FULL BIO
In early 2008 I left PayPal Inc. after contributing 2 years to founding and growing the Phoenix development branch from a team of 5 engineers to several dozen separate teams. Having spent much time between Phoenix and Silicon Valley, I moved on in pursuit of a my previous startup Arkayne. I've since moved on from Arkayne, with many more lessons learned, as part share holder I'm looking forward to where the company will go.
In the past few months I've worked on Groupit, a group gifting site as well as AwareLabs, a small business marketing platform.
