Looking for employment or business partnership
 

For some reason, I had the best work experience with people on this discussion board, so that's why I'm posting my ad here. I am a professional LAMP developer and team manager (I was working as CTO in web/application development companies). My experience includes, but not limited to:

- 15+ years experience in programming
- PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript - 80th level
- Experience in High load projects
- Responsive design, mobile ready web applications
- Team management
- Complicated algorithms
- Creativity
- A lot of fresh ideas
- Knowledge of modern technology
- Ability to complete absolutely any job, no matter how complicated is it
- Educability
- Ambitiousness (it is different from just ambitions and empty promises)
- Reliability
- High quality work standards
- Perfect reputation

I also have a popular open source project and planning to release some of my code as open source (mostly Wordpress and jQuery plugins).

I am looking for the best developer opportunity in my life. I am not looking to be a regular developer, and I'll explain why.

Let me tell you my story.

Since 2003, I ran a development company, but I could not handle both development and marketing, so it has failed on marketing issues. So I am a 100% tech person, that's why I need a partner who is a businessman and can handle marketing.

In 2007, I met a guy here on GFY who had a dating site which was a total crap. The site made only $9.95 in its first month so we decided to rebuild it from scratch. Since then, it became one of the largest adult dating sites which makes millions to its owner. I can't say it was my merit but together we made a very successful project that is still very profitable. I was working for them for 5 years till 2011 until the company was sold to another person.

I am of that rare kind of people whom you can trust with your business. I can have many flaws but the last thing I would do in this world is to betray my partner - the person who puts his faith in me. I have been betrayed so many times so I know what does trustworthy person really mean.

My experience includes ecommerce, online dating, video sharing, wordpress, real estate sites, and many more.

I will consider both full time employment and business partnership. If it is a full time employment, monthly rate starts from $3200. I also have a professional team of developers and designers who can join the party at any moment.

Will provide references from my past employers and clients upon request.

Was that dating site iwantu ? :)

can you build a tube?

Great question!! :2 cents::thumbsup

Alex are you limited to just adult or are you open to mainstream?

No, it wasn't iwantu. I have sent you a PM with site URL.

Technically yes, if you are certain about making another tube site.

Not only adult, I was working on many mainstream projects, here is one of them: http://www.workspacesearch.com/ - UK based real estate company.

Are you in the US?

I have something you may be interested in, I have a few investors, but would rather self fund and keep more of the pie for us.

Only ask about being in the US by a request of an investor I do some work with for some legal reason.

Let me know, I can run the plan by you.

rvn I just added you on skype

For some reason, I don't see your contact request

We have very similar skills but I must admit that your are level or two above me, because you have 15+ years experience and I'm on 7+

Good luck and I'm sure you will find good paying job here, because this is perfect place for it ;)

Thanks mate. Like I said, my best job experience was from GFY since 2004, no matter that it says I have joined in 2006 :thumbsup

Good luck! :)
