About

In 2007 I started my web career in web video, film and commercial production with a NYC based digital agency that was transitioning from interactive CDs to the new world of Web Apps. This was Oktane.

At Oktane, we built a lot of sites and made a lot of green screen videos. Additionally, I was able to research and build a number of video streaming sites and branded competitions, before Youtube took over. We worked with Blip.TV, Dailymotion and Vimeo to develop one of the first Vlogging plugins, called Purecast.

In 2011 I began developing a series of startups with co-founders in New York. We focused on the music industry and developed partnerships with Columbia Records and many bands and sports teams.

I also premiered portfolio website builder for Actors and Filmmakers it as a subscription service, like a Squarespace that you didn't have to learn. It just presented choices until you were done. We hosted the portfolios of over a hundred young talented artists and filmmakers for the next 8 years. Learning and iterating.

Meanwhile, I was working for ad agencies like T3 and Hunt Gather and clients like Varsity Tutors, Fred Astaire Dance Studios, Nadamoo, Ingram Micro and many others in Portland, Oregon and Austin, Texas. I starting mentoring with an Online Bootcamp. Got really into animation, babylon.js and 3D work. Study game engines every day, incorporating more of that knowledge into every web project.
