As an innovation event producer I have established world class hackathon events and created self-sustaining communities with thousands of members that continue to have major global impact. As an innovation consultant and product-focused software engineer I've held multiple positions at Internet ventures, startups, consulting firms, and companies ranging from mid-size to Fortune 50. I've been responsible for product and code development and management in all of those jobs, and made significant contributions to vision, direction, and innovation at each of those companies.
