He founded SPAZSTIK SOFTWARE, steering strategy and building iOS and Android apps (StackCalc, SPZTracker) alongside Java and Ruby on Rails web platforms deployed on AWS. Prior to founding his company he spent over a decade at Westell advancing broadband and home-cloud products, managing patent strategy, and architecting Amazon EC2–based management systems.
