After a successful run with Mashery from the garage days, an exit, a divestiture, and mapping out cloud application development and integration product strategy at TIBCO, I decided to take a break and spent the second half of 2016 re-acquainting with life. Spent time by the water. Finished a tree house, workbench and shed. Built epic Halloween costumes with my kids with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, LED's and EL wire. Read. Took kids to school. Re-energized.
