General

First and foremost I am an entrepreneurial technologist. I am passionate about leveraging existing technologies and inventing new technologies to solve business problems.

I'm a strong advocate of OSS (Open Source Software) and have been a Linux user, administrator and developer for 10+ years. For the past 7 years, most of my personal computers (servers and desktop) have been Linux machines running RedHat (or Fedora) for the first four years, then switching to Ubuntu about three years ago. I've consistently pushed my employees and departments to switch to Linux/OSS solutions (when possible) in order to reduce costs and encourage open access to information.

I am especially interested in web technologies and e-commerce. In recent years I have specifically focuses on integrating the following into the web:

Computer vision
Geographic information systems
Street level data
Augmented reality
Large file distribution
Peer-to-peer
Application redundancy
