SEEKING FREELANCER Vita Coco - NYC Looking for a generalist developer to run some projects internally, would need to be based in the NYC area. Half on site work, half remote. Think PHP/MYSQL backend work, HTML/CSS/JS frontend work, social APIs (Facebook, Twilio, Mailchimp), Phonegap iPad apps, etc. Email me: bolney@vitacoco.com

I'd recommend sending me a message before someone considers taking this on.

$$ hope no one has a problem with me mentioning my site www.jobstractor.com There's some contracting/freelancing jobs on there. I got an email today from soneone who has already found work through the site. It's still a work in progress, but improving all the time. Happy job hunting :)

I'm a big fan of jobstractor. We actually had a success from the other end, somebody found our job posting through the tractor.

Keep up the great work!

SEEKING FREELANCE - Remote / Cleveland, Ohio

Budget is not established but is flexible. Expected initial duration is 3-4 weeks. Engagement will be limited after that, but potential for limited long-term help is there.

tr;dr:

We have already done a lot of experimenting/testing with Drupal, but need someone with D7 experience to make sure we're doing things the right way.

---

A Drupal consultant to help us customize a Drupal installation profile to be used to power upwards of 50 individual Drupal sites.

We need to work together to define our needs and translate them into a Drupal system. In addition to creating a customized base Drupal installation, you will help us create a clear process for systems administration. Experience with Drush is critical.

In addition to programming, configuration, and other technical tasks, we really need you to to help us better understand Drupal best-practices and educate us on a few areaas. We will be creating a system that will empower close to 100 web content contributors, but will be maintained/adminted by a relatively small (and already very busy!) staff. We need to get things right from the onset to offset wasted time fixing things at scale.

Contact: scott.sharp@case.edu

Please do not reply if you do not have experience with Drupal 7 (multisite installs), Drush, or do not wish to have very active communications during the project.
