My Job:

I do project management and hiring for Mutual Mobile.


Mini-Resume:

So far in 2010, I've been continuing to hire and manage iPhone and Android developers for Mutual Mobile.

From 2008 to 2009, I worked on a lot of different projects, from freelance graphics programming for an MMO, to making iPhone apps, to technology advising. The highlight was working with Roger von Oech to create the Creative Whack Pack 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.
