If ...
You are considering me for work with a nominal hourly wage rate of $100 or €70 or thereabouts, please ignore the below and send a message to juan@acm.org and I will put you in contact with current and recent clients.

In general ...
I deal with far too many leads to have prior clients and coworkers constantly contacted by them. If you are willing to act as a reference for a period of a year after satisfactory project completion receiving my prospective clients calls and are paying a market wage for my skill and experience level¹²:

Otherwise ...

  • You are welcome to use the Word doc above or do any other independent checking.
  • I find the whole references thing unenlightened:
  1. It's demeaning for the worker and unequal. Do you provide references from former workers in your enterprise?
  2. Doesn't really prove anything, "past performance is no guarantee of future success".
  3. There are superior means for reducing your risk such as deferring full delivery of sources and payment until function has been demonstrated thru the web, delivery of binary with expiry, etc.
    This is an area of interest for me in regards to automated IT labor markets so may be developing further in the context of these domains.
  4. It's like the testing thing, if you don't have whatever it takes to make this judgment on your own, structure an appropriate deal logistics, I'd rather you just pass to another worker.

¹ $40-60 USD/hr. for full telecommute in 2008-09.
² A uniform nominal €50 after 2009-10-03.
