Okay, let’s tackle this. So Steve Reynolds has a mix of in-house and contractor experience, which suggests he can negotiate rates. His skills are in demand, especially in .Net and web development. According to Glassdoor, software engineers in Dallas with similar skills can earn around $100-$150 per hour. Considering his experience, I’ll estimate around $125 per hour, which is on the lower end of the range. However, this is just a rough estimate and actual rates may vary based on specific projects, clients, and negotiations.
