I’ve always been fascinated by great communicators: Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Winston Churchill… Great leaders tend to be masters at it – instilling a sense of purpose, distilling complex topics into simple terms, rallying individuals to achieve the impossible.

Although still very busy with the move from San Diego to Palo Alto I’m slowly but surely finding time here and there to code. Right now, working on finishing the in app purchase view for Starlight.
