Software Contractors' Guild

My aim is excellence, accuracy, and great service!

My work rate is $40/hr when working at home over the internet using a secure connection like VPN, and $70/hr plus lodging and airfare for On-Site work. I'm not willing to be away from home more than 10% of my time.

My interview style is to ask the client to give me their worst problems and 2 days On-Site to show what I can do. I require payment for this time, lodging, and airfare. When I'm successful we have a great relationship.
