UI/UX Rich Internet Application Ninja (Washington DC, USA", "Baltimore, USA", "Anywhere)

in

Part-time UI/UX Ninja to enhance and maintain pretty interesting User Interface (primarily Flex/AS4; Android maybe iPhone)  
Location – Anywhere but prefer Washington DC / Baltimore

Budget - $1K-$5K

(The budget above is an example range for individual tasks.)

We are a small but well-funded start-up focusing on “knowledge discovery”: unstructured text analysis and visualization.

Our primary focus is the development of a cloud-based extraction, storage, and analytics engine. 

This engine has a REST API, and we have also developed a Flex-based framework GUI within which customers can develop their own visualization widgets. We have developed a number of basic visualization widgets to get people up and running and act as templates for future development. We are looking for a freelance developer preferably near us (anywhere from Baltimore, Washington DC to Fredericksburg) experienced in Flex and GUI development including UI/UX design to work part time on the following sorts of things:- Improving the look-and-feel of the existing GUI elements - New visualization widgets (normally we’ll develop the logic/analytics, and encapsulate that away from the code you’d develop as far as possible)- Add GUI support within the framework for new functions we develop- Potentially develop new widgets for customers on our behalf- Potentially, porting the Flex widgets over to other technologies as embeddable components  (Drupal, DHTML, Shindig, iGoogle)- Must have a portfolio and references- Some experience in designing analytics applications would be preferred- Ability to work quickly and precisely
We are looking to improve the design of the application in order to make it look more professional initially through a re-skinning job only. In essence, we require someone to take the current design as a basis and make it look clean, simple, professional and have that ‘wow’ factor.

We’re looking for a flexible developer who doesn’t mind working as part of a team. 

We expect that there will be a steady stream of small tasks over the next 12 months, and are therefore hoping that we will form a long term relationship for as long as it makes sense.
