Hello
👋🏼 Tiny update: Dipping my toes very quietly into freelancing / consulting again, just to test the waters:
If you're looking for a consultant, a fractional CTO-type, need help with technical leadership, strategy, AI or just want to chat about computer stuff, please reach out!
Over 17 years of experience as a full stack software engineer, consultant and engineering manager, with projects big and small. I have verifiable track record of leaving projects, places, teams and code better than I found them. Heck, I even won a Webby—though I have to laugh a little at the sheer number of people (dozens) omitted from that list.
At the moment I'm happily employed but would consider taking on side projects if they're a good fit and I we can find the availability. Looking ahead 2-3 months in advance would be best.
I've worked remotely since 2006 and prefer to stay that way. Currently I'm working in Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5). I would entertain some travel in or outside the US for the right project.
Would love to hear about projects where I can work on fun & interesting problems, partake in something that strives to actively help the world, teach people, work closely with and/or mentor software engineers, pair with talented and empathetic people or simply build something fun & playful.
Some examples of startup and project that categories would appeal to my skills and interests:
- Social impact and/or mission-driven companies, in particular:
- Climate change
- Recidivism
- Addiction
- Wealth disparity
- EdTech startups focused on teaching and learning platforms
- Startups in the healthcare or wellness industry
- IoT and smart devices startups
- Real-time communication and collaboration tools
- Total goofball, joyful endeavors
Have something you think I would be interested in? Feel free to email me:
