Since teaching myself how to write code in grammar school, I've worked on a bunch of startups, and recently cofounded Amoeba Consulting (http://amoe.ba), a software design and development firm focused on early-stage startups. I have a passion for bringing new ideas to life as well as building awesome teams and improving development process. I also have significant web, scaling, and big-data experience, and have consulted for startups and Fortune 500s in the New York and San Francisco areas for over a decade. When I'm not building software, I work on several non-profit projects including Hack the Future, a quarterly Hackathon that teaches and inspires kids to code, solder, and build things.
