About Me

Hi

I eat, sleep and breathe technology.

I’ve held technology leadership positions in a variety of industries operating in both domestic and international environments. I recently left a position as a mathematician and risk assessor at a financial institution that focuses on purchasing distressed mortgage assets. We would work with the borrower to reduce principle or interest.  My duties centered around how to determine the best offer to result in a performing loan using an entirely algorithmic approach.

Before my boring days at a bank, my next most recent venture was a gaming startup.  Soldiers for fortune was a startup that allowed players of different skill sets to compete against each other in tournaments for cash. Before that, I was a Director of Technology at Tiltware, where I managed a team that developed software to manage customer analytics, business intelligence and random number generation for a large online global gaming website.

Before working in online gaming, I worked as a geek at a branding agency.  Before that, as a software consultant with Handspring, Microsoft, Multiactive, Macromedia and Deloitte.
