My educational background is in computer science, with an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and a master's degree from Stanford. I have spent much of the past 13 years on the bleeding edge of technology, with a focus on real-time distributed systems and wireless technology. I have founded 2 software companies, both in the real-time, wireless space. While I am a technologist by heart and like to watch software come to life, I truly enjoy building something that solves a real business problem and delivers tremendous value to the end user. I have a work ethic and passion for building software that borders on the fanatic. I have built teams that have been more like families and that have delivered truly amazing products used by some of the biggest and most demanding companies in the world.
