I would love to fix bugs / write smaller features on a part-time basis for your project for $$ (rather than equity). I was wondering, with the recent crunch in finding programmers, if anyone would be interested in what I have to offer. I have experience with:

- Ruby On Rails (built a webapp for a startup, as well as fixed bugs for another start-up).

- PHP (fixed bugs for a handful of websites).

- Perl (worked for two years for a firm that ran the Linux-Apache-PostgreSQL-Perl stack).

- SQL, HTML, JavaScript, CSS.

- Specifying systems, getting requirements, managing projects.

I can communicate with you via:

- Instant Messages (MSN, Google-talk etc..), Skype, E-mail, and Phone

- For personal meetings, I live in the SF Bay Area, so somewhere close would definitely be most convenient. That said, I'd prefer to work from home.

For billing I work based on completed tasks, or by the hour. So, what do you think? Is this a fair deal?

Thanks! - V
