I am loking for a part time business person/CEO. I am a tech guy. Have 15+ years experience building backend systems. Now, I build user facing websites/services and release them. I have no knowledge of marketing/sales, so if you are a non tech guy who wants to do some fun projects, hit me up. Email in profile.

Note that these are mostly side projects. Unless you are very good, they will be side projects for now :)
