I'm an independent software developer. Have done some applet work involving communication with back-end server-type apps (in this case, an MFC-based control application).
Lots of experience with OOA/OOD, C++ development and spec. writing (after 20 years of this, I ought to have a clue ... the jury's still out).
Not sure I can tell where this project is heading, but I'm certainly willing to chip in wherever necessary or possible.
