Senior software engineer and engineering leader. Open to full-time, fractional, and project work.
Three ways to work together. Pick the one that fits.
01
Senior IC or engineering leadership at companies building serious product.
I'm open to roles with real ownership and an awesome team. Hands-on technical depth required. I'll write code, not just docs.
02
Embedded part-time with your team.
I shape technical direction and product strategy, write code alongside the team, and help with hiring. Useful when you need senior eng judgment without adding a full-time hire.
03
End-to-end ownership of a defined build.
Greenfield builds, relaunches, and custom feature work. Scoped and shipped end-to-end. Best when you have a clear deliverable and need someone to own it from kickoff to handoff.
Work I can publish. The resume has more I can't.

I'm Joe Kracz, a software engineer, engineering leader, and builder. I love turning ideas into real products that people use.
I have spent my career building software across the stack, from leading engineering teams and architecting systems to shipping production code myself. I bring both the technical depth and the product intuition to make the right tradeoffs.
