In the past I’ve had some inquiries about doing Flex work part time, and I decided to take one of the offers so that I could work with Flex in my spare time on a very cool project while making a little bit of money. It works out really well because I love the new job here in Seattle, but I’m excited to get back into professional Flex development.

To facilitate the consulting project, I’ve started an LLC here in Washington State and I got back the official paperwork yesterday. R.C. Stewart, LLC is open for business as my Flash Platform consulting company. I have no idea what will happen after I’m finished with the current project, but its a very cool feeling to be starting a company – even a very tiny one.

It’s also a way for me to invest in the future of the Flash Platform. I’ve been very excited about how Flex has progressed and the steps Adobe has taken to place it in the industry, and down the line, part time consulting may be a good way to show people how powerful the platform can be. I think it’s only going to get better and better, and combine that with the increased interest in Rich Internet Applications, this will be a fun side project.

If anyone has any tips, I’m always willing to take free advice.
