I’d been hearing about Indie Hackers for a long time on the 'Startups for the Rest of Us' and 'Build Your SAAS' Podcasts. So I joined! What a great decision, wish I did it a year ago.

I come from a long background of self-driven startups. Sometimes with small teams, sometimes not. I've done quite a lot of full-stack development and product/business modeling over the years. I have built and run a web publishing business for games with 40-50M monthly visits, and been down in the trenches with ad tech. Lots of experience in UA/Growth/Fraud, and data mining. Worked on some really sweet AAA games, lots of terrible Indie Games, and have a secret passion for game tech. A lot of things I do cross over into game tech, even when it's not obvious ;)

The last few years I've been deep into interactive cinema technology and the voice-first world. I've been building voice-enabled applications and a few dozen Alexa skills, ranging from mundane to quite complex.

I also have a deep wealth of game tech background, and founded the Facebook Game Developers group.

I'm working on podcast tech, customer experience tech, and who knows what else!
