Neil's --> Availability:    AVAILABLE WITH 1 WEEK'S COURTESY NOTICE
Available for a permanent or contract position.
Current Contract: Currently working at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond
with their Advanced Technology Group - Web Systems team.

Initially this was supposed to be for absolutely no longer than three months
but I have now been there for nine months and counting (guess I'm popular ;>)
so I am looking for a position with an easier commute since I average six hours
a day just commuting to/from Redmond by car.

Downtown Seattle would be ideal for me as I can go as a foot passenger on a
ferry with an under 40 minute commute each way. I'm also open to the greater
Seattle area if reasonable part-time telecommuting is an option.
Roles Sought:
  • Permanent position or long-term contract.
  • Lead Engineer, Project Manager, Team Lead, Senior Developer.
  • Downtown Seattle or Kitsap County only unless telecommuting.
  • Not willing to relocate.
  • Agency FAQ: Are you a U.S. citizen or permanent resident/green card holder?
    Yes, I am a permanent resident/green card holder and
    do not require sponsorship or a visa to work in the U.S.

    Where else can you work?
    I am also a British citizen and can work in the UK and
    the EU (Europe) without needing any a work permit.
    Overseas trips are ok but I am not willing to move.

    Do you work through a corporation?
    Yes. You can keep 100% of the difference between my corporation's rate
    and the rate you charge your client without having to worry about employee
    contributions for me or getting caught up in workers compensation.
    Alternatively, I am happy to work on a W2 basis as your employee
    if you are an established business with a good credit rating.

    Does the corporation have liability insurance?
    Yes.

    My client has no development facilities. Do you?
    Yes. My home office is fully equipped with several servers and PCs, a high
    speed connection and development software including VS.Net Enterprise.
