I lead, learn, and convert pies in the sky into birds in the hand.
I'm a code wrangler and general purpose advocate with the goal to provide open tools for people building social spaces (of the 3D variety) on the web. The project went live in March of 2010 so at this point I'm recruiting and laying tech foundations using new tech like WebGL and WebSockets.
Gorbet Design has contracted with me to develop the data infrastructure underpinning the rotating installation art in the new terminals at the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport.
I am working with the founders of a vibrant coworking space in Seattle to create a member logging and billing system that balances their dedication to community and their need to grow beyond manual systems.
This research project with Agilent Labs is shielded from public participation by a non-disclosure agreement.

As CEO I bootstrapped a web startup which built and deployed a browser based 3D social space product.
In my main project at PARC I took a description for a theoretical approach to heterogenous device interconnection and built a web scale toolkit which was subsequently licensed to Samsung Electronics.
I led the development of a new form of online news engine for a team of forward looking journalists. Technologies I used include Django, the LAMP stack, and third party APIs like Facebook and Twitter.
I led the effort to build a free and open platform for an online city for creative collaboration.
