Hello, I am an exited cofounder/CTO of a SaaS company that provides a no-code environment to insurance companies for building video focused insurance claim management systems, and ex-CTO of the company that acquired it. Prior to cofounding I was a C++ engineer specialising in real time communication technologies such as VoIP. The time I spent building a SaaS (and scaling up post acquisition) involved wearing every conceivable technical hat. I also spent a fair bit of time working directly with insurance companies to design integration projects and new platform features in response to their needs.
I have empathy for users.
Post-exit, I have been working on personal and open source technical projects, such as my recently released pet project NakedJSX: https://nakedjsx.org. I am also a core dev team member of VICE (the 8-bit Commodore computer emulator) where I have focused on the significant performance gains made possible by migration to a multi-threaded architecture.
I am still hungry to design, build, lead, and grow - and I would love to talk to you about your project. I am probably best suited for an early-stage / small organisation, but also curious about life in a larger organisation that could use someone who relentlessly gets things done. I think I would enjoy working remotely for a U.S. based startup.
