SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies. I want to help a new startup build their MVP, or convert a low-code prototype to code.

I have a decade of development experience ranging from new startups to publicly-traded corporations, and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major startups. But, my passion is building things - and I can use my background in software and product to build scrappy, polished applications quickly for companies.

I can handle end-to-end web app product development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design. I can also offer CTO-as-a-service for existing teams that need help growing or scaling.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:

- https://postcard.page

- https://booklet.community

Can do hourly or weekly billing, and I'm open to flat-rate pricing for well-scoped projects.
