Hi All,
I am looking for experienced US-based Drupal dev professionals who do project work. My preference is 1 or 2 person companies (as larger groups are usually geared toward larger projects and heavier process). I say "company" because I will be relying on a partner to help me create solutions on (reasonable) deadlines. It's not such a fit for me to work with someone who is moonlighting and doing this in their spare time.
I've been doing this interweb thing since '96, and Drupal since '07. My focus is marketing communications, design/branding, and the creation of user-friendly, informational and light/moderate transactional websites. I build full solutions for clients who need company sites that generally focus on good site architecture, content management, blogging, calendars, etc. A little Ubercart has been in the mix as well. More recently, projects have been pushing into more advanced dynamic sites that require custom modules and advanced setup beyond my ability.
I do some development, but not in Drupal (Object-oriented AS3). That is to say, I'm not just a designer who is oblivious to the world of code. I just have not built up php/Drupal dev skills and don't know that I have the bandwidth to try. That's where my need comes in.
I've run various design studios since the '96 (my company now is a 1-person show), and I have had a lot of interaction with developers. I'm looking for people who also run their own thing, and have the well-rounded entrepreneurial skills that make for a good technology partner (professionalism, meeting deadlines, good communication skills, reliable and available). I need people who are able to talk interactively about strategy and tactics, and like to work collaboratively, bringing their experience and ideas to the table.
The ability to handle distributed work via Git and an online issue queue is important as well.
Just a note: I am looking for more than one partner, since it's important to always have backup/scalability.
