I'm looking to hire an experienced PHP programmer with experience in PHP4, mySQL and Perl. The project involves taking an existing system that's written mostly in Perl, and re-writing it in PHP4. To avoid the pitfalls and problems of the existing system, we'll be implementing a different strategy in our re-design.
I've been a consultant for 20 years, and am experienced in PHP, mySQL, Unix, bind, Apache, DHCP, Diablo, VAX/VMS and some other esoteric systems. My business has grown to the point where I can't handle all the projects, and I want to build a team of reliable employees and/or contractors I can delegate to.
I'm looking for people who have experience solving business problems. That is, you should be able to analyze a problem and devise algorithms on your own. I am not looking for someone who just learned PHP and has no real-world problem solving experience.
If you're interested, please email me directly -- lew@lppi.com
I have offices in Palo Alto, CA and Los Angeles, CA. But if you are disciplined and experienced, you can work from home obviously.
