Mark K.
30+ yrs Senior Software Engineer | HIPAA | React, Python, PHP, DevOps
CTO in the AI Company, CTO in the SaaS project, CTO in the Government Project A while back a client asked me what my actual superpower was. I thought about it for too long and finally said: "I finish things." It sounds like a joke but I meant it. The thing that's gotten harder to find in this industry isn't talent, it's people who will sit with a hard problem long enough to actually ship a working version of it. That's what I do. The best part of my job is the moment someone says "this probably can't be done in that timeframe" and I already know it can. I've been writing software for a long time. Long enough to have made most of the interesting mistakes, and short enough to still find the work genuinely fun. The projects I take on tend to be the ones where the spec is half-written and the deadline is uncomfortable. If that sounds like where you are, send me a note. I'll tell you straight whether I think it's buildable, and roughly how long it'll really take.
