How to hire Graham Lee

There are few people who can say that when it comes to Cocoa application security, they wrote the book. In fact, I can think of only one: me. I’ve just put the final draft together for Professional Cocoa Application Security and it will hit the shops in June: click the link to purchase through my Amazon affiliate programme.

Now that the book’s more-or-less complete, I can turn my attention to other interesting projects: by which I mean yours! If your application could benefit from a developer with plenty of security experience and knowledge to share in a pragmatic fashion, or a software engineer who led development of a complex Cocoa application from its legacy PowerPlant origins through Snow Leopard readiness, or a programmer who has worked on performance enhancement in networking systems and low-level daemon code on Darwin and other UNIX platforms, then your project will benefit from an infusion of the Graham Lee magic. Even if you have some NeXTSTEP or OPENSTEP code that needs maintaining, I can help you out: I’ve been using Cocoa for about as long as Apple has.

Send an email to iamleeg <at> securemacprogramming <dot> com and let’s talk about your project. The good news is that for the moment I am available, you probably can afford me[], and I really want to help make your product better. Want to find out more about my expertise?

[] It came up at NSConference that a number of devs thought I carry a premium due to the conference appearances, podcasts and other material I produce. Because I believe that honesty is the best policy, I want to come out and say that I don’t charge any such premium. My rates are consistent with other contractors with my level of experience, and I even provide a discounted rate for NGOs and academic institutions.
