Feel free to e-mail (in profile). Started by trying to build tools for recruiters and interviewing recruiters for customer feedback. Found a good fit with a recruiter who placed my whole NY team before our startup got acquired and he offered me a consultant gig. Really enjoying it so far. Great way to monetize a mix of engineering career consulting + staying on top of startup trends.

Interesting! Do you feel like as you get further and further from having done the actual work (that you're helping recruit for) that you'll still be as effective?

I'm still coding professionally (js eng) and stay on top of trends! But, I don't think coding in the trenches will make me more effective. I've had a few eng. jobs, most of my friends are engineers, and I'm really passionate about job trends, job satisfaction, and employee retention.

With that foundation I'm more effective as I see more career trajectory data points when I talk to candidates that specialize (data, security, devops, ml) or ladder up (vp, manager, cto). Then I can provide even more value to new candidates with the career counseling approach.
