Founder

I cofounded a small consulting company with a Graphic Designer and a Web Developer. I built iPhone applications, using both Objective C/Cocoa Touch and Rails (for the server side).The three of us together believe that we can provide great value to a small number of clients. What makes us different from other companies is we all have different specialized skills. This gives us the ability to solve problems quickly. When everyone knows what their role is, we can build the best solution for a client with no overlap or wasted time.

Taxi Magic is a mobile start up that  provides booking and payment of taxi rides. Taxi Magic is trying to do for taxi booking what companies like Orbitz have done for air travel.They say one thing that is constant is change. Well, at Taxi Magic I embody that sentiment fully. For about 1.5 years I was a full time rails/js developer. After that I spent about 2 months doing QA. Since October 2008 I have been doing fulltime iPhone development. iPhone Development is awesome!In addition to developing Taxi Magic for the iPhone I also have a big role in steering and sometimes project managing the rest of our mobile offerings. This includes our WebOS and Android application. It has been a thrill to spend a little time thinking about how a company with a limited development budget can support as many people as possible.One thing I have learn at Taxi Magic is, respect whatever domain you are developing for. We are trying to revolutionize an industry, which is no small task. It is important to think about how 80% of people use taxis, and solve their problems first.

Sr. Software Engineer

This is where I cut my "real-world" teeth.  This is where I learned about http headers and sql injection. This is where I got a taste of what it feels like to make someones life easier.
