Consulting
Do you have a product idea but no technical cofounder, and need advice on how to get it built? I can help you.
I've built ideas into Minimum Viable Products and hired technical teams around them at two seed-stage startups. I can help you do it too.
Think of me as a proto-CTO. You hire me to do the job of a technical counder, but you don't have to give away any equity. I can advise you on how to build what you want, the effectiveness of different technology choices, who and how to hire for your first technical team, and how to plan for your MVP and launch.
Contact me and describe your idea, current status and what you'd like me to help with. I will respond quickly with a straightforward quote.
Freelancing
I also do freelance Engineering work, if you have a clearly defined technical project that you need execution on.
Projects I can deliver include building websites and product MVPs from scratch, improving or adding new features to existing products, more technical improvements to existing products such as adding CI / CD pipelines, analytics, React server rendering, automated testing frameworks, and much more.
I have a wide variety and depth of web product engineering experience and chances are if you need it done, I've done it before and can help you. Just ask me!
I do my freelancing work remotely, and bill by the hour. My rates depend upon the specifics of the project. I deliver work to an extremely high bar of quality and pride myself on great communication skills, both of which I think are foundational to a successful Engineering project. I will gladly supply references from previous clients of mine, on request.
