Here's the deal. I'm a senior product manager in Austin. Most of my experience is hardware (semiconductor) or related software (IP, dev tools). I spend every waking moment reading Hacker News / Platformed.info / @asmartbear, playing with Rails/AngularJS/MeteorJS, or scribbling down ideas for new products.<p>I have plenty of time on my hands thanks to a management team that can't get out from under its own feet. My experience level puts me out of range of most folks' ideas of what a product manager <i>should</i> be. (This isn't a compensation comment. It's more of a seniority/culture comment.) But I've got a serious itch to contribute, and nowhere to burn off all this excess energy.<p>If anybody reading this has a need for been-there, done-that product skills, I'd like to hear from you. PT or contract basis fine. Just give me a chance to use the creative side of my brain.<p>@brianpiercy
