“Serial founder and agency leader (recent agency exit with completed 3-year earn-out) currently serving as COO but prefers CEO/founder role. Spun Camp Native out of an agency after spotting a hospitality tech gap, raised venture funding, scaled partnerships to 800+ properties, and led the company to a private equity acquisition. Uses AI tools to dramatically accelerate go-to-market, research, and validation cycles.”

“Serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of professional software engineering experience who co-founded Food Truck Stars, initially a food-truck search engine and later pivoted into a catering marketplace to overcome adoption barriers. Validated the model by prototyping at car enthusiast events across the U.S. and turning a profit, using hands-on customer discovery with low-tech, time-constrained operators.”

“Backend engineer who rebuilt and refactored high-traffic systems at Phenom using Java/Spring Boot/Play and also designs Python/FastAPI services. Focused on measurable reliability and performance gains through DB/query optimization, async processing, and strong observability, with disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, parallel runs, rollback) and security patterns including token auth and row-level security.”

“Frontend engineer who has led customer-facing React + TypeScript products end-to-end, building complex dashboards with robust async state patterns (caching, deduping, cancellation, optimistic updates) and strong quality practices (TypeScript standards, layered testing, production monitoring). Experienced modernizing inherited codebases through modularization and performance work (code splitting/memoization) while aligning stakeholders and shipping safely via feature flags and staged rollouts.”

“Operations and accounting transformation leader who specializes in reorganizing high-growth and distressed companies using a people/processes/systems framework. Notably helped a distressed mid-stage tech company clean up historical financials, rebuild the accounting function, fix broken operations, and become VC-fundable. Experienced fractional CFO and board advisor who mentors founders/executives and builds scalable hiring plans with clear headcount triggers.”

“Data engineer with experience at Morgan Stanley and Star Health owning production-grade lakehouse pipelines for credit risk and healthcare datasets.
