I discovered a hole in the history of broadcasting and filled it in, with several patent applications filed. Play4Me will be a completely new form of online broadcasting using elemental musical signals to transfer the love emanating from the fingers of a musical artist directly into your existing personal device. We will also create custom hardware.

Leading the technological vision for this early-stage ed-tech venture, I assembled and participated with a team that released 4 mobile applications into the Google Play and Apple Stores. I helped define the company’s scalable business model, co-authored a patent (pending) and contributed the dominant portion of original code for the UX and backend.

INgrooves is an example of bootstrapping an idea into a phenomenon. Here, I was able to forge a business where none had existed before. As the first contributor, I built the mission-critical application that operated the business on a single laptop. That same code base scaled to replace all the digital delivery systems of the world's largest music company.

I was invited to join the technical staff by the founder, former Napster co-founder Jordan Ritter. I implemented a cross-platform HTTP tunneling library for SpamNet that allowed fault-tolerant connectivity in unknown corporate environments, rapidly developing HTTP parsers/generators and integrating them with SpamNet Linux and Windows servers and Windows.

I became the 9the employee of this well-known and highly controversial startup and managed the now infamous Napster team. I built Nexter, which created an asynchronous information bus for the next-generation Napster platform, and an automatic identification, indexing and supply chain management prototype for managing digital content and compliance. These.

I recruited and managed a highly-motivated professional team to implement solutions for the Project Management industry. I architected several scalable project tracking and forecasting products and components, as well as a proprietary web site templating system for client/server applications. I envisioned and applied breakthrough management techniques, now.
