My work history:
1994: Spend year dabbling in Visual Basic, get introduced to core programming concepts. Got obsessed with The Hobbit/Lord of The Rings and put coding aside.
2008: Took a college hiatus, 4 credits shy of graduation. They still let me walk, and I have a photo of me in a cap and gown and ostensibly receiving a diploma, which turned out to be a cheap placeholder containing an ominous threat to whomever failed to settle their tuition balance. Decided to put finishing college aside as way of burning my boats: entrepreneurial victory or destitution.
2008-2009: Sold fireworks, started and ran a global Facebook ads arbitrage operation. I've run many positive ROI ad campaigns with my own funds.
2010-2011: Facebook market changed. Switched to building products. Shipped and sold two Drupal based products.
Mid-2011-Present: Started reading Hacker News articles and comment threads obsessively, with a lot of googling to discover the meanings of terms like turing complete.
2012: Paid python consultant - built two products for client that are patent pending and am forbidden to show.
Year to date: Freelance gigs and afterwork keep rolling in.
The Future:
Flask/Python/Mongo/Elasticsearch/flat file architecture are my speciality. I am obsessed with automation and tools like fabric. When you are bootstrapping your own products you learn how to be extremely lean.
I work excellently remotely but will go anywhere the NYC subway system will take me. I make it a point to be highly available for communication.
To Other Freelancers:
I would love to ally with other freelancers to create a syndicate that would complement each others skills and/or bequeath job overflow to one another.
