Generally speaking, I’m a software developer, but more than that I’m a startup guy – a tech generalist. My work has run the gamut from running my own startup, managing developers and designers, doing product development, biz dev, and marketing, developing large distributed enterprisey Java things, developing complex and distributed Rails applications from front to back, and drifting into the land of design and user experience. Things that I really like: macs, git, vim, great interaction design, marketing, customer service, and behavioral economics.
I also love music, play guitar in a band, and take lots of photos.
What I do
I am the founder of Planypus, a place to share plans with your friends. I set the general direction for the company as well as leading the development team. I am the senior developer and one of the first employees at CohesiveFT where I am primarily responsible for the web side of the Elastic Server On-Demand product, a virtualization factory that lets you easily produce virtualization ready and cloud ready servers from a component library. I have about 10-13 years experience writing software including leading a successful effort to build an open source quantum computing simulator, working on next generation semantic web technology at IBM’s Extreme Blue program, and building a distributed messaging system for an airline reservations system at G2 Switchworks. I got degrees in computer science and linguistics at UIUC but I was programming even before high school. I’m not sure I want to be a coder all my life, but it’s certainly something I enjoy right now. Especially in Ruby.
