New York, NY19y exp

“Longtime early-stage startup operator (since 1998) now running a solo consulting practice focused on SaaS infrastructure and platform strategy. Former angel investor in a medical information SaaS company that went public, with a strong focus on making prototype/demo systems enterprise-ready through efficiency, reliability, and performance improvements, and a nuanced view of how AI/LLMs may change engineering team models.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach who built and validated a preference-based recommendation engine using clustering, including generating test data to evaluate how clusters evolve over time. Has SRE/DevOps experience and has owned production incidents end-to-end (logging-driven RCA and refactoring patterns that failed at large data scale). Emphasizes quality and platform stability via unit, integration, and load testing, and has managed performance via regular 1:1s and PIPs.”

“Clean energy founder (Ishan "Summer") who built an energy storage/battery materials venture in 2022 focused on data centers and factories, raising $10M split between venture capital and government funding. Demonstrates end-to-end venture execution: multi-year market observation, team formation, customer/market validation, research collaboration, prototyping, and channel-partner-led go-to-market.”

“Hands-on engineering leader with early-stage startup experience who balances coding with executive alignment and delegation. Has delivered offline-capable SaaS mobile demos under tight timelines, built monetization-ready mobile architectures (dynamic cloud assets + in-app purchases), and increased product velocity via component-based game architecture plus stakeholder self-serve tooling.”

“Chief AI Strategy at startup Zenera with 30 years in technology strategy/design, experienced in building business plans across startups and large enterprises (projects, new products, and M&A). Deeply familiar with enterprise AI go-to-market challenges (slow procurement/pilot cycles) and preparing for VC expectations (e.g., targeting a16z) by emphasizing unique tech and paying customers.”

“Worked on an AWS DynamoDB Journal team project building internal operator dashboards end-to-end, creating Java/Spring Boot APIs and integrating them into a Spring Boot/Thymeleaf/JavaScript UI to speed up debugging workflows. Has experience with data-heavy web apps and performance techniques (load balancing, caching, pagination, compression) plus hands-on debugging across unit/integration/E2E tests; also maintained and enhanced a React website at Global Spark.”

“Serial entrepreneur with multiple startups and demonstrated VC fundraising experience, including raising $125K for a current business plan and building investor relationships across several VC firms. Driven by tackling difficult problems and assessing opportunities through a lens of solution creativity and team execution, while prioritizing sustainable quality of life.”
