Technical co-founder slash founding engineer type, seeking employment in a startup (where someone other than me does the fundraising). I can help with most of the other early startup stuff, including finding PMF and building MVP, then building a great engineering team and culture for growth.https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilvandyke/
