We use a collection of freelance resources that allow us to scale our team as needed based on project requirements and client goals.

Personal Statement

I’ve spent the last 20 years building software, teams, and companies. After many years at various startups, I’m now focusing on one which is “mine”: Freelance Developer Coach (http://www.freelancedevelopercoach.com). I hope that I can help thousands of programmers reach their full career potential as developers by teaching the valuable non-technical skills which I’ve discovered are true differentiators over the years.

Specialties

Writing software requirements, online marketing, writing advertising copy, business plan development, software prototyping, startup bootstrapping, managing technical personnel, leading small teams, hiring and managing freelance software developers.

Personal Statement

Building trusting customer relationships is a high priority for me as a stepping stone to customer success. I work directly with customers to understand their goals and challenges, and then act as a client advocate while linking a cross-functional approach to solving customer issues. A desire for learning and technical background allow me to maintain an in-depth knowledge of a large number of software products.

A bachelor’s degree in English and experience with technical training refined my communication and presentation skills, while my time as a programmer before moving into project management allows me to bridge the gap between the technical team and customer experience.  Outside of work, I’m the “communications” board member for my son’s lacrosse team, a former professional photographer, and collector of rescue dogs.
