You bring the idea and I’ll bring fifteen years of developing complex software products on Node.js, Ruby, .NET, Java, and Windows DNA for tiny startups and large companies. I’ve bootstrapped the startups, written the business plans, built and trained the teams, designed the architectures, programmed the code, designed and programmed the test suites, and managed the multinational departments release to sunset.

Return on investment is my focus and so managing risk my priority: keeping projects lean and agile, clear and documented, and simple and extensible. I believe in flexible plans, sound forecasts, and disciplined execution.

I work alone and as part of a group as fits a project’s needs in a given week. My partners collectively bring a century of experience designing, developing, and managing complex software and it’s user interfaces. I specialize in back-end APIs, services, and web clients and my partners add iOS and Android apps and user interface and experience design.

We work remotely from the Colorado Rockies, San Diego, and Madison WI, using GitHub, Slack, Trello, Google and Skype Video, and Google Docs; we can also meet near us or you to kick things off and to keep them going.

Whether you want to launch a new product, a prototype, figure out the development budget for your startup, or rework an monolithic system into services and clients, get in touch and find out more about me here:

http://sensedata.com/about/us

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. An ideal engagement may involve me serving as a "force multiplier" of your existing team - think of the biggest challenges your operation is facing and what kind of problems your staff is not currently equipped to solve. 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.

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 committments, details on my background would only be available to qualified clients able to articulate the specific problems they need help with.

I help startups (especially B2B) get more users or leads from their sites. I also help them get more paid users from their trial users.

I do this as a hands-on conversion optimization consultant. How I get it done depends on each case, but here are some typical methods I use: Funnel analysis, funnel customization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns, onboarding emails, automated emails, content planning, and usability tests.
