@davidschultz
Full-stack software engineer and founder of Everchess, building a cross-platform 3D chess app with AI-assisted development.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building Everchess, a cross-platform 3D chess app for web, iOS, and Android, as its sole technical founder. I developed 3D asset-generation pipelines and features including a 100-tier battle pass and bot matches powered by a server-side Stockfish engine.
I also build client websites and internal tools, and run self-hosted servers with secure remote access. I use Hermes and OpenClaw agents and write custom skills to automate creative and operational workflows; I’m looking to bring this hands-on AI experience into existing brands, businesses, and companies, on-site or remotely.
