Exo-CTO
I "project manage" your digital presence, providing consistent maintenance, development and collaborative guidance.
You are able to offload this work to someone who is intelligent, communicative and supportive, gaining peace of mind, and reducing stress, while freeing more of your time.
Rates are $125 for businesses and $75 for non-profits, per hour.
For those wanting to exit Big Tech.
Two additional projects I'm able to help with as well.
Hours are flexible and roll-over on all levels; meaning, while paid on retainer, if hours are not fully used in one month, they will roll-over into the next month, compounding your hours.
If enough hours have accrued, a larger project can be accomplished with those hours.
Additionally, you are not paying for the hours of thought, you are paying for hours of action.
Why not to work with me
I'm competent, communicative and charismatic; I'm honest, and direct, and I will challenge you to be so as well.
I'm a team player – I know how to play my position, am considerate of the roles others play and am considerate of the game being played – you will be challenged to know your position, and play it well as well.
If any of this doesn't scare you, schedule a curiosity call and let's see how the vibes fit: https://calendly.com/dreamfreely/curiosity-call
Skill Set
I bring together business, cultural and technical expertise, intrinsically becoming an asset to your work and organization, while teaching you how to do so as well.
I build web applications using Python (Django), JavaScript (VueJS) and Linux (Arch/Ubuntu) primarily; DigiSnaxx being my flag-ship personal project.
As well, I help maintain a bespoke WordPress implementation for a small non-profit; I've worked professionally on Drupal and Ruby On Rails projects as well for world-renown scientific institutions.
Strategy is poetree and composition to me; my academic studies brought together Economics, Statistics and Communications – the major/minor of my degree from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities – along with Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, with a solid side of Eastern Philosophy.
I started as a Creative Writing major; and took over 20 years to graduate.
Oh yea, I'm 42 years old, so not exactly a youngin' either; I've seen a few things, ergo the multi-dimensional expertise I bring to any table at which I sit..
- https://edshareproject.org/ - built and re-designed using Drupal.
- https://documents.ipums.org/ - I brought from concept to product using Ruby on Rails (a formal paper was written about the work and process).
- https://unicornriot.ninja/ - currently helping to maintain and develop their rather bespoke WordPress installation and custom theme.

Schedule a Curiousity Call if you're at all interested!
Go Ghost
For those want to leave the Substack ecosystem, and would like to move to Ghost; I help you with this transition.
There are options, though I'm able to provide transition support from repopulating archives, uploading contacts, and web-site design.
This Ghost implementation is customized from the basic Dawn theme from Ghost; a few modifications to make the site distinct for what I'm seeking to do.
I can help you do the same; build your own customized site / newsletter; and if you want to self-host, we can help with this as well.
