James Watling
Now
Hello! I'm James Watling, a technology leader deeply entrenched in the startup ecosystem, currently living the dream in St. George, Utah, with my incredible wife Brianna, and our adorable toy Pomeranian, Latte.
What I'm Doing Now
Reading and Learning
Currently, I'm diving into "Elixir in Action" (3rd Edition) by Saša Jurić, expanding my programming language repertoire and staying ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
Home Remodeling
I'm channeling my inner craftsman, remodeling our 1980's custom-built house. It's a journey of discovery and learning DIY skills, making our space more 'us' with every project completed.
Professional Focus
As the founding CTO of EarlyDay and a key player in several high-impact startups like KarmaCheck, Hub Token, and GuavaPass, I've been at the forefront of technological innovation and team leadership. Currently, through TechTalentVet, I'm dedicated to bridging the gap between tech talent and visionary companies, ensuring startups have access to top-notch professionals to bring their visions to life.
Advisory Roles
Leveraging over 12 years of experience in full-stack development and strategic leadership, I'm actively advising boards and serving as a fractional CTO. My aim is to guide startups through the complexities of scaling and refining their technology strategies, offering flexibility and expertise on demand.
Looking Ahead
I'm passionate about the intersection of technology and business growth. Whether it's through developing cutting-edge technology platforms, leading high-performing teams, or advising ambitious startups, I'm always looking for new challenges and collaborations that push the envelope.

What is this page
This is a concept introduced by Derek Sivers. To quote him:
Most websites have a link that says “about”. It goes to a page that tells you something about the background of this person or business. For short, people just call it an “about page”. Most websites have a link that says “contact”. It goes to a page that tells you how to contact this person or business. For short, people just call it a “contact page”. So a website with a link that says “now” goes to a page that tells you what this person is focused on at this point in their life. For short, we call it a “now page”.
