Why this guy?

I have a passion for taking complex technologies and creating easy to use systems and tools to cut through that complexity for everyone, including non-technical users.

I also enjoy sharing that new technology with people, and teaching how to get the most of it; through examples, presentations, hackathons, and other events.

As a technical leader and manager , I have successfully led local and remote teams in achieving aggressive goals, while contributing in all areas of design, planning, architecture, development, QA, documentation, support and IT management as needed.

As a senior engineer , I have participated in creating many products and applications in the robotics, financial, medical, network security, and social/entertainment industries.
