SEEKING FREELANCERS / LONG TERM PARTNERS - REMOTE ONLY -<p>KICKASS CODE POET PROGRAMMER NEEDED - API MASHUPS, SAAS, WEB APPS, WEB SCRAPING, ETC.<p>NOTE: I'm not in love with any of the tech I mention below, so if you're interested but don't see your preferred development tool listed, please still get in touch!<p>Let's create code poetry :) If you are a creative, personable developer ANYWHERE in the world who wants to be a part of some cool, challenging projects, please get in touch.<p>I like modular, agile development where we prepare clear specs together to get MVPs to market. Let's target unique market niches and experiment with novel monetization and promotion strategies together.<p>Let's talk about a few of the projects I have in mind and the technology we can use.<p>First, project-wise, here are some things I am pursuing:<p>(1) Niche price comparison sites
(2) Unique web directory sites
(3) SaaS web applications<p>If selected, the first project you'll be working on is in the price comparison niche, specifically related to textbooks. Here's a GORGEOUS example: www.slugbooks.com.<p>When it comes to technology, you are the expert, but here is what I have in mind:<p>(1) Extensive use of APIs (datafeed, aggregator, etc.) to obtain real-time data and communicate or coordinate with other APIs (and utilizing programmer speak like REST, XML, JSON, etc.)<p>(2) Some specific APIs are already in mind, but one will be the Amazon API to utilize their product catalog data for some projects<p>(3) Leaning towards LAMP (PHP/MySQL), PHP frameworks like CodeIgnitor and others, and maybe utilizing WordPress at times to leverage their plugin catalog, obtain themes/frameworks to jumpstart visuals, and take advantage of better out of the box SEO structure<p>(4) Utilizing databases as well as API data to create auto-scaling sites where new pages are created automatically and marked up for SEO and user functionality, as well as maintaining site stability and user value creation<p>(5) SUPER IMPORTANT: Looking to utilize preexisting codebases (e.g., GitHub) whenever possible, as well as themes/plugins, art assets, purchasable solutions, or other ways to jumpstart development by spending a small one-time or monthly fee to save hundreds of hours of work.<p>In other words, no need to own a Pinto when we can rent a Porsche, right? ;) You may be familiar with ThemeForest, commerical WordPress themes (WooThemes, Genesis, Etc.), WPMUDEV, Twitter Bootstrap, and the numerous other sites out there that we can tap for resources.<p>In closing, if you have a familiarity or interest with any of the above, let's talk. Thanks for your time :)<p>CONTACT: fevllc AT gmail DOT com
