Currently, I am directly responsible for the innovative ideas and future direction of the social commerce company ShopIgniter. Working closely with the technical expertise of the development and product teams, those ideas are turned into reality.
In my spare time I enjoy racing Porsche’s all over the Pacific Northwest with the Where2Race / XYO Racing autocross team.
One of the best parts of being a founder at a venture backed start-up is that I can help other founders with the knowledge that I picked up through the years. Here are a few companies that are currently getting some help:
I spent a good 4 hours tonight deep in PHP for where2race.com. A new API integration, an Amazon web service and a total rewrite on a cron job. I know it sounds super geeky, but it was a blast! The site is faster and the changes make using it so much easier. I miss writing code sometimes so I am glad to be able to keep my skills sharp on these personal projects.
