30+ years in tech. Open for the right opportunity.<\/p>\n

I’m not looking to be the IT guy. I’m looking for the kind of work where experience and judgment actually matter. Here’s what that looks like in practice.<\/p>\n

🤖 AI & Automation<\/h3>\n

I build real automation workflows using n8n, Claude API, and connected services. Newsletter generation, data pipelines, scheduled tasks — not toy demos, actual production systems running on my own infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Three published books. A newsletter with a 39.7% open rate. Deep knowledge of DeFi, wallet security, Layer 2s, and how to explain any of it to a normal human being. I’ve been writing about crypto since before it was cool, and through the years it definitely wasn’t.<\/p>\n

📋 Technical Program Management<\/h3>\n

I’ve managed complex technical projects — Athlete Intel, Intuit Jumpstart — from kickoff to delivery. I speak both human and engineer. That’s rarer than it sounds and more valuable than most job descriptions acknowledge.<\/p>\n

✍ Content & Writing<\/h3>\n

Technical writing, e-books, newsletters, developer documentation. I can turn complicated things into clear, readable content that people actually want to finish. This is a real skill. Most people who claim it can’t do it.<\/p>\n

I know how things work. Servers, APIs, integrations, CMS platforms, DNS, hosting. Not because I want to be the IT guy, but because I’ve never been willing to wait for one.<\/p>\n

🌐 Developer Relations & Community<\/h3>\n

I know how to talk to builders, users, and the gap between. Technical credibility plus communication skills is a specific combination that most people don’t have.<\/p>\n

If you have a project, a problem, or a role that needs someone who’s been around and still gives a damn —<\/p>\n
