I'm a technologist with 25+ years of hands-on experience across all IT roles and hundreds of technologies. I've done it all: from startups to Fortune 500s, from desktop applications to global distributed systems to AI dark factory harnesses.

But I'm bored.

I want to work with a startup who's taking on real challenges, challenges that require the kind of engineering expertise that gave us the microprocessor revolution and the real birth of Silicon Valley.

Yes, everyone is talking about AI. Sure, in the right hands, with the right ring-fencing, AI is great, and there are plenty of great startup ideas around AI. At the same time, there is a lot of disinformation. The risk is that many of these startups will fail because they lack the serious engineering needed to use AI to its maximum potential.

But I'm looking for something else.

Do you have something that shifts the paradigm? Do you have a startup with a real challenge?

I'd like to hear from you.

I'd love to see what people are doing out there ... things that my AI agents haven't found yet.
