I'm a developer that loves APIs.

I am a life long entrepreneur, manufacturing my first set of home-made scratch-and-sniff stickers in the 2nd grade (bartered them for a batch of ‘Martini’ stickers). I have been coding since I was in grade school, writing my first BBS software in Apple BASIC (PR #2, IN #2) — it took one call (beta tester, neighbor). My first Internet startups included the rack full of beige box mid- and full-size towers, self-built with pride, prayers, and Slackware Linux. Interconnected with 10Base-T hubs (not switches)

Since then, my littany of online startups include: Web hosting, directories, search engines, marketing/SEO (long before that was an acronym), service monitoring, mobile app development, contract consulting and development.

I enjoy business, coding, tech, food, and people. Lucky for me, my work keeps me immersed in all of those things.
