We will be a great fit if you are:

🛠️ Small business with a problem to solve: you've tried a bunch of things that are already on the market but nothing quite works and now you are certain that you need a tailor-made solution. My favorite topics are automation of tedious work through code, IoT systems, and web apps.
🚀 Lean early-stage startup (<20 people) who wants to move faster and need more hands on engineering / team-management side to skyrocket. A top-notch fit is when we will really like each other with the team and I will be excited about the market/cause - on the hard skills side, I could learn new tech really fast if you have an unusual stack.
🧙‍♂️ Founder(s) with an idea and need of a multihat engineer to help you bring the product to life and join you on the journey to become your tech co-founder. The most important factor will be our mutual fit as human beings and my excitement about the area.
P.S.: unfortunately, I can't afford to join non-funded projects now, but if I really love the idea then I will be glad to help.
P.P.S.: it does not need to be a next unicorn - I found it even more fun to build a self-sustaining bootstrapped business.
💼 Corporate that wants to launch a project fast and with no BS. One very important point - I'm really allergic to corporate games, playing politics, and bureaucracy. So if I will need to get confirmation on minor details from a dozen of stakeholders and something that takes a week will take four instead then we are a bad fit. But if you are ready to give me the freedom to move and access to end-users, key stakeholders, and data then I'm eager to jump on board.

I believe that the world is full of awesome people. So if you just want to connect after stumbling across this page - don't hesitate to drop me a message 😉

Zigzag

Exchange Bitcoin instantly with low fees

Despite decentralization, there are still 3rd parties we need to trust in crypto - exchanges. They could block your accounts, delay your payments, charge fees, scam, and so on. But there is an alternative - Atomic Swaps. If we will be able to provide classic exchange convenience without 3rd party then we could finally make daily crypto life truly decentralized.

Aliradar

Find the best deals and avoid fraud on chinese marketplaces

Ever tried to find a good deal on AliExpress? Fake discounts, slow delivery, low quality - you could face it all at once. For sure you could check the reviews & seller ratings, keep track of price before the sale, how old is the seller, and such. But doing this manually for a few dozens of items becomes a time sucker very quick. Unless you could have one simple number that could answer the question - buy or not to buy?

Grip

Deliver handcrafted health insights at scale

Everyone is different: hormones, meds, age, personal situation. Getting this data together to provide tailored advice & action plan requires a sheer amount of attention & knowledge. Besides, medical terms and out-of-range values could sound scary, so empathy & right framing is a must. Stay personal, have M.D. grade advice and buttery smooth UX - all while staying lean as a startup team.

Pharma company

Make dirty data in procurement actionable

When you are Fortune 500 company even small optimization could yield big returns. But when your data is scattered across the countries & departments, comes in different formats, and contains a sheer amount of human mistakes it's very hard to make it actionable. Unless you could clean it up, re-categorize, and extract insights to empower your procurement teams to make the change.

Spirits company

Optimize decades-old carrier awarding process

When you are more than a century in the business, change is hard. Information becomes scattered with no single source of truth, data stored in dozens of places & formats and not analyzed, insights are not integrated back into the process. And when the distribution is one of the key aspects of your business, using the same carriers for decades without a data-backed awarding process leaves huge value on the table.

Bitlum

Make instant Bitcoin payments a breeze

Ever felt that making a transaction in Bitcoin is like using the internet in 2000? Slow & expensive. And while Layer 2 tech like Lightning Network makes this better - it's much harder to set up and use, which hurts adoption. What if we could have all the benefits of Layer 2 wrapped in a zero setup intuitive UX?

EzLead

Sync LinkedIn and CRM to save hours on lead management

Imagine manually adding 100 people from LinkedIn to your CRM daily: copypaste dozen of fields, add custom tags, track messages - rinse & repeat x100. Ugh. Multiply those efforts by team members doing outreach and the amount of time wasted will skyrocket. But all this could easily be automated by code.
