Ask HN: I'm an engineer looking for another technical co-founder [AI+Mobile]

I've built an AI focused consumer mobile product prototype and have received substantial interest in alpha tests from users and increasingly, from investors too.

I am looking for a strong product minded technical co-founder to help build this out into something scalable and large. I'm more than happy to give a demo/more details offline.

The skill-sets I'm looking for are,

* A CS background (algorithms/ml)

* (Some) experience in implementing machine learning systems

* (Some) experience in low latency web services

* Generalist coding skills

* Interest in solving consumer problems

As for me,

* Employee #10 at a Bain/Lightspeed/NEA funded startup in the valley (now 270~ people). I quit a few weeks ago.

* Led various product initiatives there including co-creating its second product. From a 2 day hackathon project, it is today a team of ~30 people with customers like Williams Sonoma and Neiman Marcus.

* Background in web search and machine learning/humanoid robotics

Would love to chat more. Email: mail@<my HN username>.com

Haha.. I'm always irritated by the "big data hadoops java mongo agile" skill set blurbs. Tailoring it to what I would want to read myself :)
