looking for a technical co-founder to team up on building a venture in the AI/ML space. Ideally someone excited about building scalable apps with real-world impact, especially where AI can be applied at the application layer to solve specific, well-understood problems.
About me:
I’ve worked as a Technical Product Manager at a Fortune 5 company, leading development on search capabilities and machine learning products — mainly around NLP, name entity recognition, and applying LLMs to drive workflow automation and completion. Most of my experience is in the tech and healthcare space, but I’m open to other verticals where there's a clear problem we can solve well.
I’ve built and shipped several prototypes on my own, including GoAutoZen https://goautozen.com/, using tools like Firebase Studio, Cursor, and Lovable.dev. I’m not a full-time developer, but I’m deeply familiar with product development cycles, user experience, and frontend/backend integration — so I’m not coming in blind.
Who I’m looking for:
A technical partner who brings:
Strong full-stack engineering experience
Comfort with infrastructure, DevOps, security, and scaling systems
Curiosity and energy to build and iterate quickly
Ideally someone based in the US (bonus points if you're in the Midwest/Chicago area)
Values I care about:
Speed & experimentation – Build fast, test, and fail forward.
Trust – Communicate openly, follow through on commitments, and be transparent.
Drive – You have the time and energy to build seriously and sustainably.
If this sounds like you — or if you have an idea you’d want to collaborate on — feel free to DM me. Happy to share demos, ideas, or just chat....
