Personal assistant for deep research and various tasks. Multiple web, engineering, & personal projects

I'm looking to hire someone on a part-time contract basis to help with a variety of personal projects. Most of my projects have their toes in a variety of topics (mechanical engineering, software, marketing, DIY home projects) so its important that I find someone who is flexible and considers themselves a generalist. I don't expect you to be versed in every single topic I'm working on, but I am looking for someone who likes research, digging into how things work at a granular level, and taking on challenging projects. I need someone who considers themselves a "problem solver" and has a high standard of quality. I'd rather you take 3x as long and find a great solution, then give me one I could have found within a short period of time. I produce online courses for a living ([login to view URL]) and also have a handful of side projects. Some of the projects I'm working on: - Building and mechanizing prostheses (including lots of goofy initiatives like embedding an apple watch into an arm) - Building a brick wall facade - Managing a beta group for a site where you can bet on online startups - Putting together software deals from 115 companies to offer to my students - Managing a Slack community Tasks could range anywhere from sourcing mechanical parts to comparison shopping to finding blog posts. • "Find me the best 3D printer for printing this object" • "Find me a list of Shopify apps that meet these criteria." • "I want to find a design panel available in the US that looks like this" • "Find me 5 people in San Francisco that have experience in x,y,z" • "Can you find any events in Spain based on my interests in June" • "Can you find a copywriter for hire that writes like this" • "Read through this application stack and let me know if any have x,y,z experience" • "Can you organize this data into something that doesn't look like a jumbled mess?" • "Can you find me someone who can make a really bad website that looks like this" • "Can you figure out what this part is called?" • "How much would it cost to get a broker for an SBA loan? How does that work?" • "Grab 10 of the best testimonials you can find for these 4 courses" I'm based in San Francisco and looking for someone with minimum weekly availability for the long term. You can be located anywhere and work whenever. Ideally, I'll create and maintain a list of weekly tasks and you'll finish them / update them / request clarifications as needed. I'd love for this to work out for the long term, as many people I hire (if they're the right person) I've kept employed for 4+ years.
