John Young’s Summary

Polymath Internet enthusiast, technologist, and development manager. Broad experience from small, award-winning boutique sites to large, award-winning Fortune 100 deployments.

I keenly believe in the role of competent, efficient, and informed middle management as the axis around which business turns. No, I'm not kidding.

My personal projects have been BoingBoinged (seven times), Springwise-d (twice), have appeared in MAKE, ReadyMade, Wired, Newsweek, the New York Times, and a handful of lad-mags.
