Steve Jobs liked to celebrate the weirdos, the misfits, the outliers. As long as I can remember, I’ve been incapable of ‘just getting along’. Let me tell you, this has not made my life easy or glamorous. It has made my life challenging, eventful and highly evolutionary, ie, perform or die basically. I’m an entrepreneur cause that is how I got made, for better and sometimes worse.

For the last decade, I’ve been an employee for about 2 years, mostly I did contract web development. Now I lead my own product development team http://startuplandia.io Some people think that hiring an ‘agency’ is a bad move, some people have taken a chance on my weird and had positive upside because of it.

What I love to do is help non-technical entrepreneurs align growth, product and engineering to build massively useful products on fractions of the normal budget. This quote… “saved us tens of thousands of dollars early in and months of heartache”.

My personal magic is that I’m not just good at general web engineering, hiring engineers/designers, I’m really good at helping people figure out how their assumptions connect - or usually how their assumptions don’t connect and help them figure out where to make them connect. Many founders chase cheap engineering, cheap engineers build low quality stuff. The companies that go big don’t focus on cheap, they focus on valuable.

I help entrepreneurs find & build their highest leveraged feature set while capturing the 80/20 of developer/design costs. People who have worked with me have gone on to stuff like y-combinator, techstars, sharktank, INC 1000, some projects have also not done so well. There is no guaranee of success, I guarantee process, iteration, transparency and a performance mindset.
