SEEKING WORK | Oakland | Remote

Looking for something a little different here: I'd like to help an early stage startup hire remote overseas talent and build a stellar dev team.

I'm an experienced engineering leader/early stage CTO who has led software teams of up to 10. I've built a number of products from the ground up. I've hired at least 35-40 engineers in my career thus far, and a number of them from outside the US in the past few years.

Here's how I see myself helping:

- help non technical founders source, vet, and interview developers

- help non technical founders as initial/interim CTO helping the hired team hit their stride and get productive shipping (by setting the right processes and culture)

- act as deputy VP of eng helping the VP of eng with interviews, resume screening, and anything else that helps them with hiring

Resume: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5flvdmfrxaq8ytipzqthc/Profile...

I previously led a team of 10 at a notable company to re-build its platform entirely. More recently, I've been leading a small team at a Series B startup in a fractional eng lead capacity. I have worked with engineers from diverse cultures and countries (I'm an immigrant myself) and know how to relate to and vet them.

React out if this interests you. I'm open to other interesting freelance consulting opportunities as well.
