or GitHub repository demonstrating past automation, batch processing, or pipeline building projects

Basics of project:
By activating the Inkscape/Python 'scripts' on our personal local computer, we will be batch processing 1 - 100 raster images from a shared Google drive folder into Inkscape/Python, which the script will automatically process each image individually into the required SVG (vector) image then saving back to a different Google Drive folder. There will inevitably be a few cycles of R&D & testing (as we will be developing 2-3 separate scripts) until it they meet all of the output requirements, so please be prepared for this.

Do not apply if you don’t have the required skillset to achieve our desired artifacts successfully.

SVG Steps Layout for Inkscape:

Raster (Regular images; Non-AI) - Script One
1. Raser Image converted to SVG
2. Image needs to be moved from color into grayscale format. Would prefer the final image output setting to be in RGB 100% black, however, CMYK 30% black will work for us
3. The SVG image is saved in at least a minimum of 5-inch by 5-inch size. This allows a decent size image to be website placement ready, so the consumer has a good image size to view and work with once uploaded into the image designer.
4. Final Image saved as an SVG file

Raster (AI Generated Images) - Script 2
1. AI Generated Image converted to SVG
2. Image needs to be in grayscale. Would prefer the final image output setting to be in RGB 100% black, however, CMYK 30% black will work for us
3. Line weight of the image lines need to be set at a line weight width of at least .725, after the SVG image conversion creates the vector lines
4. The AI Generated Image is saved in at least a minimum of 5-inch by 5-inch size. This allows a decent size image to be website placement ready, so the consumer has a good image size to view and work with once uploaded into the image designer.
5. Final Image is saved as an SVG file

We are a patent-backed, pre-launch luxury handbag venture seeking an expert Forum Growth Hacker and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Specialist to spearhead our grassroots customer validation and waitlist architecture.

We have no choice but bypass traditional paid ad channels. Instead, we are executing a highly concentrated, narrative-driven strategy focused entirely on text-based community seeding across Reddit and elite luxury fashion forums, paired with conversational AI search optimization.

Our product is a revolutionary Modular Bag System (MBS) and an animation that demonstrates the system is available at our website (link to the website will be made available to ‘good fit experts’ that respond to this advertisement).

It is the first of at least two planned patented modular handbag system. Think "Pandora Jewellery But Handbags”— by means of MBS1, from a wide choice, a customer will be able to choose up to four individually fully functional handbags (handbag components) to assemble together to self-design a single personalised handbag with all compartments structurally merging into a single compartment. Put in other words, imagine customers walking into a Pandora store but instead of walking out with a self-designed personalised piece of jewellery the customer walks out with a personalised handbag.

The USPs of the MBS1 are strictly based on combinatorial mathematics. Those USPs are of significant benefit to the $72.4B luxury handbag industry and at least two other types of stakeholders.

** Scope of Work: **

*Dual-Platform Narrative Seeding (Reddit & The PurseForum): Craft and manage highly authentic, value-first founder threads within high-intent style and product design communities. Your targets will be split between Reddit (e.g., r/handbags, r/ProductDesign) and the main contemporary design boards on The PurseForum (the world’s largest, most elite community for affluent luxury handbag collectors). You must know how to build viral, data-driven conversations around inventory compression, personalization, and wardrobe utility—targeting the absolute global concentration of affluent consumers while they are actively discussing existing industry pain points—without triggering moderator spam filters.

* Profile Funneling & The Conversion Bridge: Optimize our Reddit and forum profile setups with clear tracking links (UTMs) and high-converting bio copy. Because these communities ban direct commercial links, you will masterfully implement a "Profile Funneling" mechanic—ensuring users intrigued by your organic threads natively click our profile bios to be bridged safely to our landing page (featuring our 3D mechanical animation) to capture the paid £10 priority reservation slot.

* Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Strategically position, phrase, and index our brand discussions across these public digital hubs. Your goal is to ensure that when prospective investors or tech-forward consumers prompt conversational AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) for modular fashion or luxury inventory innovations, our IP is actively crawled, recognized, and recommended by the models.

* Semantic Keyword Bridging: To execute our GEO objectives effectively, your strategy will involve advanced semantic anchoring. I will supply you with our proprietary, maiden keywords and definitions that structurally define the MBS1. Your objective will be to bridge these unique, uncluttered terms directly alongside the high-volume, established macro search phrases that consumers and VCs are already prompting into AI engines—effectively teaching the LLMs that our architecture is the definitive, authoritative solution to those market queries.

** The Funnel Objective & Deliverables: **

** Our Primary Goal: We aim to build a high-fidelity, cash-validated waitlist of prospective buyers who have each committed a GBP 10 priority production slot reservation. This waitlist is not merely a marketing metric; it represents cold, cash-backed proof of consumer velocity and market demand.
This validation dataset will be leveraged directly to secure a target seed investment of at least GBP 250,000 on or before September 30, 2026. This capital will be employed to finance our official manufacturing run, establish our back-office operations, and launch our patented modular handbag system (MBS1) to the global market.

** THE SUCCESS-LINKED PREMIUM ** Because we want a true growth partner who shares the risk and reward of this timeline, we have structured a highly competitive performance incentive. In addition to an agreed baseline setup milestone, you will be awarded an accelerated, performance-based contract milestone bonus funded and released entirely through Upwork’s escrow platform. This milestone bonus will be calculated as exactly 50% of the total GBP 10 validation deposits generated by your campaign prior to our institutional closing. (For example, if the campaign generates 3,000 priority reservations, resulting in a GBP 30,000 validation pool, your performance milestone bonus will be exactly GBP 15,000, released directly through your Upwork contract).

Your primary success metric is driving high-intent traffic to our landing page (which features our 3D mechanical animation), where our conversion funnel captures a paid £10 micro-deposit priority reservation slot alongside a secondary free waitlist path.

1. The Validation of "Skin in the Game" (The £10,000 Pool)
What it proves: You aren't presenting an email list or a social media follower count (which investors discount as "soft data"). You are presenting 1,000 cash-validated customer profiles who pulled out their credit cards to secure a placeholder for a product that does not physically exist yet. In early-stage consumer investing, a paid micro-deposit is the highest fidelity market validation possible.

2. The Unvarnished Voice-of-the-Customer (VOC) Swipe File
What it proves: The organic Reddit threads will generate thousands of raw, unprompted comments from handbag collectors critiquing the current $72.4B marketplace. You will present prospective Strategic Partners & Co-Founder Venture Builders with a indexed archive of real consumers saying: "I am so tired of my closet being full of single-use bags," or "A merged single compartment is exactly what I've been looking for." It proves to such entities that your engineering solves an existing, active frustration voiced natively by their target demographic.

3. LLM Recommendation Dominance (The AI Moat)
What it proves: Because of the expert freelancer's Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) work, when the executive team of a prospective Strategic Partner tests your claims by typing into ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity:  "What are the most innovative modular architectures in the luxury handbag industry?" or "What are the most innovative modular architectures in luxury fashion?" , the AI will actively state your company name. You can show them that you have future-proofed your market presence, effectively capturing organic AI search visibility over your competitors.

** What We Look For in a Candidate: **

* Proven mastery of Reddit’s unique community culture, formatting, and anti-spam moderation guidelines, alongside direct experience navigating traditional luxury forums (specifically The PurseForum or high-end style hubs).

* Deep literacy in forum psychology, organic lead generation, and tracking traffic attribution parameters.

* Stellar, sophisticated copywriting skills capable of speaking logically to design purists and emotionally to affluent luxury consumers who understand leather craftsmanship and hardware durability.

* A disciplined, milestone-focused mindset comfortable working within a highly optimized pre-seed budget.

** If You Plan to Explore Getting Involved:
Please initially, provide a brief overview of a campaign(s) where you successfully generated organic traffic, brand authority, or lead generation strictly via Reddit or high-intent web forums.

We're building a voice AI product and need an experienced engineer to design the architecture and build a complete, working voice AI system from scratch. It needs to be production-ready enough to demo to a real client.

This is not a "follow my spec" project. You'll make the architecture decisions yourself. We want someone who has built voice AI or real-time AI systems before and knows how to structure one cleanly.

What you'll build:
An end-to-end voice AI pipeline covering inbound call handling, speech-to-text, LLM-based intent understanding, and text-to-speech response. On top of that, appointment booking integration with an external scheduling system via API, call logging to a database, and basic error handling and fallback logic for failed calls.

You should have:
Proven experience building voice AI or real-time conversational AI systems. Strong API integration skills across webhooks, async workflows, and third-party systems. The ability to design system architecture independently, not just implement a spec. Familiarity with tools like Twilio, Retell, Vapi, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, or equivalents. And clean, production-quality code with proper error handling, not a fragile demo.

This isn't for you if:
You've only built text-based chatbots and never worked with voice or real-time systems. You need a detailed technical spec before you can start. Or you haven't shipped a working AI system before.

Deliverables:
Working voice AI receptionist, tested end-to-end with real calls
Source code with basic documentation covering setup instructions and an architecture overview
Short walkthrough via Loom or a live call demonstrating the system working

Email & SMS Designer — Figma Expert | Retention Marketing Agency

About this role
We run email and SMS retention programmes for ecommerce brands. We're growing and need a designer who executes at a high level, thinks independently, and can manage creative output across multiple client accounts simultaneously.

Figma is your primary tool — not just for mockups, but for full production-ready email design with proper design systems, components, and organised file structure. Canva is used for fast asset creation alongside it. Both need to be second nature.

What you'll be doing
- Design all client emails in Figma: campaigns, flows, sequences to production-ready standard
- Build reusable design systems and template libraries adaptable across client brands
- Design pop-up and sign-up form visuals mobile-first, on-brand, conversion-focused
- Produce campaign graphics in Canva quickly when speed is the priority
- Manage design output across up to 5 client accounts, each with its own visual identity
- Originate design concepts from briefs — you decide layout, hierarchy, and visual approach without being told
- Proactively propose and execute A/B test variants
- Deliver clean, organised Figma files proper naming, components, and structure every time

Requirements
Figma: Expert-level. Components, auto-layout, design systems, and clean file structure expected as standard
Canva: Expert-level. Brand kit management and fast-turnaround campaign graphics
Klaviyo awareness: You don't need to build in Klaviyo, but you must understand how emails render inside it, block structure, mobile behaviour, image sizing
Portfolio: Required before any further conversation. Must show campaign emails, flow sequences, and ideally pop-up form designs — all in Figma
Multi-account experience: You've managed design across multiple client brands simultaneously and maintained quality across all of them
Independent thinking: You initiate creative decisions and treat a brief as a starting point, not a ceiling

This is not for you if
— Figma is not your primary tool or you use it only for static mockups
— You need detailed layout direction for every email
— You've never managed more than one or two client accounts at once
— You ship designs without checking mobile rendering

How to apply
Skip the generic cover letter. Address all three points directly or your application won't be reviewed.

1: Portfolio first. Share a link or attachment showing your Figma email design work — campaigns, flow sequences, and pop-up forms. No portfolio, no response.

2: In 3–5 sentences, describe exactly how you manage design quality when you have briefs from multiple clients due in the same week. Be specific about your process.

3. Your ability to read briefs and copies

3: State your expected monthly rate within the $500–$600 range and your current availability.
