I definitely wouldn't say best candidate, but I would like to think of myself as quite fitting for this project. I've had experiences with large volumes of traffic, and I have quite the ideas myself for this project. No risk, no reward. How about this, you let me do this, for free, let your team/committee look into what I've produced. If you think it'll suck balls, then I don't get paid. If it looks like the next best thing, then we proceed with the appropriate payment, at least let me show what I can do before any judgement is passed. And whether that judgement be good or bad, please tell me so I'll know what I can improve on next time.
