My obsession with programming started at the age of 13 with my Commodore Vic 20. After spending just about every waking moment over the next 2 years trying to convince my Commodore 64 to cater to my every whim, I started working professionally as a software developer at 15. Over the last 25+ years, I have worked on just about every type of project in just about every language. Throughout the 90s I worked as a developer for a series of startups that were eventually purchased by large corporations whereby I would leave and start the process all over again. I have held the title of Senior Software Engineer at some of the biggest software companies in the world.

At the end of the 90s when the dot com bubble burst, I ventured out on my own and decided to make Clear Idea, my little pet company for side projects, a full time thing. With the help of some very awesome clients and some very dedicated team members, Clear Idea has passed the 10 year mark.

I am a partner in several tech startups which makes this a very exciting time for me.

I spend most of my time either writing software or thinking and reading about software and development processes.
