Résumé/CV: Middle-aged code ronin seeks long-term relationship with stable company. Former lead developer at NSFWCorp, co-founder of Mperia (very early micropayments-driven indie online music store), MVP builder for a billion failed startups. Also a Pulitzer-nominated journalist and futurist who has proven staggeringly good at predicting things. Over 20 years of experience in tech, dating back to the first dot.com boom and crash. Prefers stable tech to trendy tech. Does not live to code, codes to live, but good at the job. Career ambitions include: a steady paycheck that's enough to afford me a comfortable living; doing really good work, hopefully for a company or non-profit that's actually making the world better, especially for people who actually need a better world; not having to exacerbate my stress levels by hustling for crap contact work anymore. Drama-free and unlikely to be an HR problem. Just wants a nice job working with nice people at a company not run by unstable psychopaths with delusions of Stevehood. Probably not a good fit for cryptocurrency startups because the constant eye-rolling and hysterical gut-laughing would be disruptive. But if you want someone with decades of experience who will get the job done with a minimum of bullshit and not try to undercut you for promotions and doesn't demand rockstar money, I'm your guy. Especially if you're actually trying to save the world.
I can vouch for Josh, I’ve know him for many years: He knows his shit, and he gets shit done. He’s also an excellent “connector” —- he’s gotten to know tons of people across our industry and the larger field of “creative work,” and is great at realizing who should talk to each other to advance a cause or a plan. If you hire Josh you’re getting way more than a really skilled web developer, you’re getting someone who can do the other stuff that’s needed to make your overall project successful. He’s at the top of my list when I want an interesting and compelling web site or web app.
