I'm a full-stack developer, sometimes manager, sometimes executive.What makes me different is the depth of that stack, and that I've spent most of my career working directly with founders. I have a business degree, understand strategy, and speak the language of risk, reward, and investment.Building technology is about trade-offs: with a high-level understanding of the business goals I can surface only the important decisions. We spend more time communicating ideas, less on details.It's also not uncommon that a small change on the business side has large effects on the technology side, and vice versa. Sometimes a small bit of code has a dramatic effect on a business process, or a slight adjustment in strategy significantly reduces or even eliminates a coding project. My "bilingualism" lets me both identify and execute on these opportunities.I've spent 27 years at work in tech: I'm as comfortable with transistors as I am with user engagement metrics, and every level in between. There's no need for roads - drop me on the map, tell me where we're going, and I'll get us there. If there's a river, I'll build a bridge; if there's a mountain range, I'll find a pass.
