Abraham Murray’s Summary
Entrepreneur and high tech generalist with six years of experience in the industry as company founder, project leader and individual contributor. In addition, I am a private developer, producing software for personal and entrepreneurial use.
As an entrepreneur, I had an early education, captaining a commercial fishing vessel and leading a mussel farming aquaculture company from a young age. Recently graduated from Harvard Business School, where I founded a novel web 2.0 company with a fellow classmate. Currently off to Google!
My dream is to perform challenging work with smart people I respect. I want to build real businesses and create jobs and value in this world. I want to more than pull my own weight.
