Gabriel Radic's Summary

We live in a time of mature technologies and emancipated users. We can and must create intelligent, elegant products and stop trying to please the proverbial Average Joe.

Specialties:

* Product Management. Old-school comprehensive functional specs, or new agile user stories and flexible backlogs.

* Web Design and Architecture. Simple hosted sites, or complex web applications and e-commerce.

* Desktop and Mobile App Design. I use and develop on Windows and OS X since they were DOS 5 and Mac System 7. I work with iOS, Android and WebOS since they exist.

* Online Publishing and Social Networks. Created and managed 100k-strong communities and hundreds of web sites.
