Ask HN: Anyone looking for a developer partner?
Now some details. Lately I've launched a small scale project, mostly to get experience in building a product from scratch, getting it out into the wild, working with customers directly, and seeing how I can get people's attention to it. I don't have anyone to talk to on this subject, so I'm basically learning on my mistakes.
Now, I'd be very happy to try working with an entrepreneur (or a tiny little team) having a technical background. I'm an engineer, but my business and marketing skills suck. So one of my goals is learning how things work from the business standpoint, maybe over time I can bring something to the table too. Another reason I'm posting this is that I feel that my technical progress is starting to slow down. I'm looking to find challenging tasks and problems that require a lot of engineering effort. I've had a couple of ideas myself, but was not convincing enough to have anyone join me, and I'll never make any of this alone.
My background is primarily telecom, I've been involved in development and maintenance of telephony solutions and switching/routing stacks on RT platforms, but some time ago I switched to web development in online advertising. I've also been doing some other stuff like DirectShow filters and Windows app development (using WinAPI and WPF).
I'm a BS in Applied Math, but I haven't been using most of it, which I regret somewhat. I'd be happy to work on something requiring a lot of math/algorithmic work.
If anyone is interested in a conversation, I'd be happy to talk and give more details. Any good advice will be greatly appreciated too...
PS. I'm based in Russia. Not sure if this is an issue, but I thought I'd just better tell right away...
