You have been blessed to work on self-organizing and self-managing teams. When we come into client orgs, they typically have no process in place and cannot understand why they're not shipping features.
Scrum isn't perfect, but its an "industry-standard" practice that we can use to get quick buy-in from client stakeholders, and then use to apply even the most basic level of process to these teams.
As an engineer at Google or a freelance developer it never made much sense to me.
But as a manager of remote, distributed, international teams?
I dunno, I think Messiah works as an ending to the trilogy. There's quite a bit of intrigue and action. Nothing gets too weird—Duncan's Ghola is the only new sci-fi addition.
Children takes a sharp turn with the whole possession thing and then Leto's metamorphosis. But Messiah is quite adaptable and is the real ending for many of the same characters as Book 1.
I help non-technical founders handle their tech so they can focus on growth.
If you're a B2B startup founder struggling to stay on top of your design & development processes while simultaneously juggling your business's sales, marketing, and operations, I can help.
Over the last ten years, I've contributed to over 25 products launched across app stores and the web. In that time, I've worked with Fortune 500s as a consultant at Google, with venture-backed startups as a partner at Gradient, and with non-technical founders as founder and project lead at SANE.digital.
As soon as next week, I can join your team as an independent technical co-founder, taking over your design & development processes and freeing you up to focus on the only thing that matters to an early stage startup:
Growth.
Imagine:
- No more missed deadlines.
- Weekly feature releases.
- Faster bug turnaround.
Don't just take my word for it. Listen to my clients:
“James understands what it means to work with a startup where every dollar counts. Thanks to him, we were able to bring our products to market much faster than we could have ourselves.” - Matt Ivester (CEO, A Rad Corporation)
“After three years of other agencies promising a lot but delivering little, getting to test a prototype after just a few weeks was very cool. From the first time we sat down, I really felt James got what I was trying to do.” - Andy Lin (Founder, Self Portrait Project)
“After an entire year of working with another firm, our app just did not work—the core feature was broken and the app drained the battery. James was able to research the problem and find a workable solution in a matter of weeks.” - Lachie Given (Founder, Knowhere)

I help non-technical founders build and launch apps. I'm an ex-Googler turned Freelancer turned Studio Owner with over twenty apps in the Apple App and Google Play Stores. If you've got an idea for an app, I can help you validate, design, develop, launch, and grow it.

It makes a lot of sense.
