Work Terms
I operate in the Eastern time zone, but I work with contractors around the globe, so for high priority projects, I can offer round the clock development services, to meet any deadline.
I tend to bid by the project, but I'm also happy to work hourly. My base rate is $165/hr., but I strive to be affordable, and to help small businesses leverage the power of IT affordably, so I'm always willing to negotiate lower rates, or even barter for services or products.
