As most of my readers know, I do have my own software start-up (http://www.easywebapps.com).  As my asset program gets nearer to final release, I've been pondering taking on some additional developers to work on some new projects that have come into my head and help maintain and extend my asset program.

In addition, for you contractors out there, I'm planning on offering two versions of my asset program for sale.  One is hosted and managed by my company, and will be updated/supported through a subscription service.  The other version will be source included and self-hosted.  I'm sure that companies that purchase the source included version will be interested in customizing it, and I will be in a great position to sell consulting services for these modifications which I plan on passing off to people involved in my projects.

More specifically I'm looking for the following talents (not all are required, but a solid combination):

• ASP .NET
• Graphic artist / GUI designer
• C# or VB .NET
• Strong SQL Server background
• Report design
• Web Services
• Architect / High level design skills
• Entrepreneurial spirit
• Plays nice with others
• In coding, pushes for clean, readable code over a more efficient but unreadable version.
• Can actually deliver what is promised.

Being that my company is a fledgling start-up and I am working a full time job while working on my company on the side, it's important to point out that there won't be any hourly or salary pay for the help.  What I am willing to do, however, is share profits from the software directly proportional to the amount of contribution.  In the case of consulting for custom solutions, we'll work out an hourly rate with the client which is 100% yours to keep, mainly b/c I don't want the hassle of managing it. =)

I've seen alot of talent in this weblog group, and I think if some of us put our heads together and collaberated we could come up with some pretty kickass software, broaden our experience through working together, and maybe even make some residual income on the side.

If this sounds interesting, go ahead and shoot me an email (eswise at gmail dot com).  Be prepared to explain why you'd want to be involved in something like this and show samples of your work.
