Who Am I?

You can't do any better than following me on Twitter or reading my postings on MSDN. If you are a friend and don't think seeing my New Years Eve Stair Diving videos will change your opinion of me (it will) you can add me on Facebook.

Biography

In 2001, with the European Union switching to one currency called the Euro, I worked with France Telecom, living in Paris, France, to develop the first international money transfer service, Minutepay.fr, before PayPal could enter the marketplace.

In 2002 I started The Planning Studio Inc., a startup focused on developing web-based networked collaboration technologies for urban planning and communityThe Planning Studio development corporations to help them in their mission to serve the community, since many non-profits lack the resources to build their own infrastructure. It starred Sean Bender from University of Cincinnati, Susan Winterberg from Harvard University and myself.

In 2008 I joined Microsoft in their BPOS R&D division to help build the next platform for Microsoft business and consumer applications. This includes Microsoft Office Online, Microsoft @EDU, Exchange Server, and much more. If you are interested, try it out for yourself.
