Hello, I hope it’s ok to be posting this here. I’m looking for an experienced Rails developer to take on a fairly simple project and possibly many others in the future. I have the entire project written down and I’m looking to start ASAP. I don’t care where you live or what times you work as long as you really understand Rails and remain reliable during the development process. If you’re interested please mail removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid, preferably with a sample of previous work and I’ll be sending you further details so we can discuss a quote. Thanks ---

Hi. My name is Jamey C… I saw your message on the Rails mailing list and decided to respond. I have 20+ years experience in I.T., mostly as a programmer. For the last 3 years I have been programming in Ruby. Perhaps the best example of my Ruby skills is KirbyBase ([http://netpromi.com/kirbybase\_ruby.html](http://netpromi.com/kirbybase_ruby.html)), a pure-ruby dbms. For the last year and a half, I have been working with Rails. In addition to developing three intranet Rails apps for my day job, I have been moonlighting as a Rails developer for a California-based web development firm. One example of my Rails work is a web app for a real estate agency ([http://brownandco-sf.com](http://brownandco-sf.com)). I am currently working as part of a team re-writing an e-commerce app in Rails for an on-line retailer ([http://store.gspotcenter.com](http://store.gspotcenter.com)). Additionally, I am building a Rails intranet app for an advertising agency in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and am very comfortable working remotely. Between my day job and my side work, I am pretty booked up right now, but I’m seriously contemplating quitting my day job and working for myself full time. With that in mind, I thought I would contact you to get more details about your present project and possible future projects. Thanks. Jamey C.

I currently work at one of those big corporations where you have meetings to discuss having meetings and terms like “concept document” and “metrics” echo off the walls. To be honest, the opportunity to do Rails work on the side, where it’s just you and your client, and they don’t care about corporate mumbo-jumbo, just results, has helped keep me sane over the last year and a half. 🙂 Jamey ---
