Location: Pleasant Grove, UT

Product: None. I am on the lookout for one.

Stage: I'd prefer bootstrapped outfits.

Expertise: Software engineering, particularly an obsession for clean, maintainable code. I am seeking the characteristics of long living software.

Need: A hard interesting problem to solve. And visa/GC sponsorship.

Split: My visa status makes this complicated, and the subject for a longer discussion.

I can be reached at kapil [at] Kaisare [dot] in.
