I really need a job. I've been looking for 5 years. I make about $60k/yr building the occasional web app for one company and a non-profit, but it isn't cutting it.
I am hard to classify. I've been a CTO or chief architect of small startups and small companies. I have a agile, plastic mind, and I can figure out pretty much any problem thrown at me. I've designed pci cards, I've tuned dye lasers, I'm a reasonably good audio engineer, I can make furniture and frame a room, I can do nearly anything. Most of the things I've done well I've done without prior specific expertise. I'm good when I'm in over my head.
I've led small teams, sure, but that's nothing compared to having led punk bands on tour across the country, bringing everyone home alive and having no-one spend more than a few hours in police custody. I have a wildly diverse set of experiences, which I can apply in useful ways.
Most of all, I want useful work, to not be tossed into the trash because I'm over 50.
PS: I live in SF
