I'm a dyed in the wool startup guy and I've never enjoyed the rich opportunities of this incredible region more than I do right now.My recent co-founder and CTO post was enjoyable even though we ran out of money... (amazing story.) It's a role where my experience, market sense, design, architecture, hands-on engineering and leadership skills came together well.I'd like to find a similar opportunity as technical co-founder or CTO in an early stage startup of 6-8 people. I want to work with A players that are as committed as I to doing something important. I like a big challenge.I possess the core skills that make me an excellent developer; I'm experienced, thoughtful, driven and exhibit extraordinary attention to detail. And while my hands-on development experience spans the full stack of modern web and mobile technologies, I bring a lot more to the table. Skills like capturing and articulating the vision and the market opportunity in an innovative UX / UI and building the back-end to make the front-end sing. Skills like enhancing value though intellectual property. Skills like keeping my team focused and making sure they have the resources to do their best work.It's a fascinating time to be involved in mobile and web app development. There are promising new technologies (AngularJS, Node.js, Express.js, Celluloid.io, Redis, MongoDB, Phonegap) joining more established technologies (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sinatra, EventMachine, Goliath, Ruby on Rails, Nginx) allowing us to create scalable, testable, maintainable web and mobile apps with greater agility and velocity than ever.If you hear of something cool, or if you've got a breakthrough idea, let me know.

My design supported an innovative customer acquisition strategy based on event invitations. Led a small team to deliver an Alpha product responsible for raising seed capital. Post seed, I led a design intensive and produced a breakthrough mobile calendar client design powered by a scalable, stateless JSON API.
