I've developed, architected, manage and support systems that transact/process/report billions of rows of data monthly. I'm interested in helping people think through general complexities around Big Data and what it is, what to do with it, what's toos might or might not be a good fit.

Technology Needs - Startup

In my company we have 2 primary client types, big enterprise and startups. Startups have unique challenges and sometimes the biggest is knowing what you don't know. I can help listen to your ideas, problems or needs and telling you ballpark directions or approaches. I can also help validate, objectively, the "good ideas" of others.

Tech Ideas

In the 12 years of running Quotient Solutions, I've had the pleasure and responsibility for helping a wide range of people get things done. I'm particularly good at translating tech and business speak in to a common understanding.

I can be used for:
Validating ideas or approaches
Explaining your outsourced developer speak to tell you what's really being said.
Good or bad idea gut check
How to ask a developer or tech person for something
And many other things.

RFP Review -Making Sure You're Asking for It Right

Technology can be bought a lot of ways. Often the way you ask for and define your needs or expectations set the baseline for the entire engagement. After reviewing hundreds of RFP's while running Quotient Solutions I've often said, most are RFPs are expensive and complicated because of the way their written.

Before you ask for bids, I can help give feedback to keep your intent align with your description.

I need you to look at my sales & commission tracking app and help me formulate a clear cut monetization strategy. #iPhone #MiFunnel

What's the name of the app so we can look at it?

Mobile Technology

John Curtis answered

We're developing a web product with a team of 10 developers. How can I protect my source code if anyone leaves the company?

As everyone has mentioned , it all starts with your NDA and your employment agreement. Next keeping a highly motivated team that has a healthy culture of ethics. Finally from an architecture perspective you might be well advised to figure out a way to modularize things so not all people get all source. There are ways to do this which can be a benefit to the system you are making, the teams and responsibilities of the staff as well as a physical separation of concerns and access to help mitigate your problem of code availability.

Good luck!
