I am a designer. I started my project with a good technical co-founder, but he is having trouble committing the project and has to focus on paying work. The product concept is pretty detailed and well-thought-out.<p>What I am hoping for is someone who has an interest in working with music culture. The product is really easy to be passionate about if you are a musician, a producer, or are related to, friends with, or sleeping with one. This isn't a hard requirement, but it will help you understand the customer and his or her needs and how the product solves them. Musicians I have talked to get it instantly, and non-musicians tend to need a little convincing.<p>From a technical point of view, there will be a lot of big data, relatively complex algorithms, and machine learning involved.<p>I am a lightweight coder from my UI background, so I can be a padawan coder or do unit testing when there is a lull in the design work.<p>It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: I have a good design for a good product concept, but I am looking for an actual partner, not an engineering bitch. The long-term success of this product will be based on the ingenuity and creativity we bring to the engineering. I want to build a successful partnership with someone who can take technical ownership of this and work with me to create something amazing.<p>So if you are looking for a project to work on or to apply with, then give me a few minutes over the phone or skype or in-person and I'll tell you what I'm up to and why I think it will be a success.<p>I am based in Cupertino, CA.
