Experienced technical manager and project stimulator

If you’re dreaming of starting your own software company, I have a few tips for you. Over the past decade, I’ve transformed BearStudio from a solo venture into a thriving team of 20 talented individuals. This journey has been filled with valuable lessons that I believe can serve as a blueprint for aspiring entrepreneurs.

You know the type of person I’m talking about. The one who shows up after the fact to explain how you “should have” handled a problem. Sometimes it’s the employee who never said a word about an issue but suddenly has lessons on management to share. Sometimes it’s an “expert” who doesn’t even pay their own invoices on time, but still wants to teach you how to negotiate with clients. Or worse, the person who disappears for three months and comes back with a list of perfect solutions… to a problem you already solved.
