I've recently started pursuing my true passion, music recording and production. I've been studying jazz guitar, music production, mixing, and mastering with Berklee Online (a school I dreamt of attending as a teen!).When I'm not in the studio, I can be found supporting local theater groups as a pit musician playing guitar, drums, and percussion.

Led product development for Aperture as the team delivered 19 releases and new features including a Unified Library with iPhoto, iCloud Photo Streams, new-and-improved retouching tools, and many performance and stability improvements.

Recruited a new team to build an HTML5 authoring environment for rich media ads so you can have more free iOS apps.  Led the iAd Producer product from concept to 1.0 launch.

Rebuilt Apple's eCommerce website as the company turned up the volume with Windows support for iPod and the introduction of iPhone.  Hired 150 people, increased systems capacity by 50x, and redesigned it from this "vintage" look http://bit.ly/oWAYrm.

Built Amazon's professional services technology team (~50 hires), delivered "powered by Amazon" sites, recruited and certified service providers, and launched the mid-market eCommerce solution "WebStore by Amazon".

Ran Amazon's $4B cash register : Shopping Cart, 1-Click, Checkout, Your Account, Promotions and Tax.  Increased conversion, decreased customer contacts, and built a robust set of web services.

Co-founded this company with a good friend and built eCommerce and content management solutions for clients in the Bay Area.  I learned a ton as we grew from 2 to 100 employees and I'm happy to say a number of these folks still work with me some 10 years later.

Taught Objective-C and NeXTSTEP programming to C++ programmers, ported Display PostScript to Windows NT, and met my future wife.  Not a bad deal.
