Internet Engineer (ui & ux) (Vancouver)

2012-02-04T13:36:37-08:00

You have always wanted to be a partner in an Internet start up. You are a relentless and innovative, self starter. You are passionate about computer science and the unlimited possibilities that the Internet can offer. More importantly you have always wanted to use your UX and UI expertise to make the world a safer place.

My name is Mike and I am one of three retired (just 40) law enforcement officers in Canada with an expertise in using the Internet to complete background checks. I have built a site that can complete background checks on people as well as property, and which can retrieve public records. It's a one-stop-shopping site that can be used

- for verifying people. Companies and prospective business partners
- for screening clients, job applicants, tenants, landlords and dates
- as a tool for compliance routines

I have a few other really cool phases I'll share with you when/if we meet.

Now you might be thinking there are dozens and dozens of online back ground check sites and that the market place is just to saturated. If there are so many then why aren't you using them? Simply, it's because they are not doing it right and not doing it comprehensively. And none have the knowledge and investigative know-how of former law enforcement officer.

I know my limits and I am now at the point where I need to take on a partner. I have got the vision; I now need computer programming ui and ux expertise. The link below will tell you specifically what kind of person I'm looking for. In short

- you have a history of creating
- you are mentally prepared for a big change
- you're passionate about what you do
- you're comfortable doing anything (today you're coding, tomorrow you're in discussion with partner websites to motivate them to use our API for lead generation)
- you can make things happen despite insurmountable odds

http://www.fastcompany.com/1785993/how-to-hire-the-best-employees-for-your-startup

My name is Mike. Email me and in 200 words or less and tell me why I should first meet with you.

Thanks and good luck.
