Let me help you with your tech!
Hi IndieHackers,
I’d like to consult you and your company on the topics of tech, system design, and eng-vs-business tradeoffs, for free.
What’s in it for you?
You get the benefit of my experience and expertise. I can help you navigate the tricky tech-vs-business tradeoffs and point you in the direction of less engineering pain and more leadership rainbows. Most likely I won’t have an answer for you (there are rarely obvious “right” answers), but I will help you reason through the problem and use your superior domain knowledge to get to the right answer yourself.
What’s in it for me?
This experiment is a hypothesis validation. The hypothesis is “I can use my experience to bring value to tech projects by way of a simple conversation”. This works well in my day job, but I’m not sure if it’s transferable to the outside world. Besides, it’s fun to talk to strangers about tech and business!
My background: 4.5 years at Google - as a software engineer and, later, TL; 1.5 years at <fintech decacorn> as TLM; working on side projects hiring freelance engineers and designers.
What I’m good at:
- Backends, cloud, high-load
- Service architecture, storage solutions and schemas, data flow design
- ML infra and ML principles: how to marry ML to prod; when to start using ML; how to prepare for ML in the future without investing in it right away
- Evaluation and measurement (impact, experiments, hypothesis validation, regressions detection)
- Tech-vs-non-tech tradeoffs (engineers happiness, processes vs systems, human cost vs compute cost; no-code)
What I’m not good at:
- Low-level and close-to-hardware stuff
- ML guts (network architecture, training & tuning, specific frameworks)
- Peculiarities of specific platforms (mobile, desktop, crypto, etc)
If you're interested, post a short description of your project and I'll DM you to arrange a chat.
Hey there Entosha.
I built Enrichly.io. An email enrichment tool that generates b2b direct dials. It's built on bubble with xano as our database. We're accessing an industry-leading api. This current tech stack has not been without issues and I think there is a ton of room for improvement. I'm curious to see what exactly it is though.
How would you go about creating something like litmus.com or emailonacid.com, I want to create a new email account for each user and when an email is sent to that email id I want to show how that email looks on multiple email clients like gmail for android, windows outlook, apple mail etc
What do you think would be the simplest way to add authentication and subscription/payments to a site? For example, if you're trying to convert a static site to a web app.
Specific tech/providers are not my forte, but I would look at serverless auth options (e.g. Firebase Auth) and Stripe for payments.
