Gave clear descriptions of the problem and prompt, insightful feedback on my proposed solutions. Extremely easy to work with.


Some proprietary software which is used to generate images from PDFs needs to be rewritten to allow parallel processing. The image extraction process is relatively complicated and I'm unsure whether or not this can be rewritten in scalable matter. I need someone to write out a detailed project plan of how they intend to achieve the end result we require (we will pay for this by the hour). If the project plan you've submitted is viable, we will ask you to build it as a separate job. More details about the conversion process will be given to candidates with the required experience.

The applicant must possess:
-- Proven AWS experience
-- Proven Hadoop experience
-- Expertise in one of the EC2 mapreduce languages (preferably python or java)

Please describe prior experience when applying for the position.
