YC reject and experienced hacker looking for CTO/VP of engineering roles in SV

#1
I am a technology consultant with 15 years of experience mainly in the Microsoft application stack. I have been working on an app called Skillendar (http://www.skillendar.com) for the last six months and applied for the YC in March 2011. But unfortunately our application has got rejected.

I am a British citizen currently living in the UK and am planning to move to the Silicon Valley/ San Francisco. If you are looking for a Senior Architect/CTO/VP Engineering, please contact me via linked-in http://www.linkedin.com/in/sunsai

I would also appreciate if someone could recommend a person/company from whom I can get some help with this.

Why not continue building your company and seek additional sources of capital?

I am planning to let go my business partner as I have realised that he hasn’t got the right skills to develop this business with me. I am not going to kill this application yet. It’s just that I had to re prioritise everything due to some changes in my personal circumstances. When I find the right team to grow this business I will look into this again.
