I've been programming for 30+ years, starting as a kid. Currently a technical product management director at a large public company, but looking to move to a individual contributor role at a small-ish company (between 40-200 employees). Prefer part-time.

I've worked at every level: launching a startup from scratch, bringing up new hardware boards, writing firmware, full stack web development, and building PaaS.

I operate with very high autonomy: you can point me an ambiguous project, tell me the speed/quality tradeoff you want (e.g. rapid PoC or production-grade deployment) and I will figure out who to work with, what needs to be done to get all the way into production, and then actually do it.

The ideal role would allow me to do actual work, meaning either heads-down development or working sessions with other engineers, at least 90% of the time.
