My Sales Pitch

Do you have a project that is too small, but too important to leave undone?
Or a project that you don't know how to get started?
Don't have the staff?
Can't find anyone to bid your project?

Contact me - I do fixed price or per hour contract programming, from my office or at your site.
The initial consultation is free!

I am an experienced, self-motivated, self directed, professional contract software developer. My experience is fairly broad, with the majority developing applications (both conventional and web) using C++ and Java (generally in a Solaris/UNIX environment). I have been a full time remote developer (telecommuter) for over two years and a contract programmer for close to seven.

Consider the advantages of engaging my services:

  • I can either work at your facility, or from my office in which case you do not need to provide equipment, office space, benefits, etc. I provide my own equipment (and in most cases purchase my own support software) and can telecommute from my office.
  • You only pay for work that I do for you. Holidays, power outages, equipment downtime, lunch breaks, etc. are not billable.
  • I am easy to contact. When you are looking for answers or action, you will be able to find me. I have multiple phone lines, utilize email and instant messaging technologies and carry a cell phone and pager.
  • I travel whenever necessary for face-to-face meetings, presentations, training, releases, etc.
  • I am an excellent mentor/teacher. I provide documentation, training, and code examples as requested/needed.
  • I work with your systems and processes. If you lack said processes, I help you establish them.
  • I am an experienced user of various VPN (Virtual Private Network) technologies. Use of VPN allows access to sensitive client resources remotely without exposing those resources to the Internet at large.
  • I am used to fast pace, short time frame development.
  • I have Macintosh, Windows 2000, and Linux systems at my disposal.

Please contact me today -
the sooner we talk, the sooner I can help you solve your software development problems!
