Looking for Ye Olde Fryolator?
I enjoy working with smart, pleasant people to build interesting, useful software. I've been building web applications since the 1830s and have a particular interest in social software.
Co-founder of Entelo, where we're building powerful tools to help companies find talent.
In August 2009 my language-oriented social network, Wordie.org, was acquired by Wordnik.com, where I was responsible for the web site, among other things.
I worked for Interactive News Technology, a small group of developers working directly in the New York Times newsroom to build tools and applications for and in conjunction with reporters and editors.
Designed and built Wordie.org, a collaborative social dictionary and the preeminent (and only!) social network for logophiles. The site was covered by TechCrunch, Wired, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and many others.
Designed and built CalenTweeter.com, for Tweet scheduling, management of multiple Twitter accounts, and Google Calendar integration.
Co-founded and built Squirl.info, a social cataloging site for collectors..
Designed and built TagsAhoy.com, a cross-service tag search engine.
Other projects include Testeroni, a site for making and taking tests, BucketHead, a Ruby gem for interacting with Amazon S3, and YellowCard, a comment moderation plugin for WordPress.
Developer at LibraryThing.com, a social cataloging site for bibliophiles.
I led the team building the backend for www.whoi.edu, and also did scientific programming to help serve WHOI's unique research needs.
Consultant for the professional services division of an enterprise CMS software vendor, leading teams of developers from initial requirements gathering through post-launch and maintenance.
Developer for a Spanish and Portuguese-language portal site.
Designed and built database-backed sites for the Columbia Journalism Review, the Pulitzer Prizes, and the duPont Awards.
Reporter for the News Review, an English-language newspaper in Santiago, Chile.
