Tech-based marketing guy. I started out as a systems programmer in a software field adjacent to semiconductors. Have worked with names you probably know.

Former manager of several software product lines in both a startup and a billion dollar company.

I learn something every day from HN and spend way too many hours on here.

If you recall it, would you mind sharing the blog post that inspired the digital personal assistant?

This is fascinating. The idea of leveling off in the learning curve is one that I hadn't considered before, although with hindsight it seems obvious. Based on your recollection (and without revealing too many personal details), do you recall any specific areas that caused the struggle? For example, was it a lack of understanding of the program architecture? Was it an issue of not understanding data structures? (or whatever) Thanks for your comment, it opened up a new set of questions for me.

Awesome! I love news-related ideas like this since I'm interested in several industries. Had an idea similar to this a few years ago (in a different industry though) but didn't follow-through because I got bogged down in hosting/email infrastructure decisions. Keep it up!

That's super interesting. Any ideas on other trends that are occurring but that VCs won't touch? Genuinely curious now.

Who Am I?

20 year marketing veteran with technical background and experience in product, product marketing, and growth.

Began my career as a software developer in a startup in a semiconductor-related software field. Moved into a hybrid product/product marketing role. Worked alongside our B2B sales and marketing team in a cross-functional role, and collaborated with our global engineering teams and partners for global B2B marketing and sales activities.

  Now I'm interested in finding a new growth or marketing role in tech.  I'm open to a variety of industries.

If you are hiring, the roles I fill are similar to those “in-between” roles that fall into two categories: (a)Engineering teams with expertise and need a technical marketing person to help translate their expertise into sales/marketing content (b)A MarCom team who knows branding and content, but needs some assistance translating marketing speak into technical audiences
