Who I Am: Full-Stack SWE who has proven experience taking a company from a one-person operation to multi-million dollar deals. I'm here for the entire ride, including initial development, product direction, funding, outreach, and scale.
What Makes Me Special: I've got the technical skills, people skills, and industry knowledge that differentiate a successful startup founder from a run-of-the-mill programmer. I love getting to represent my company at conferences, during demos, and in cold outreach, then coming home to grind bug fixes and feature implementations until the sun comes up. I've got the tenacity and dedication your team needs.
Who You Are: A startup in any stage from pre-seed to scale that has a killer product and needs a dedicated technical founder. You have a tight knit team that values one another and helps each another where needed. You're humble, confident, and don't need to one-up each other for the sake of ego. "Don't be evil" and putting people over profit are core tenets of your business model.
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Remote: Yes (In-Person or Hybrid are even better)
Willing to relocate: Yes (But you'd have to convince me your opportunity is worth leaving the Windy City ;) )
Technologies: C#, Python, Java, C, .NET, JavaScript, SQL, Google Cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Large-Language Models (LLMs), Server Backend, Infrastructure Security, PyTorch, Ollama, Firmware, ARM Assembly, Prototyping, Digital Logic, SystemVerilog, Unity, Virtual Reality, Game Development
Resume/CV: Check my LinkedIn (and then send me a connection request! :D)
I thrive in fast-paced environments with a close knit team of developers. Startups are welcomed and encouraged to reach out, especially if you've just received funding and need a developer that has proven experience building companies from one principal developer to a thriving team that can handle several multi-million dollar projects concurrently.
My LinkedIn has my portfolio with pictures and videos of my past work. Check it out, then shoot me a connection request! I look forward to working with you.
