Thank you in advance for reviewing my bid.
As my summary indicates, I've been a software developer and a development lead for over sixteen years. I have a great full-time job. I'm freelancing to supplement my income.
I reviewed the links that you provided and I am absolutely confident that I can create a great site for you. I build web sites in my day job using JEE technologies primarily Spring MVC, JSP, Servlets, and Web Services.
I request money at the 25% milestone to protect me. To protect you, I utilize an Agile philosophy. The key characteristics of that methodology are below.
We will agree to a definition of done implemented as a series of automated tests written in the customer’s language (yours). You’ll know that I’m making progress and producing what you requested when the code passes the tests
We will hold showcases, at least weekly, in which I’ll demonstrate working code providing newly delivered functionality. These meetings will ensure that there aren’t any surprises at the end.
Additionally, I will utilize the latest code quality techniques (TDD, BDD, etc.) and tooling (JUnit, Mockito, Maven, Jenkins, Checkstyle, FindBugs, PMD) to ensure that this code surpasses industry standards and can be easily maintained.
I am at a competitive disadvantage on price relative to developers in various parts of the world. However, you will receive a premium service at a fraction of the cost that my employer pays.
