I'm an experienced small company CTO, though I've worked at a director level in larger organizations. I'm still super hands on, especially in the data engineering space, but with back end in general.
I have a history of building great products with small teams. For example the data platform we built at Terapeak (see my LinkedIn profile) powers much of eBay seller price analytics today.
A lot of my consulting work in the last few years is helping companies that have PMF but are struggling to scale their product or their engineering team move faster.
I good at thinking out of the box, being customer focused in terms of my product thinking and knowing when to invest in areas of code (and when not to).
My startup isn't going to make it, and I'm looking to join a company that has already nailed product market fit. Small large is okay, as long as the focus is on building value rather than meetings and politics. I would be willing to consider IC roles or management roles, I'm trying to be open to the universe about what is next.
I'm extra interested in healthcare / biotech, though I know those are usually US only for legal reasons. Also energy startups.
I'm not interested in Adtech or social media.
Anything else I'm open to.
I'm looking for 300-400k CAD depending on the role and other benefits (which is about 225-300k USD).
I think this is a pervasive problem in hospitals today.
I was in the hospital 5 weeks at the end of 2020, and I was very aware of all the extra challenges that it brought to healing. Poor sleep due to lights/noise/interruptions, sleeping with a strange roommate who had their own sleep disruptions. Low quality food with few options, and very little fresh fruits and vegetables. On top of constant pain, boredom fear and isolation (despite all the people around).
I understand the hospitals are resource constrained, and have reasons for many of the things they do, but at the same time I feel like rest, nutrition and psychological elements are largely ignored when designing today’s hospital experiences.
For what it’s worth this was in Canada, so at least I didn’t have financial stresses in addition, but perhaps there are other countries more human in their approach to care.
