Hi Michael,
I came across your profile — your 20+ years of web development experience, especially across backend systems, APIs, bug fixing, DevOps, and long-term client support, really caught my attention.
I'm a software engineer in Japan, and I built FaultWright myself: it deliberately breaks software in realistic ways, has an AI try to diagnose and fix the break, then checks whether the fix actually worked. The engineering side is done. What's missing is the commercial and product side — identifying valuable real-world use cases, understanding customer needs, shaping early engagements, and turning this into paid AI-training and evaluation work.
Your experience maintaining complex production systems, troubleshooting issues, building custom modules and APIs, and working across technical and stakeholder-facing roles seems especially relevant to the kind of experienced collaborator I'm looking for.
To start, this would be a flexible, revenue-share collaboration rather than a salaried role. If it goes well and we're aligned, I'd be glad to talk about a longer-term partnership, including a potential co-founder role.
Happy to walk you through what I've built if you're interested — let me know.
