SEEKING WORK (New York / Remote)

I'm a full-time, full-stack application developer and technology consultant looking for greenfield HTML5 projects. I focus on modern Javascript applications that pair rich-client frameworks such as Sencha Touch (with or without Phonegap) for mobile, Backbone.js for public-facing web apps, and ExtJS for enterprise apps with Ruby on Rails or Node.js backed API servers.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn. You can find my profile at http://www.linkedin.com/pub/barry-peerless/6/469/139.

Please contact me at barry[at]barrypeerless[dot]com for my cv, recent project details, and to discuss your project. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

SEEKING WORK - Full-Stack Javascript/Ruby Web Developer with a B.A in Radio-TV-Film Production

Specializing in Node & Ember.

I'm currently working on my own project, http://estereobit.tv, Latin America's New Favorite VJ...except he's a robot and he lives in the cloud. It's a smart, real-time music video jukebox that provides continous, multi-platform streaming of top emerging latin music, focuses on video delivery, not discovery, and keeps you in-the-know of everything going on in modern latin music. I used to work for http://zipmark.com, where I shipped a commercial-scale ember.js app, atop a RESTful Rails API, tested to work and look good all the way down to ie6, and somehow lived to tell about it. In a past life, I was a Motion Graphic Designer and Video Editor and did a web marketing campaign for a rock'n'roll band.

To quickly learn more about me I'm at http://ulisesrmzroche.info.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In our case, the explanation is even simpler. Most of our work is for local devs, where the clients prefer to be able to meet the freelancer face-to-face occasionally. Even for a project where most of the work will be done remotely, kick-off meetings and in-person collaboration is still valuable.

Of course it is valuable, but why limit the choices a priori? Let your clients choose by themselves, maybe some of them will prefer to sacrifice face-to-face meetings in exchange for finding the best candidate...

In general, with marketing, you need to keep your Message simple. As in drop-dead simple. Especially when you're veyr small.

That's why you see food trucks offering tacos, sushi, or organic chocolate-and-truffle-oil-suffused hempseed brownies, respectively... but food trucks offering all 3 of these, not so often.

With recruiting it's kind of the same. Also, out-of-towners have different filtering / recommendation / communication needs, and take different payscales, also

So they're probably just applying the 80-20 rule, and catering to what their known client base seems to ask for most.
