CEO
williejackson.com
2006 – Present (6 years) Greater New York City Area
Started as a class project in 2006 and eventually serving as the hub of my freelance and consulting work.
It's largely a test bed for technologies I'm toying with, a billboard for my web performance engineering (it's fast!), and a sounding board for my thoughts on business, marketing, and being human.
Publishing industry
January 2011 – July 2011 (7 months) Greater New York City Area
The Domino Project is named after the domino effect—one powerful idea spreads down the line, pushing from person to person.
The Project represents a fundamental shift in the way books (and digital media based on books) have always been published.
Eventually consisting of a small cadre of stellar authors, this is a publishing house organized around a new distribution channel, one that wasn’t even a fantasy when most publishers began.
