The People You Build With

Despite the COVID-19 economic downturn , I’ve been getting a ton of request for builders (designers, engineers, PMs, etc.). I find myself asking others for referrals more than usual.
I think it would be helpful if everyone shared the people they build with.
I’m not talking about Linkedin connections or people you work with at the same company. I’m talking about people you’ve been in the trenches with and would go to when you want to build something important.
Discovery and trust would be much easier because you could find people through people you’ve already built stuff with. And you wouldn’t have to awkwardly text/email your friends every time you need help. You could just go to their page and see the people they build with.
To kick things off, here are the people that I’ve built stuff with and will continue to build with (no specific order). I think they are the best at what they do.
