Knowledgeable, Affordable and Professional Software Development Contracting Services

I am a professional software developer adhering to the highest standards of quality software engineering and incorporation of industry-accepted software design and development methodologies. I provide software contracting services to corporate clients nationwide. With over 30 years experience in software development, I provide services addressing any phase of the Software Development Life Cycle. I am experienced with both legacy procedural languages using structured design and programming practices as well as Object-Oriented languages using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) design methodology.

I provide several software-related services including:

• Software development of Java/J2EE, Perl and legacy C applications and system software.
• Website development using XHTML, CSS, XML, Java (applets), JavaScript, CGI and Perl technologies on Unix/NT servers.
• JDBC and Perl/DBI programming interface to MySQL databases.
• Consulting services providing the design and implementation of Software Quality Engineering standards and procedures.
• On-going support and maintenance of all software products developed for my clients.

During the current tough economic market, companies are looking for ways to continue developing new products and initiating new projects in a cost-effective manner. Generally, the opinion is that software contractors are an expensive option for staffing new projects on a temporary basis. I would suggest that this opinion is seriously in error.

Please review my justification for proof that hiring a contractor in these tough economic times makes more sense than hiring a full-time employee. I am sure you will be amazed at my findings and will find it hard to argue against the point that hiring a contractor at this time makes more sense than taking on the long-term commitment and expense of a full-time employee.
