Who are you?
I’m Patrick. I’ve been interested in technology since as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve applied this interest into solving business problems, largely in the context of Internet-based businesses.
What do you do?
I’m at my best when creatively solving problems with smart, open minded people.
What have you done before?
Lead dev for a photo-licensing platform, donation platform, paypal.com homepage, bespoke cryptocurrency (Ethereum) apps.
2015-today: software strategic consulting
2012-15: developing private apps and advising clients in NYC. This excellent project is still going strong. Depending on the client, development was typically performed in the Rails & JavaScript ecosystem, or for clients with existing investment in the Microsoft stack, C#/.NET.
2010-12: Bespoke interactive digital media experiences for clients in different sectors
2008-9: Digital forensics
2006: Microsoft in Redmond
Vintage samples of my web development work from 2004-2012 can be found here.
Previously, I’ve worked in computer forensics, researched user experience and eye tracking, and volunteered in Japan following the Tsunami of 2011 – involving both really hard work, as well as awesome things.
