I am a software developer and innovation enthusiast. But I believe even disruptive tech has to be thoughtful.
Over the years I have been involved in the early BBS scene, including writing my own software that was eventually networked to 11 sites, started Toronto's first ISP for individuals (Internex Online), was involved in numerous startups, and have worked and won awards in innovative health and government related projects (http://www.dataparc.com/projects).
Along the way I've met and worked with many people, and learned from success, failure and hard work.
I'm very keen on ground up developments, and believe it's something you have to participate in, not reinvent. I'm also very keen on the open web, built on the basis of clear protocols implemented by multiple players, as well as flexible, competitive and fair open source software and content.
