I have been fascinated by technology since my Commodore Vic 20, but, not believing it was really the right career for me, got my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Philosophy. Quickly finding my hobby to be my only lucrative skill, I started down a long and winding path through ebook production, home-made ERP system development, elearning authorship (as a writer and as a programmer), web development—from interactive marketing to online banking software, and, for the past many years, user experience prototyping—mocking up hardware and software to envision, design and even test next-generation cross-channel experiences.
My current mission: designing and manufacturing safe, smart, comfortable, short-term housing for those displaced from their homes by disasters—natural and political—as technology director at Reaction, Inc.
