Ralph Perrine’s Summary

I have 17 years experience in the technology industry, coming up through the ranks as a software developer and serving in team leadership positions. Experience includes a range of company types and sizes, international projects and ventures (primarily in Asia), vendor management, technology team development and business planning.

My book "America 2076: Pop Technology and the New Future of Democracy" describes (and forecasts) the transformational impact social computing is having on American political processes. More recently, I published the 2007 Calendar: "12 Drawings That Will Change Your Life". More info at ralphperrine.com.
