Work Terms

Work based on completion of requirements. I will work with you to concretely and correctly define the requirements so there is no misunderstanding. If you/we can define the "What" needs to be done, let me help you resolve the "How" problem.

I'm flexible on how you want to work, but unless we can agree on the requirements (I'll help you formulate them so these requirements are functionally correct, testable, and distinct) it will be difficult to proceed. Time and time again, poor requirements cause poor results.. So, let me help you get those done correctly before we start wasting time and your money.

I will also help advise you as to whether or not your request is feasible given the amount of money/time you think it will take. No need to start something that cannot be done with the wrong budget of time and resources.

I have nothing to prove, I've been around and done professional software for a long time. I am just looking for some odd-job here and there to help get some project going for you.

Chemistry is everything so we can always chat before hand and talk about the high level goals for no cost to you just to get a feel of the project. I don't want to waste my time, and I don't want to waste your money. Let me know here or however guru.com lets us communicate (I suspect they filter messages to avoid out-of-band discussion). Good luck, thanks.
