Will Jessup’s Summary

2007- Founded CitrusByte LLC, (www.citrusbyte.com). We deliver the technology behind successful web ventures. In less than a year I grew the company to the largest Ruby on Rails (web application development technology) agency in Los Angeles and also opened an office in Buenos Aires. The company is a mix of services and internal product development. Our first product is currently in closed beta. I also organize the LA web app dev meetup group (http://web.meetup.com/34) which has over 500 members.

2006 - Co-founded Kevo.com, a one-stop site for all information about people. co-wrote the business plan, raised angel capital, hired a tech team, developed the site on Symfony-project (php, mysql), evangelized the site. Site has grown to more than 100k/uniques/month. My role with Kevo now is the senior technical advisor.

2005-2006 - Tech Producer @ THE_GROOP (thegroop.net). Joined a design shop to head up their technology department. Went through my paces with management, programming, project management, etc. Met some great people whom I still work with.

2004-2005 - GameMethod.com. Thought I'd give a shot at making a great online gaming media site. I began writing articles and managed to make enough off adsense to pay for on-going site development. Hired one writer and half-dozen volunteers who cranked out nearly 2500 articles / posts in the first year. Learned to choose to pick which business I go into since the site never generated any profit after tons of effort.

Education - B.S. Physics, Cal Poly Pomona. Graduated 05'. Lots of studying.
