Experienced Meteor Developer & Designer

I've been developing in Meteor for 15 months now at two YC startups (Sourcery, and until last week lead web dev & designer at Apportable). I've presented talks at Meteor HQ in SF and the Meteor meetup in Berlin. I especially love front-end development as the interface of design and dev.

About to launch a freelance practice, so this thread is timely. I'm working on a full portfolio, but in the meantime my personal site has my resume, LinkedIn, and links to some webapps I've built at Apportable.

If you'd like to meet/work in person, I'm in Berlin this weekend, SF next week, Chicago for the rest of May, and SF for the summer.

Principal technical founder of an ad-tech startup, currently undergoing a transition. At present available for contract engagements.

I bring to the table 15+ years of experience in software development, architecture and operations, as well as product management / marketing and business development. While my particular strength is "connecting the dots" across various disciplines, I am always happy to get my hands dirty to get projects delivered. I've had experience with Silicon Valley companies throughout their entire lifecycle, going back to the original dot-com era.

An engagement may involve me serving as a "force multiplier" of your existing team - think of the biggest challenges your organization is facing and what kind of problems your staff is not currently equipped to solve. Here are examples of what I could do for you:

- Product / business planning, review and strategy

- Design / technical architecture for new product development

- Business case development / feasibility assessment for non-technical enterprise executives

- Concept development / remote team recruitment for startups at "funded concept" stage

- Virtual/interim product manager / general advisor

While I have some level of experience with a very long list of technologies, above all I believe in pragmatic approach to choosing tools to fit the task at hand. The most recent/intimate experience in the current stack has been with delivering scale, performance and fault-tolerance in Big Data operations using the following principal technologies:

- Front-End : Python, Django, JavaScript, Bootstrap

- Backend/IDL : Java, Thrift, Avro

- Data Stores : Hadoop/HBase, Redis, MySQL/PgSQL

- Data Science : Custom-engineered algorithms/solvers with performance way above off-the-shelf packages

Due to the sensitive nature of my current commitments, details on my background would only be available to qualified clients able to articulate the specific problems they need help with.
