Hey Adam & co,
Here's a bit about my story, what I do, and why I'm interested in working together 😊
Unstoppable Product Engineering for All Your Weirdest Problems
Hello, I'm Dale!
I'm a maker who loves to build things, usually with software but also sometimes at sea.
Originally from small-town Ontario, I got my start in the tech industry when I wanted to find space to sell products for a highschool competition.
It was absurdly complicated with forms and taxes and fees and permits and it felt like an opportunity...
Thamesford, Canada
...So I Built It
Okay, The Design Doesn't Hold Up Great After 10 Years
It was incredible to see all the vibrancy in the old empty store fronts I walked past every day!
Then Christmas Eve 2015... I get a text from my cofounder. Local brokers weren't happy and regulators weren't sure what we were, they ordered us to shut down or each face a $25,000 fine (or worst).
We spent the next 4 months fighting for our life, a blur of meetings and a complete rebuild of the product.
But... we won!
Not only that we managed to change the regulations surrounding the industry.
Most importantly it was the proof that change is as simple as sitting down and building what you want to see in the world.
Since then, I've built some cool things
Napkin-to-product execution of retail site selection platform. Scraped and processed 1.8Pb of structured data.
6 Week full rebuild of 2-Sided Chemical Marketplace.
With some very cool people
