Happy New Year to you all.
I wish I was writing to you under more successful circumstances or had some awesome side project to show off. I do have one cool project that will have to wait for the time being.
Instead I am financially hard up and looking for some side work to help reduce debt and help pay for a new baby due in Feb. My wife is an entrepreneur an recently fell on hard-times with her biz. I need to jump in and help save our family at this point. My current fulltime position isn't enough $$ and I need to freelance. Enough sob story.
About me: Experienced Rubyist and general web dev with 6 years exp. I helped build one well-known ecommerce startup from the ground up and recently left after 2 years. I also worked on four different startup side projects in the last 2 years for different entrepreneurs. Email me for the details. I also built web apps for some major Fortune 500 companies.
What I am looking for: One or more moonlighting gigs coding Ruby, Rails, Javascript, PHP or CSS. I can do frontend work well if your just looking for that. I live in the Midwest so my hourly rate is pretty affordable. I need $$ so equity is not really interesting to me at all.
Please check out my profile for links to my portfolio.
Thanks HN!
EDIT: Added PHP to the list
