I am very passionate about combining innovative products, technologies and business models to create highly successful companies.
Presdo.com has been my passion for the last couple years, which has been to create consumer Internet products that have wide appeal to everyday users.

Prior to that, I was a co-founder at LinkedIn, where I served as its founding CTO and VP of Desktop products. I worked with a talented team to enable professionals to connect in fundamentally better ways with each other online. Not only did I create some core components of the service, I also led the desktop product team to create several successful desktop products that bring the value of LinkedIn closer to users' everyday. I helped the company achieve a rapidly-growing user base and profitability.

 Currently building the future of small business accounting & bookkeeping, focusing on self-employed individuals, with Outright.com

Experience launching web services, desktop software, email platforms and advertising server systems. Strong background in user-centered research, interaction design techniques, product management and agile product development processes.
