Hi if you change your mind about the US or Canada thing, I’m from South Africa and due to the exchange rate my rates are much lower.
I can do the programming for you, my first project was a little game I made as a test, can be downloaded at http://www.indiedb.com/games/annihilation-ten4, The second and biggest was Heavy Gear Assault for Stompy Bot a Canadian company, I just finished building a Skate Board prototype for a British group AirShip Images. I like to work in C++ but if you prefer I’m very good at Blue Prints. If you would like to chat more PM me then we can make contact.
Cheers GARTH
