NYC - Full Stack Engineer w/ PHP Focus
===========
Quick Intro
===========
I've been consulting for a great organization for several years, and they're looking to bring someone on full-time. I'll continue to be involved to support, advise, and even do some work.
Personally, I think this is a great opportunity for someone in the NYC area who's burned out on freelancing and wants a few years of solid pay + benefits, while helping others.
