I work at BabyCenter as VP of Engineering. BabyCenter is the premiere online destination for pregnancy and parenting from e-mail to articles to community. I lead the engineering team providing innovative solutions, developing new features and expanding how we serve Moms around the world. I came to BabyCenter via the acquisition of a social network startup called Maya's Mom.

Previously I worked at CNET Networks as a consultant on the Haystack storage project, which was a massive storage solution for the Webshots photo sharing site, plus the new AllYouCanUpload service.

Prior to that I worked at E*TRADE Financial for 7 years in various roles, which probably could be summed up as Creative Solutions Provider. I worked in the Architecture group and worked on problems such as site scalability and performance, converting the data center from Solaris to a Linux platform as well as internal systems and just about anything else that needed to be done.

Some times I create art, mainly photography but never as much as I wish. Unfortunately my technology and managing skills are desired a lot more than my photography skills, which I'm not sure if that's a compliment to my business abilities or an insult to my creative ones. Or society is just skewed.

I hope you enjoy my site.
