Joe Wells

Experience: I have B.A. and M.A. degrees in Computer Science and have completed all but the dissertation for a Ph.D. in C.S. My research for my Ph.D. is in the areas of logic, type systems, and programming language theory. My primary programming languages are Emacs Lisp, Perl, and Bourne shell, but of course I can program in any language. I have written numerous Emacs Lisp packages. I started the USENET "List of Frequently Asked Questions about GNU Emacs with Answers" and maintained it for more than two years. Most of my work has been related to the telephone system (modems, voice mail, etc.), but I am not limited to that. Send e-mail for my complete resume or curriculum vita.

Programs supported:

GNU Emacs and Taylor UUCP: Installation, training, customization, bug fixing, troubleshooting, extension, development, porting, or answering any kind of question.

Any other GNU program: The same things, but I don't necessarily have huge amounts of experience with the particular program.

Working conditions:

I am usually available for part-time work (less than 20 hours per week including any travel time). I can sometimes make time for full-time work for a month or two; please inquire. I can either work in or near Boston or via the Internet or via telephone; travel outside the Boston metropolitan area can be negotiated. My schedule is very flexible. Any programs I write will normally have the copying conditions of the GNU General Public License; this is negotiable.

Rates: $65/hour as an independent contractor.
travel and telephone expenses.
higher rates if extensive travel is required.
