Hiring Me As a Consultant / Part-time CTO
(Updated July 27, 2012)
My primary offering is honest and experienced advice. If you've followed me for awhile, then you know what my areas of expertise are:
- Growing a consulting operation from scratch
- Leadership of web development teams
- Adoption of Agile and Lean Startup techniques
- Ruby on Rails-related technology (I can pair-program with you or your team)
Hiring me as a consultant is really easy. You may purchase my time at a reasonable hourly rate, which fluctuates based on my workload and is negotiable based on the length of the commitment. A couple of hours will have a premium rate, but if you need more than that then I'm willing to be very reasonable and charge around what you would expect to pay a shop like Hashrocket for a developer.
You should also know that I will not try to sell you anything or anyone else if you hire me. I have no plans of building another Hashrocket. If you're interested in booking my time over the course of several months we can work out a retainer agreement similar to how you would retain a lawyer or accountant.
To book my time, we just need to have a preliminary conversation about what you want to achieve by hiring me. I don't have problems with signing an NDA, if you require it. Once we officially book our billable time together and execute a simple consulting agreement, I’ll get whatever I need from you to prepare and get started.

Hat tip to one of my heroes, Mr. Tincup, for inspring me to describe this offer in this way. You should hire him for marketing advice.
