Hello, technology headhunter! I am contacted by several recruiters a week, and sometimes multiple each day. To save us all some time, please read on...
I deliver world-class work, and require world-class compensation (my GitHub and Ohloh profiles speak for themselves). It's probably not worth contacting me regarding packages worth less than $200k per annum. Equity stakes without external valuations will be considered valueless. I am available for consulting on a per-project basis at negotiated fees, or a flat $2k per diem.
