My Job:
I'm a Product Vision Consultant, specializing in mobile apps. You can read more about my services at Nuclear Elements.
Mini-Resume:
In 2010, I hired and managed Android and iPhone developers for Mutual Mobile and my own firm Nuclear Elements. One of my projects is Tarot for iPad.
From 2008 to 2009, I mostly made iPhone apps. The highlight was working with Roger von Oech to create the Creative Whack Pack (which was featured by Apple) for the iPhone.
In 2006 and 2007, I was a video game designer for Aspyr, working on expansions for The Sims.
In 2004, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Mathematical and Computational Sciences from Stanford. During my stay there, I was also recognized as a President's Scholar.
In the late 1990s I was a web designer. After winning a $20,000 "Design Award" scholarship from Adobe, I appeared in the Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, and on CNN. I hosted my own TV mini-series in San Diego and spoke on a panel with John Kerry.
