I have 22+ years of software development experience, a master's degree in computer engineering, and I've built two successful B2B software companies. I focus primarily on full stack web technologies.

If I can't help you out, I'll issue a full refund

I'm open to talking about anything I'm familiar with, like: planning for your startup, designing your database schema, making CSS do your bidding, or building your server.

Sendori was a VC-backed online advertising platform for domain name traffic. Our principal aim was to eliminate parked-pages and dynamically route type-in traffic to related advertisers. I recruited and lead a team of engineers, and was responsible for product development and deployment. At it's height, the platform served over 10 million requests per day. My key contributions included our core linguistic matching technology, and an all-erlang refactor of our back-end. We sold the business to IAC in 2008, and I stayed on as VP of technology for the larger organization for three years.
