Description

Cheerful and sociable staff engineer with ~15 years of full-stack experience leaning towards front-end/TypeScript. I led a small team of 4-6 engineers at a remote company of 50-100 for the past half decade. We reached a successful exit while I did 50/50 coding/leadership. I have an entrepreneurial spirit. I took the last two years off employment to work on coding side projects and to polish my habits and health. During this time, my technical achievements were: I taught myself Rust & Bevy and played around with building a game, taught myself some basic EE skills and prototyped hardware using an Arduino, taught myself Svelte/Sveltekit and built an especially popular website for an upcoming game which I am still maintaining. Physically, I quit drinking coffee and alcohol and smoking weed, started running 20+ miles a week and ran my first half-marathon for fun, and put on a good amount of muscle mass with a solid lifting routine and a clean diet. I feel great about these decisions and am firing on all cylinders. This is my first day of looking for a new, interesting project to work on as part of a team. I'm not especially firm on what I'm looking for - just an interesting project at a company with smart people and a good trajectory. It would be a cool growth opportunity to be a leader of leaders, but equally reasonable to start more hands-on assuming there's room for growth. My ideal would be to find myself working for a bootstrapped, profitable company of 50-100 people under a technical founder, writing in TypeScript while leading a team of 4-6, and growing into leading multiple teams after gaining an understanding of the business and influence with my peers.
