I am looking for freelance PHP programmers

4 comments

I am looking for freelance PHP programmers with initiative and entrepreneurial spirit to help me, first, take on the surplus of projects that my clients request to me and I can’t accept due to lack of time. On the other hand, but not least important, I would like to find reliable people to form a strong team to undertake and develop some projects I have in mind and others that someone may propose.

Regarding the first scenario, I would like to establish a collaborative relationship in which I would be the interface to the customer and you would perform the analysis and programming tasks that I entrusted after reaching an agreement on the economic conditions of each job, although I ideally would establish a general fee of €X per hour reviewable if any particular case might arise. I’m also a programmer, so you will always have the help and support you need from me to carry out assigned projects. If collaboration in this first stage is successful, I will love to develop the second stage with you.

                  View of the moon Finally, I don’t care if you are a boy or a girl, not your age or your sexual orientation, not your religion or the number of degrees or masters you have. You only have enthusiasm and desire to work. Do you dare to challenge? If so please contact me through any of the ways you’ll find in my homepage. Thanks!

                    Thank you very much to everyone for your interest in this offer. The truth is I’m overwhelmed by the number of responses I received. I will try to answer them all, but I don’t know how long will it take. I apologize in advance if I fail to answer someone.

                    However, if this time can not be, I’ll keep your contacts for future opportunities.

                    Thanks again!

                  • Daniel - 03/08/2012 reply

                    However, don’t be discouraged to continue sending your suggestions. I read and consider all of them. My intention is to form a multidisciplinary team, so your profile can fit even if many other people applied.

                    Thank you!
