Joseph Hsieh joe(AT)sometrics.com’s Summary

I have a web-dev ju-jitsu and a business black belt!

Experienced web guru with a keen sense of the business perspective and deliverables. Convert business requirements into a manageable scope/plan and not afraid to roll-up the sleeves to get hands-on in the development process (including coding!).

Passionate about translating business opportunities into tangible returns utilizing technology and the internet with P&L responsibility.

Current industry focus is in social media, social networking platforms (Facebook, OpenSocial, etc), analytics, and long-tail monetization methods (CPC, CPM, CPA, and Affiliate models).

Operation experience in managing and building large-scale websites with multi-server environments across all technical disciplines (developers, qa engineers, system engineers/admins, support engineers, customer service, remote/offshore workers).

I build organizations that pass "The Joel Test." (Google It) That means, identifying not only the people but establishing a productive and "infectious" corporate culture that is fanatical about our vision and product.

When it comes down to it; I subscribe to the famous words by Occam's razor:
"entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_Razor)

Loosely translated to: "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."
