Full Stack Web Developer and Solution Architect

Ehh ~15 years in startups, wearing lots of different hats, but mostly some flavor of full stack web developer, including devops and data engineering. I've also done some management (although I'm aiming for the "Staff Engineer" track), customer-facing engineering ("solution architect"), and a wee bit of embedded / on-device work. I pick up new stuff pretty quickly when there's a problem in front of me, and I'm that rare extrovert engineer, so bring on the social parts of the job! My career has two pillars: internal engineering, and customer-facing engineering. When I'm doing internal engineering, I focus on high-quality foundational work that then makes it super easy to iterate the product. When I'm doing customer-facing stuff (B2B), I'm deploying the company's technology to solve the client's problems. For the last few jobs, my bosses have been telling me I'm ready to be a CTO, so if you're looking for a technical cofounder... let's chat!
