Paul Haddad 

We're getting inundated with tech support requests, I've tried but can't keep up. I asked my oldest (comp-sci major) if he wants to help, for $ of course.

I tell him how much per hour and he starts negotiating with me! “You are never supposed to take the first offer.”...

Where the hell does he get this from?

@paul I’m a “senior success manager” for an Edtech non-profit about to be acquired by a for-profit and am legitimately worried about the future.

I would seriously love to help out if it doesn’t work out for your friend.

@paul consider me! I have over 20 years of experience in building software. I left work over a year ago to take care of my three kids, but have plenty of time when their school is in session.

I could easily give you 3-4 hours a day, sometimes can go more, and actually hack a lot on weekends (see my GitHub for how much time I have: https://github.com/laimis)

Ping me here or over email at laimis @ gmail

I also have a background in project management and helping teams wrangle their product roadmaps. I've been in the Ivory beta, and have enjoyed seeing how it has progressed!
