Hi,

Your posting describes owning the intelligence layer end to end, working close to the infrastructure, and setting the engineering bar. That's exactly what I've been doing.

At Addie I'm the founding and only engineer. I built a LangGraph agent system delivering counseling across web, SMS, voice, and WhatsApp, real-time voice on WebRTC + OpenAI Realtime API at sub-200ms latency, and three Next.js products on top. I owned architecture, build-vs-buy across voice/transcription/model providers, cost-per-conversation targets, and on-call.

That's well beyond demos: thousands of concurrent sessions, students in 10+ countries, 99.9% reliability. Strong Python (FastAPI), and I've shipped multi-tenant systems in Docker/Kubernetes before.

The high-autonomy, no-layers setup partnering with a Product Owner on the how is how I already operate at early stage.

Happy to share more or jump on a call.

Hi, 

Thanks for the email. Do you have a resume you could send me? I get a lot of traffic via HN and YC and I’d rather vet a little before jumping on a call. 

Also, I’ll tell you that everything in the product is the way it is for a specific reason and I’m not interested in putting it in the cloud or having LLM integrated. And just in case you missed it, this is a co-founder ask, there is no financial backing at this time, just a build. It has its drawbacks but I’m tired of waiting for investors and that just means more money down the road.

More recently I architected an 8M-user crypto wallet handling private keys via Android KeyStore and iOS Secure Enclave — security as a baseline, not an afterthought. Since then I've been sole engineer taking AI products from empty repo to production.
