<p>I think you have two somewhat conflicting goals </p>
<p>1. To find a role where you're heavily involved with shaping and building a product<br>
2. To find a short term contract </p>
<p>I've found this maybe just once. <br>
That started out as a two week gig to build out the skeleton of an application, but ended up basically operating as a founder for 6 months. <br>
Finally, though, you have to build a team to replace you, and move on. </p>

Hi everyone, <div><br><div>I'm about to start contracting and I thought I'd look here for something interesting. No recruiters please! <div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>As the subject suggests, I'm a developer who leans towards product management.</div>
<div>I've got a few years of full-stack experience, more focussed on the server-side but with a lot of JS and Ember in the last 8 months (we host the London Ember meetup at Enthuse, where I <a href="http://www.enthuse.me/site/about" target="_blank">currently work</a>). I've done a fair bit of product work recently, and it's something I've really enjoyed. </div>
<div><br></div><div><div>So, my ideal job would be working in a developer/product hybrid role, getting something out to your users lean-startup-style and developing it into a great product.</div></div><div>(This <a href="http://sidekickstudios.net/jobs/technical-lead" target="_blank">SideKick Studios job</a> fits me nicely, but unfortunately they aren't looking for contractors) </div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You can see some glowing recommendations on my <a href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/heeton" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> page, and obviously I'm happy to chat and share examples of my work. </div>
<div>
<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your time, </div><div>Alex</div>
</div></div></div>
