- I've been organizing my own Arduino workshops and teaching laymen how to build things (there's a session tomorrow, actually!),
- I'm participating in the venture-lab.org internet class and helping people learn to apply the Business Model Canvas along with lean startup methodologies,
- I organize tech community social events that help build our young community here in South Florida,
- I advise a few local single founders who are without technical expertise and guide them toward good long-term technical decisions for their startup,
- I'm an early adopter, enjoy playing with new tech and can provide strong, constructive, specific feedback,
- I'm a relatively accomplished developer and engineer,
- I understand good design from bad design. Aesthetics are not lost on me,
- I have a family and juggle a mediocre work-life balance that's gradually improving.
If there's something I can help you with, just ask here or @mikegreenberg on Twitter. Be specific about what you're trying to fix/solve/accomplish. The more details you provide, the better I can help you out. :)
This thread actually marks the one year anniversary that I've been doing these and it's been quite satisfying for everyone involved. I hope this inspires other people to help out even if you don't think you have anything useful to offer. Actions like this will only improve our community (locally and across the net).
Cheers! Mike
PS: I'll typically reciprocate the amount of effort/consideration that you've shown in your request. If you show me that you're thoughtful about the feedback you want from me, I'll be more apt to give you something useful. I'll accept any requests made before the end of today and will attempt to respond by the end of the weekend.
PPS: You can check out my previous submissions if you want to see the sort of feedback I can provide.
