Hi,
I would be interested in helping you with this project. I have done similar projects like this one on Freelancer before for another client. I had to extend an existing open source plugin for Pidgin, in which I made a completely new plugin with new functionality based on the original plugin. I had to set up a development environment to cross compile for Windows on Linux, and I had to learn the source code in and out, and study the libpurple API (which I became proficient in).
I have experience in various programming an scripting languages such as C/C++, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, etc... I've been working at least 5 years as an Independent Contractor for Boomdizzle (a social music hip hop website). I help maintain their servers, create static and dynamic web pages and themes based on designs that they give me, etc... I have an Associate Degree in Computer and I am close to getting my Bachelor's in CS with a possible minor in Mathematics. I am a quick learner, detail oriented, capable of learning new languages and new things.
My Resume, as well as full skillset and reviews from past clients (all of them positive), can be found on my profile. If you want me to provide some examples of my work or demos, please let me know. I feel my bid is appropriate, but I am willing to negotiate.
Please reach out so we can discuss further and describe in more detail the plugin you want. I look forward to working with you. Thank you for taking the time to consider my bid.
