Relocate: No. FullStack Product Engineer since before it was cool (I think). 7 years of experience mostly in B2B eCommerce analytics.

Looking a great team to join, building a product that makes their users feel like they have superpowers!

Relocate: Not on the first date. Note that the technologies section is LLM enhanced spam. It did look accurate (perhaps incomplete) to me. The rest is human written. What I probably am is a generalist that can handle a project from bringup (if needed), OS customization (if needed) up to the user facing part including talking to the customer about requirements. "Take ownership" is the corporate term? I best belong in…
