Quick background about myself : Graduated University at the age of 25 (BS in Computer Science) at one of the top technical universities in my country (ITBA), worked as an employee for a couple of years during the late stages of my studies and finally in 2009, took the plunge, founded my own company and hired a couple of employees.
Fortunately, its been a great ride. I've been working steadly for 4 years on my own, developing for domestic software development companies building SFDC applications for their US/international clients (since I didn't have any abroad contacts on my own). During that time, I worked (through middle-man companies) for Salesforce.com, ModelMetrics, Mars, OpenEnglish, PropellerDevelopment and several non-profit organizations.
My current contract is ending by late October, and since my client is letting go of all contractors and hiring its own inhouse team, I'm looking for work.
I have over 3 years of SFDC experience alone and over 6 years in development/project management. Asides from SFDC, I am also skilled in Objective-C, Python, Django, jQuery, HTML5, Java, Agile Methodologies (Scrum mainly), and others. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I speak fluent English and I'm very organized in my work.
What am I looking for in a client ? Software development company, if possible, providing SFDC development for several clients, looking for remote developers/contractors. I enjoy building new products and starting projects from scratch.
Could you give me some advice on how to go about getting my own abroad clients ? I've always been able to land local clients, but never had an US/Europe one. Worked with them all the time, but from a developer/project leader posision. Never had to sell or manage invoices/payments outside the country.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
