Professional Mini-Resume:
In 1998, I won a $20,000 "Design Award" scholarship from Adobe for an entry in a web design contest. The site was titled EgyptWorld, and I collaborated with a programmer from Texas and a writer from Germany.
During those crazy dot-com days, as a young web designer, 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.
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 2006 and 2007, I was a video game designer for Aspyr, working on expansions for The Sims.
In 2008, I worked on a lot of different projects, from freelance graphics programming for an MMO, to making iPhone apps, to technology advising.
So far In 2009, I've been doing iPhone development and pet projects.
