Are you:

​

• Systems-minded?

• Unconventional in how you think and solve problems?

• Structured enough to build, but flexible enough to break assumptions?

​

Can you:

​

• Override your assumptions of what a SaaS is — and what it could become?

• Think beyond traditional app mechanics and test new behavioral systems?

• See infrastructure as a tool, not the product itself?

​

Do you:

​

• Have a technical background but don’t want to build from zero?

• Want to step into something already alive and help evolve it?

​

I’m building an unconventional social ecosystem currently approaching MVP.

​

This is not a ground-floor idea.

The organism already exists.

​

What I need now is someone who can help evolve its nervous system.

​

Not looking for someone to “own the code.”

​

Looking for someone who understands architecture, scale, systems, and behavioral design.

​

West Coast preferred. Local is ideal.

​

If this sounds like your lane, reach out.

So hear me out...

Modern dating feels fake AF now. Everybody’s optimizing themselves into being emotionally guarded meanwhile nobody actually goes outside anymore unless an app tells them to.

I’m not even originally from Oregon, but after living here for five years I finally understand why people say Portland is weird. Problem is nobody can actually explain how it’s weird. You kinda just experience it and either love it or question reality a little bit...

Probably both.

Anyway... instead of dragging out small talk for three weeks just to never meet, I’d rather just go do something intentional with somebody who can actually hold a conversation.

There’s a locally owned spot I’ve been wanting to check out anyway, and honestly I probably need an excuse to get out more myself.

For transparency, part of why I’m doing this is because I’ve been building something centered around reconnecting people offline again. Not pitching you a startup... not asking you to invest in crypto or join a cult. I just think people are starving for real connection and nobody really knows how to fix it.

I’m 34, black, male, straight, locs, sarcastic/dark sense of humor, and I overthink basically everything.

Worst case scenario... good food and a funny story.

Best case... guess we find out.
