A couple of things:
1. data management for music publishers. This came out of nowhere but has got me back into coding, deploying, test. And I've got real lessons using AI-generated code that I wouldn't have got just reading other ppl's blog posts!
We've been mapping all the data formats publishers work with, how to organise them better and build a suite of apps around it.
2. the other projects it the framework. Aside from the product itself, I've ended up with a really nice framework (FE and BE) and playbook for copilot to follow. I've hit multiple problems with AI generated code and had to rework it like I have for junior devs! But now, the framework focuses the work and stops the slop!
I want to build out all the product-dev-helper tools I've wanted in the past. I've already got a lovely schema-UI system, UI components which are data-aware and the basis of some low-ish-code tools. I've also nearly got a "run tests and fix" local LLM which saves tokens.
Really enjoying this.

10+yrs fCTO/fCPO experience in data-heavy at scale applications. I take on 3-4 projects a year helping companies/teams at their inflection points.
Location: UK
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: full stack, especially data-rich / data-heavy applications. E.g. large scale or high complexity of data. Backends include python, node (also java, PHP and others); frontend mostly React but enough experience to adapt. Very deep knowledge of infra and experience in infra-as-code, scaling etc.
Most of my roles are fCTO/fCPO at inflection points: idea to MVP; MVP to stability; stability to scale-up.
