Looking for Eastern European IOS Developer

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

I've found great coders from Bulgaria & Romania for ~$15/hr... people who are pretty decent although need a bit more direction, very knowledgeable code monkeys but not necessarily suited to design the architecture themselves.

that's the kind of thing I am looking for...... I've had bad experience with further afield than eastern Europe but some very good experiences with Lithuanian/Polish/Croatian outsourcing.

Do you know any IOS devs?

What about Latvia or Estonia? Do they have to be EU?

I'm an iOS developer. But I'm British, sorry!

Seriously though, tell me what needs doing and what the budget is and I'll tell you how realistic it is (and whether or not you can afford me). I'm available for the next 6 weeks as things stand.

I can tell you straight off that I (or my friend) can't afford you! No need for me to give you any quotes. If the prototype succeeded then there is no doubt he would need a full-time IOS dev. It's very difficult to get funding without establishing a POC and the guy has a very very limited budget - which is why I am using my day off to help him for free. I can see it might go somewhere so thought I'd help him out and oversee the delivery of the POC as well as get my hands dirty where I can.

You'd be paying TCP more than the sod all he'd be earning at the moment.

That's likely more attractive than the Eastern European rates we are looking at.....

You're paying in root vegetables?

Don't be so optimistic

Ah, Zimbabwean dollars. Fair enough.

Ok so not an answer to your original question but what about bringing in a developer as a partner. If the idea has legs you may get the work for free until it takes off.
