Personal, business, and otherwise.

After several years off of freelancing and being stuck in the corporate world, I really want to work with some new blood, meet new folks, and work on some personal projects.

What I’m willing to do: I’ll happily help build splash and landing pages to get your startup off the ground. I’ll take a design, slice it, and return excellent, semantic, valid markup. I’ll complete the work in a reasonable amount of time. I’ll also build WordPress themes, and take care of general simple page buildout. Also happy to work on more “involved” projects as long as they’re interesting and give me a chance to learn. I’m an experienced developer with PHP, MySQL, WordPress, custom CMS, Javascript (raw JS, Backbone, Underscore, jQuery), and general front-end HTML + CSS. I've been working a lot with Ruby on Rails, web analytics, social media marketing + SEO as well.

What I’m not willing to do: Respond to 75 emails or phone calls a day asking where your gratis product is. I’m doing this to give back to the community and to remove stress, I don’t need any more!

What I expect in return: Nothing! A pleasant testimonial would be enough for me! Maybe a referral or two, but really, nothing is expected at all. I’d be VERY happy to help folks that are financially unable to help themselves right now get off the ground, the satisfaction is all I really need.

My email is in my profile.

I remember every once in a while a few years back, a group of folks would offer their services, gratis, to startups, for a couple hours a week or the like, in exchange for exposure, potential for future paying work, or simply experience.

I've got a good friend who is just getting into development (and hell, even I) who could benefit from this sort of thing again.

I’ve been hard at work at both my day job and have recently ended a year-long run with a side client. I’ve decided to take a couple months off of “real” work, and want to work with some new blood, meet new folks, and work on some personal projects.
