I am a software technologist, entrepreneur and a veteran of a number of internet startups. During the time of the first web browsers, I wouldn’t shut up about this new thing called the web. They finally let me build a prototype and so was born project webmapper which became project mapquest, and eventually mapquest.com.
I have also helped to build letter sorters, robotic work cells, the recipe database for Bon Appetit and Gourmet, large scale insurance sites, and remote equipment monitoring systems.
