Immunity is looking for a Google App Engine: Django contract programmer. 
If you know one, let me know.

Description:

This project allows people suffering from food allergies to enter in 
their daily food intake (what I ate and when) and allergic reactions 
(reaction intensity and symptom) and then makes an informed guess at 
what is causing the reactions (which may be delayed by X hours, last for 
X hours, have some noise in the signal, etc).

Often foods packaging does not list all the ingredients (aka, "colorings 
and flavorings"), so this will also be useful to data-mine for brands 
that include allergens that are not specified.

Likewise, entering food ingredients is unfun and only one user should 
have to ever do this per food/brand. This is where Ajax comes into play, 
as you want to make it as easy as possibly to type in the long chemical 
names of things.

The goal is to start at "Simple and Useful" and scale from there. Anyone 
with a child with a food allergy could use this service from launch-day 
and get lots of value. It may turn out, in fact, that "Milk is not good 
food".

Doctor's give you food diaries to fill out - but these don't really work 
as anyone who's tried to use them can point out. Processed foods defeat 
simplistic methods of analysis as the ingredient list is too complex for 
people to correlate.  This project solves that problem.
