  2001 — 2001 (less than a year)

  My second 7-8 month stint at a handheld company. Initially hired to work on a web browser for the Treo and Edge. That project was cancelled, the next project was cancelled, and I eventually ended up being responsible for porting some pre-existing mobile phone AT command-set code from one radio chipset to another. Wasn't having fun…returned to Apple.

  • Lead software engineer for the MacPac v2 product (team of three engineers)
  • Responsible for architecture and implementation of the Macintosh HotSync (version 2) software for Palm
  • This was (approximately) an 8 month stint. Finished the product and returned to Apple.
  
  Note: this was a contract position (on-site at Palm). I was actually employed by Qualcomm during this time.

  • The Softsync subsidiary was acquired by "State of The Art, Inc" in 1992 and moved to Irvine, CA. I was responsible for providing technical information during the initial shopping and due diligence phases of the acquisition.
  
  Rather than move to Orange County (and continue to work on accounting software), I chose to join a couple of associates in creating a small Miami-based startup (SouthBeach Software).
