A member of the executive team with direct responsibility for the strategic development of our SaaS platforms. Oversaw all aspects of our technology solutions, including design, development, deployment and operational support. Worked with a team of brilliant technologists, and we built an incredible cloud platform for improving the accessibility of our digital world.

I helped companies implement practical strategies for creating universally accessible information technology. Companies typically engaged me to evaluate existing product platforms against industry standards, such as the W3C WAI WCAG 2.0 Guidelines and WAI ARIA. In addition to product evaluations, I drew upon my extensive software development experience to provide design, development and educational support across the life of my customer’s Web and mobile accessibility initiatives. I have helped numerous industry leaders create accessible technology solutions for their customers. Some of my past and present clients include:• Marriott International• Morgan Stanley• Freedom Scientific• SSB Bart Group• Safeway, Inc.• Moxiesoft, Inc.• Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)• Vanda Pharmaceuticals• mscripts, LLC.• Aetna• Law School Admissions Council (LSAC)• WebMD• Facebook• International Hotel Group• Disney• NIB• Foundation Fighting Blindness• American Foundation for the Blind• Priceline• Swarthmore College• Thomas Keller Restaurant Group

The Daily-e Corporation was my technology playground – and one of my most successful ventures to date. Very few people get the opportunity to do what they love, at the time I founded The Daily-e, I loved nothing more than engineering elegant, robust, flawless software. (Yes, I said flawless!) Within the first year of operation, I grew the business from $0 to just over $2 million in annual revenue. We provided a diverse base of customers with world class software development services on the Microsoft platform. As the CEO, my responsibility was to innovate solutions that truly transformed our customers. Being a geek, I also defined the architecture, helped engineer the software, and developed code on all tiers (though I loved the data end of things!). I managed a dozen software engineers at our peak and mentored many to senior positions. Perhaps the most fun was exploring "sweat equity" opportunities with all the crazy smart entrepreneurs who had a billion dollar idea. I actually won a Microsoft BizSpark award for one of them!My customers included:• BMW • CoNeXus Software, Inc.• Medway, LLC• American Foundation for the Blind• The Seeing Eye, Inc.

Yeah, OK - I am also a wine geek. So take software engineering and mix it with the wine industry and you get LivePalate. The plan was to connect wine enthusiasts with winemakers through live virtual tastings. We built the software, including a broadcast system and mobile apps for remote audience participation. We even completed a four episode pilot interviewing great wine makers including:• Giovanni Bertani• Douglas Lehman• Roberto DamonteWe signed up several retailers to broadcast the tastings but ultimately decided that the retail market was not yet ready for the solution. Perhaps someday!

Interliant was a "roll-up" Internet Service Provider which focused primarily on hosting solutions. My company (The Daily-e Corporation) was acquired by them. We were the single most profitable business unit and I was integrated into the senior management team. My role was to innovate new web application services that could be sold to the hosting customers that were acquired. Unfortunately, the bubble burst and the burn rate was too high for this $200 million a year company to survive. Thankfully, I was well respected by the board and was able to re-acquire my company and return to the world of private ownership. I have lots of funny stories and many lessons learned from this experience. I am happy for every moment of it.

I cut my teeth in technology consulting with Omnitech, a value added reseller and software development company serving the NY metro area. In my first year, I took over and built the software engineering department. I designed and developed a proprietary solution that enabled mirroring and remote fail-over control of file servers. The solution led to a $5 million investment from Intel Corporation. That investment allowed us to grow our business to approximately $20 million in annual sales. I was responsible for the delivery of all services. I managed a team of 50 engineers, including 6 brilliant practice managers. My client list included the best of the best in New York.

I have worked with American Foundation for the Blind for over 27 years. Oddly, I was employed directly for only four of those years. I was the youngest director in the history of the organization. My responsibilities included:• Network Computing• Telecommunications • Software Development of Business Solutions• Strategic Planning of Information Technology• Developing Microprocessor Based Speech DevicesI remain associated with AFB and will continue to support them in their efforts to level the playing field for those suffering from vision loss.

I was a software geek through-out high school and college. Upon graduating, I was recruited by M.W. Kellogg, a leading petrochemical design firm. I was recruited into a highly specialized group of software engineers and given the responsibility of leading an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program for the electrical engineering teams. In my first year, I developed four (4) Expert Systems for a variety of system engineering tasks. The solutions ultimately saved the company a substantial amount of money and preserved highly complex, specialized, knowledge for future generations of electrical engineers.
