Discounts: I am pleased to offer a 15% discount on open source projects using the GPL and a 10% discount when using other open source licenses. Your project must be released as open source to get this discount. I also offer a 5% discount when we agree to use my standard consulting agreement.
New! Ruby on Rails Fixed Price Quick Start Service
I accept both small tasks (4 hour minimum) and long term projects. Customers receive a detailed daily work log with billing statements.
Minimum billing: I can not accept work on long term low level of effort projects unless customers pay me a minimum 4 hours per week retainer. Small projects that I can finish in a day are fine but are subject to a 4 hour minimum billing.
I have over 25 years programming experience and my customers have been pleased with both how efficiently I work and the quality of my work. Printable copy of my resume
