Hey all, I am looking to hire a Rails consultant on an hourly basis to help with planning, configuring, and building a Rails project that I am working on.
I am a one man show and I just simply can't build it fast enough with my limited knowledge of Rails.
Here is what I am looking for:
Someone who can help me out with planning my application by advising on correct ways to build things, which plugins to use, how to correctly configure and code my application based on the project requirements. Currently, about 20% of the application is completed and is in a repository on GitHub.
I am not looking for someone to code this app for me, but simply guide me along as I run into issues, and also be there to check behind me to be sure that I am following good practices. This app (in my honest opinion) has the potential to be a huge success and I want to make sure that it is done properly from the start. I am certainly open to bringing in someone that could refactor code or create small snippets that would be used in the project, but I am not looking for someone to build the entire app for me.
You should obviously have good experience with building Rails applications, and have a good knowledge of Rails plugins and gems, and any Rails eCommerce experience would extremely helpful. Location is not important, as most of this work will take place through email, Basecamp, GitHub, and phone/IM. I would like for you to be in the U.S. if at all possible to make things easier as a whole.
I can't pay extreme hourly amounts for your time, but I think I can compensate fairly well for the work that would be involved by helping me along. I am thinking somewhere in the 25-35 hour range total, but could be more/less. Most of this would be done during evening hours but could be worked in during the day if needed.
If you are interested in discussing the project and the requirements, and you have the free time to help me out please email me off the list at CORY [at] FIVESIDESMEDIA dot COM. I would like to get rolling by the first of next week, if not quicker, with someone on board with me.
Thanks!
