- NOT going to invest in your ICO. - NOT looking for work ( Updated Sept 2018 ) - I do NOT work with 3rd party recruiters or agencies. Kindly fuck off or I will mark your connection request as spam. - I do NOT accept invites from randoms. - I do NOT take contract work. - I will NOT relocate from the Boulder, CO area. That said, I'm open to friendly conversations with folks who have put in the time to do a little research. If you still want to cold-contact me, please read my blog post "What a cold recruitment email should look like tagged `recruit-engineers` on my blog. Or check out some of my github side projects first. =============== My work has been featured in TechCrunch, CNN, Inc Magazine, The New York Times, BoingBoing, WIRED, Forbes, and TechDigest. At StepOut (acquired by IAC), I built a team of 9 that built our web product and mobile product. At Simple Energy, I built a team of 24 that rewrote our core platforms and shipped dozens of new features to our utility customers. At Occipital, I was the #1 speed chess player in the office and also did lots of python/django/datawarehouse and management things. Now I'm pushing Open Source Forward at Gitcoin -- The worlds biggest Ethereum-based network for incentivizing Open Source Contributions.
