Hi! ๐
I am the CTO and Co-Founder of Palmetto building a platform to enable renewable energy for everyone. If you are interested we are always looking for people to join our team!
I was the CTO for iStreamPlanet, where I revitalized the engineering team and launched a fully cloud-based live streaming platform that powers many of the online TV services you use today.
Before that, I founded and built a cloud computing platform that was acquired by CenturyLink and became their cloud platform.
I am an active investor and advisor that enjoys helping other founders such as Fons and Contrib.
๐ Scroll down to learn more about the ventures I am part of, twitter activity, open source projects, press, and latest blogs.
