Outsource the project to me ( a software engineer located in bay area) and MY team in China will do all the work for you. You have direct contact with me locally and still able to save big using software engineers in China.
Tax issue: pay me with W-2 and I will handle all the logistics within my team including international remittance.
Maintenance issue: No need to beg developer in China, I am your direct contact next door. My team has been working for me for a couple years. Our core competence is speed and customer satisfaction.
My contact is iapplebee@163.com
Thanks
