For hiring managers and recruiters

Hire someone who can take the whole problem to production.

I’m Neil Busque, an AI and full-stack developer with an operations brain and a designer’s eye. I turn rough ideas into software people can use—then stay close enough to make sure it works in the real world.

Neil Busque 90-second introduction Why I’m useful on a small, ambitious team. Open my introduction
The quick version

I’m a full-stack developer who came up through design, marketing, and operations. That means I do not see a feature as just code. I see the person using it, the handoff around it, the metric it should move, and the failure nobody thought to put in the ticket.

I have built and now operate more than ten production apps on my own: multi-tenant SaaS, AI agents with real permissions, realtime consumer products, internal tools, and automation that replaced hours of manual work. Before that, I ran operations and shipped systems across more than ten client accounts.

I’m looking for a team where I can own meaningful problems, work close to the people using what we build, and keep shipping. If you need somebody who can think through the product, design the experience, build the system, and take responsibility after launch, that is the work I want to do.

Selected work

Do not take the résumé’s word for it.

These are shipped products and client builds, not portfolio concepts. Open them, inspect the case studies, and ask me about the decisions behind them.

What I bring

One person. More of the problem covered.

01

End-to-end ownership

I can take a rough business problem through product decisions, UI, data, integrations, testing, deployment, and the fixes that only show up after launch.

02

Product and design judgment

I do not treat the ticket as the whole problem. I look at the flow, the hierarchy, the edge cases, and whether a real person will understand what to do next.

03

Operations in the room

Five years across marketing and operations taught me to connect software to revenue, handoffs, reporting, and the unglamorous work a team actually does.

04

AI with a review layer

I build agents around permissions, auditability, and human approval. The goal is useful leverage, not a demo that becomes dangerous around real data.

I do not need a perfect ticket. I need the real problem, access to the people who feel it, and ownership to make it better.

That is where I do my best work: close to users, close to the business, and responsible for more than the first clean demo.

What I’m looking for

A role with real ownership.

I’m looking for a full-time or long-term role where I can build useful AI and software with a small, capable team—not spend the week passing work between silos.

Role

AI Engineer
Full-Stack Product Engineer
Automation Engineer

Environment

High trust. Direct feedback. Small team. Real users.

Problems

AI features, internal tools, workflow systems, and products that need an owner.

Location

Remote or hybrid in the New Jersey / New York City area.

Commitment and work ethic

The work will never go quiet.

You should not have to chase a developer for context or wait until the deadline to discover the hard part. This is what I hold myself to.

You will see progress early.

I ship a working slice quickly, then improve it against real feedback. Long stretches of invisible work are a warning sign, not a process.

I communicate before you have to ask.

Clear updates, honest tradeoffs, documented decisions, and an early warning when something changes. No theatre and no hiding behind jargon.

I stay for the last 10%.

The edge cases, responsive states, permissions, loading failures, documentation, and handoff matter as much as the clean happy-path demo.

I care about the outcome.

If the right answer is a smaller build, a plain automation, or no AI at all, I will say it. The company winning matters more than protecting my first idea.

The path here

Built from the business side in.
