Currently helping, investing in early stage startups accelerate to the next stage. I love entrepreneurs and their DNA, and how they create healthy bacteria to grow better industries, economies, society. CTO / CPO role from back of napkin ideation to marketplace launch. Currently accelerating startups in healthcare, security, virtual economies.Delivered projects in the USA, UK, China, Japan, Germany, France, and India. Managed small and mid-size teams; mix of direct reports, vendors, interns, dotted line. I've built great teams and culture - at times recruiting and bringing together exceptionally rare talent - to make significant gains in how technology can improve our lives. When I'm not working on startups my time is dedicated to teaching at a local education institutions on entrepreneurship x computer science x social impact. Teaching young people how to start ventures and code is soul filling but I also believe this expands the innovator pool by bringing fresh ideas and new perspectives to very hard problems.My mission is to expand the innovator pool; create value at scale by helping people, groups, and communities realize their full potential.
