SEEKING WORK - Rails MVP and Testing Consulting | Philadelphia, PA | Remote

http://iamericsteele.com

hi@iamericstele.com

-----------------------------------------

MVP Ruby on Rails Consulting and Development

-----------------------------------------

I'm a product consultant who enjoys working one-on-one with entrepreneurs to take an idea, shape it into a product, and then build the MVP with Ruby on Rails. My projects are driven by regular communication and feedback from you.

* Consultation & Project Plan: $500

* Development: $2k/week, $500/day

---------------------

Rails Testing Consulting

---------------------

You don't write tests for your Rails apps, and it's starting to hurt. The time you dedicate to debugging mysterious errors could be better spent confidently adding new features. Unfortunately, you don't have the time to figure it out on your own.

I can review your Rails app and put together a re-testing plan, train you or a team on how to test, and work with you to re-test your app.

* Rails Testing Audit and Plan: $500

* Rails Testing Training: $1000

* Rails Retesting: $2k/week

-----------------------

I'd love to hear from you via email at hi@iamericsteele.com

FYI, Colin charges $175/hr. I have no idea how anyone has the gonads to charge that rate for Rails work. I'd love to see some discussion around the age-old sales-man technique of "It's too expensive, you probably can't afford it anyways [scoffing]"

Maybe he's very good? I have no idea who Colin is, but surely it's up to him what he charges. If it's too much then nobody will hire him. What's the problem?

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

Full-stack web developer with sharp marketing skills.

I can help with figuring out how to make more money out of your application (B2B SaaS apps are where I have the most experience).

By understanding who your customers are and what they're looking for, I can help create a better experience for them (examples: fixing application hot spots, adding live feedback chat at the right spot, customer satisfaction surveys, analyzing and reducing churn rate...)

Do you have poor signup rates? Low activation or retention metrics? Do you think you could make more money out of your current application?

I have 8 years of experience as a software developer (Python/Django/Javascript), and I've worked both on my own products and for other startups.

I can also help with your MVP, help you come up with the right questions, and developing the right product.

Get more and better customers for your SaaS: http://www.saasfoundry.io
