Experience Timeline

2001 to 2007

I started my career working as a software engineer for local development shops interfacing directly with clients to understand their problems and craft solutions that fit within their timeline and budget.

2007 to 2011

In 2007 with my wife out on maternity leave expecting our second child, I set out on my own as an independent IT consultant. Leading a small team of developers, I worked with both small local companies and large national agencies to develop custom CMS systems, eCommerce solutions, inventory management systems, online games, in-house email marketing systems and various data tools. During this time, I also developed the first HTML5 gaming platform called TapJS that provided hosting, leaderboards, badges and social integration for the then nascent HTML5 game development scene.

2011 to 2013

In 2011, TapJS was acquired by appMobi as a way to enhance its mobile development feature set by adding TapJS's engagement features, like player challenges and leader boards and also allow developers to integrate social elements to their games using the appMobi platform. As part of the acquisition, I joined the appMobi team to head up game development and gamification for mobile applications and I continued in that role until 2013 when appMobi was acquired by Intel.

2013 to 2019

Following the sale of appMobi to Intel, I was asked by the former appMobi founder to join him in his next venture called Wylei where I would take on the role as the Technical Co-founder. As the Technical Co-founder of Wylei, I worked with my fellow founding team members to successfully navigate several pivots, reaching product/market fit with our machine learning content solution for email. Using technologies such as NodeJS, AWS and MongoDB, I personally built the core of what is our main product that serves customers such as: Marriott, Adidas, Dell, La Quinta, Unilever and Hershey.

2019 to 2023

After successfully building the engineering team at Wylei, I transitioned over to a VC firm as their Venture Architect. I worked with the Managing Directors to turn their rough ideas into polished scalable solutions and was responsible for all technical aspects of each venture.

Today

After all these years, I am fortunate to continue to work with my clients, building great technology and strong relationships.
