Welcome to Codosaur.us, home of Codosaurus, LLC! You've probably got a lot of questions, so let's dive right in. Here are the most common FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Mainly I do custom software development. I'll also help out fellow geeks as a subcontractor, programming pair, etc. If there's anything else likely you want, just ask me.
Mainly web applications, particularly the back end, especially in Ruby on Rails, but I can do many other things too. I've done lots of other server and command-line apps, some front-end web work, a bit of desktop GUI work, and have started dabbling in mobile.
None, sorry! I am booked full-time until about sometime from May to August 2015. After that, I'll be available full-time, though I would prefer to work part-time (30 hours a week or less), for multiple clients. Watch this space -- or sign up on the "Email List Signup" page to be notified.
My rate depends on many factors. My standard rate is $125/hour, for a direct client. I'll lower it for staffing agencies (more so if they bring me the project), W2 status, and other good factors. On top of all that, there's usually some wiggle room. (On the other claw, anything that will make the project less fun will raise the rate.)
Mainly, part-time Ruby on Rails contracts I can do from home. I'll also consider other technologies and various other things, but I am not open to longer contracts on the road, "permanent" employment, or relocation.
Companies of any size, mainly ones that either use software in the delivery of their products or services. You can find some examples, and further explanation, on the clients page.
No.
- Don't bother contacting me about Gannett, Bloomberg, Comcast, OnLife Health, or RBM Technologies. It's not necessarily anything against them, but there are contractual obligations, prior submissions, etc.
- To see what sort of terms I prefer to work on, see my Contract Terms page.
- If you want the gory details of languages, frameworks, systems, etc., see the Technologies page.
Of course, you probably have a lot more questions! Just ask!
