The Blog
My blog is an expression of information, ideas, lessons learned, commentary on technology and entrepreneurship.
Who, What, When
When I was eight years old I designed my first product for sale. It was an air-car; a hover vehicle that used four powerful fans to keep it aloft and allowed it to maneuver across any terrain. After I had completed my first set of drawings, I was convinced that I could sell the concept to NASA. All I needed was a connection. My dad, who was an aerospace engineer, was the first person I ever 'pitched' a concept to. He politely let me know that NASA had something in the works already, but that I shouldn't stop inventing.
I am an entrepreneur and software engineer at heart.
I am passionate about the creation and execution of new ideas.
I began my career in startups back in the heady days of dotcom at a tiny company called Citysearch. It was a revolutionary concept where we were going to put fantastic amounts of information on the web (which wasn't exactly mainstream in 1996). I worked countless hours, at times slept by my desk and two years later TMCS was trading on NASDAQ. Amazing.
I have had the good fortune in my career to work with some incredibly talented and devoted people in diverse verticals; from the early days of web at Idealab / Citysearch, startup to IPO to acquisition in the nascent mobile gaming space at Jamdat Mobile, big data / machine learning as CTO at recsys company Sidebar and most recently with a startup to-be-named at Los Angeles based Accelerator MuckerLab.
