Do you have any example work I can look at? I have a startup www.qlobe.com and we are looking for another developer.

Not really, which is why i am offering my services. All my past projects have been personal, entrepreneurial, so they no longer exist online. I do have a git repo though. With a couple of projects that i've done and saved there.

If you intend to pick one among the applicants/replies below (as the other kind contributor is doing), I suggest you make that clear up front. Your post makes me think that perhaps you're casting a wider net, though I'm sure no one would object. :)

I'm working on a project, having taught myself programming over the years, in PHP and Javascript/HTML5. I'm finding my biggest problem isn't the actual coding, but program architecture. How do I build something that isn't just functional for my own needs, but that others can use and understand.

I've started fresh 5 or 6 times now, and I'm definitely getting closer to "right" but it's still a battle. I think part of my struggle lies in trying to get used to the asynchronous aspect of AJAX. It definitely requires a different approach to handling data and presenting it to the user.

I'm thinking I may need to find someone else to take my prototype code and turn it into something more structured and friendly, while I focus on the business side of it. Any suggestions from you or others about basic application structures would be much obliged.

Just added that. Thanks Jeff
