About ChrisCinelli
I self-taught myself programming and wrote my first program in BASIC at the age of 7. Learned assembly x86 at age of 9, C at the age of 13, C++ at the age of 14.
Proper education and genuine curiosity taught me the rest. I am passionate about both technical tactical and business strategic stuff.
I am a generalist. When I can, I like to iterate on the frontend UI/UX and build nice smooth products, but I end up often touching system architecture, backend, databases, cache, servers etc. I strive to reduce complexity, increase cohesion of code modules and make things easier for the CPU and for the human beings.
I like to keep myself update and experiment with the latest technologies but I like to make pondered decisions on what the company should use.
Looking for a smart co-founder!

Solid advice. I think you are at a point that require deep introspection. It does not matter what others think. You need to take a day with your destiny.
