I am a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, inventor, executive and computer scientist. Whether it is writing scientific papers, giving business/technical presentations or speeches, negotiating with customers, discussing options with investors or designing and building software with the engineers, I am comfortable and switched on.My greatest strengths are a keen engineering awareness and the ability to fully visualize the workings of systems before they are built. This allows me to very rapidly size up and execute on software development goals that others may consider too ambitious or complex to attempt. I have, singularly, designed and built cryptocurrency systems, artificially intelligent robotic trading systems, application servers, database engines, ad-scale infrastructure and highly complex self-organizing object oriented frameworks in rapid time and with excellent results.I am also an experienced and successful manager and executive, having run my own companies and many engineering teams. I prefer to stress my strength as a developer, because I believe that my strength in that endeavour is the key to all of my other strengths. When I am in the position of building a company or a team, I approach that task in much the same way as when I build complex software; It is an exercise in visualizing the results and ensuring that all of the details are put in place to ensure that the whole comes together and operates with harmony and precision.Specialties: Executive and Technical Management, Startups (M&A, VC), Consulting and Professional Services, Cryptography, Electronic Commerce, Evolutionary, Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems, OOSD methodologies, Open Source, Patents and IP, XML and Web Services, High Assurance Transaction Processing, Ad-Scale infrastructure, Databases, Languages (C, C++, Java, XML, SQL, VB, .NET, Perl, PHP, GWT, etc...) and Technologies, but most important of all; Vision and Passion.
