FULL BIO


I have experience with website development and an avid interest in developing successful internet startups. I am young, 23, and looking to network with people who have a similar interest in web entrepreneurship. I have spent the last few years gaining insights into the modern business structure of the internet as well as developing outsourcing methods that can be used to successful outsource work in order to keep costs low for developing internet startups. I make use of open source software whenever possible and am very supportive of these communities.

I am analytical and business minded by nature, I believe that having a good understanding of technology is important to succeed in this business, also knowing how to properly source work to people who are experts in a particular area is also important for success in a large scale project. I have recently taken an interest in cloud computing as I believe it is something that can enable startup companies to start with a lower budget than previously possible and to scale hardware resources very quickly while not having to make a long term investment. I have an account with Amazon Web Services and believe that this is currently the best platform for cloud computing and that anyone who is involved in a startup should be making use of this service.

I currently have an internet startup of my own, which is an outsourcing provider company that is still in the very early stages, (TeleCommuteReview.com), which involves using virtual desktops to have employees from abroad work remotely so that they can be monitored and managed in a way that is more like an "in-person" work environment.

I have varying degrees of experience with:
- Drupal Website Development
- Internet Marketing (including SEO and paid campaigns)
- Traffic analysis
- Writing
- Graphic design
- Outsourcing
- Cloud computing
- Amazon Web Services
- Working in a Linux development environment

I am also interested in social entrepreneurship.
