Quality solutions on time...
I've used Java, PHP and MySQL in various capacities to deliver a highly-customized solution to my clients. What I lack in visual design, I make up for in application design, such that, the applications are versatile for updates / enhancements and the like. I focus on not only the base requirements from the client, but also the potential requirements and enhancements that the client could benefit from.
Work Terms
I'm currently freelancing on the side. I have a regular 9-5 during the day, but can respond to e-mail. Eventually, I hope to make the switch to freelancing full-time, but do not have the client base to do so yet.
I work with Guru on a part-time basis. Much of my work is done after normal business hours, as I owe my attention to my full-time job during business hours. This doesn't prevent me from delivering on deadline though. I'm a hard worker, and I won't bite off more than I can chew.
Payment terms are typically 50% upfront and the rest upon deliverables. If it's a sizable deliverable, the upfront will drop with the milestone payments taking it's place.
I'm all about communication. If I think I have something wrong or mistaken, I'll communicate that to you to make sure you get the product you envisioned.
