Good morning!
My name is Alexander. I am a long-time software engineer living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am very new to Drupal and creating a Drupal based website for my business. I am looking for a Drupal developer for professional guidance and mentoring.
I am not looking for a syllabus and a course or watching someone do a hundred clicks across 30 screens. Nor am I looking to outsource my website which provides no skills enhancement.
Instead, I would provide in advance one or more questions or describe what I am attempting to accomplish with my website. Or perhaps a topic of interest. When you are ready, we will meet and I will look to you as the Drupal professional to provide me with one or more possible solutions with advantages and disadvantages for each. Then, relying on your experience and my requirements we will decide upon a course of action. You would provide the executive summary for that action plan and pointers to one or more reference sources for my further study in the topic. Using your guidance and provided study references, I will finally attempt to accomplish that plan on my own time.
For example: I have written a large base of PHP code requiring integration into my website. I would describe the outputs from that code and how I want it to appear in my website. You would then provide an overview of best practices and application specific considerations along with references (links, book titles, terminology, etc) of how to integrate my PHP into Drupal. This is a more complicated example of course. Other topics are more Drupal specific, such as website duplication and recovery.
Meetings would occur as needed and as your schedule permits, typically one to two hours per meeting.
Requirements:
Minimum of two years advanced Drupal development. Please provide links to your work.
Proven CSS ability and Drupal theme alteration.
Familiarity with PHP, including some basic coding experience.
Working knowledge of Linux/Unix operating systems as required for client/server services.
English fluency and local to Bangkok.
Professional integrity in all its many aspects.
If you are interested, please reply with your qualifications, questions, suggestions and your hourly meeting rate for providing Drupal guidance. (If you wish to include your hourly website development rate, please do.) Please feel free to pass this email along to anyone you feel may be interested and qualified.
Thank you for your time and considerations.
Respectfully,
alexander
