James Chase

I solve the pain that startups experience as they transition from the first few engineers to scaling the team and introducing process. As I grow the team, I retain those valuable original team members, implement light agile processes, and create an open supportive culture.

I started my career as a software engineer working on compilers and debuggers, moving to OS kernel code and drivers. I’m now focused on growing and retaining great teams while building complex high-availability web services and mobile apps leveraging technologies such as Node, Rails, Redis, Android Java, Objective-C/Swift, and SQL and NoSQL databases.

I’ve led engineering at a number of companies—selling two startups to public companies. I also enjoy “paying it forward” by advising some exciting technology companies.
