AI/ML + full-stack dev looking for design + marketing collaborator

I'm a dev and architecture lead from an AI/ML background, still have some full-stack dev experience (slightly biased towards back-end though), and have some availability now to help build an MVP for something good.

The side-project I've been working on for the last 4 years (link in profile) is essentially non-profit and likely to remain so, but does illustrate the sorts of things I am capable of. I have plenty of other ideas for potentially profitable projects though.

My ideal collaborator would be someone good at sales and marketing (because I'm not:-), with some tech skills (more in the front-end and design side). And the ideal project would be something genuinely useful. I see plausible.io as a great role model - tech + front-end/marketing co-founders and a useful product.

If interested in discussing further, drop me a note. BTW I'm based in London and open to coffee and/or co-working.

    Hi Michael ,

    I came across your post and was really impressed by your background. I’m a two-time Emmy-winning documentary editor currently building an AI tool to help editors streamline their workflow—something I’ve always wished existed while working on complex projects.

    I’m looking for a technical partner to help build the MVP. Your experience feels like a great fit, and I’d love to chat and see if there’s alignment. Let me know if you’re open to a quick call!

    Best,

    Mohamed El Manasterly

      Mohammed, Thanks for reaching out. Can't say I know much about documentary editing so not sure it would be a great fit, but we can have a quick chat if you wish.

        Great! Are you available tomorrow? I live in LA.

        1. 1

          Yes, I could do 17.00 London time which I think is 09.00 LA time. Are you on LinkedIn or another platform which supports direct messaging? Alternatively, my personal site is in my IndieHackers profile, and my contact details are on my personal site.

    Hey Michael, would be happy to chat and see if I can help in any way 👍 have you already built something or looking to start?

      I have been looking for an idea I can really get stuck into implementing an MVP for over the next few weeks while I still have some availability. Not found the idea yet, although have had some excellent chats with interesting people with great ideas, and have learned a lot about various new topics, so am actually quite enjoying the whole tech advisor thing. Anyway, it seems LinkedIn is a popular way of making an initial connection if you want.

    Hey Micheal,

    I'm from B2B sales background with past experience in sales and marketing. We are not from the same location but I love your spirit of creating new stuff, would love to connect and see if there is a potential collaboration possible :)

      Thanks Hemil. Feel free to reach out via LinkedIn - might need a note to say where you've got my details so I can tell it apart from all the recruiters.

    Are you looking for someone in your home country, or what is your priority?

    1. 1

      I'd prefer to meet a potential co-founder in person before making the commitment to set up a business with them, in which case it would be easier if they were in the same country.

        Sounds right. Good luck with the search. If it's ok for you, let's connect on Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshghimire/
