Ask HN: Finding the right freelance programmer in NYC?

I'm working on a new project and looking for a freelance programmer. Someone I can sit down with in person and not get shooed out of a busy office. Someone that will offer input for the project and be able to work with a small team.

The project on hand is revolutionary in its field so we're looking for somebody with experience and the ability to build a great website!

We've called up some web development companies that are way too large for us. Their fees are over our budget.

We don't feel comfortable using the findacoder/hacker websites.

Leave your comments below if you think you can fit into this environment or how to find someone like this (possibly a university student).

If you're a student and want to improve your web programming skills while working on a great website, leave me a message below and I'll be in touch with you.

Note: Should add that e-commerce is a major part of the web application.
