Summary
With over 30 years of industry experience, I am a seasoned Web Architect. I've written several books on software development and am a regular keynote presenter on the international software conference circuit. I offer a unique combination of leadership and technical training skills. At Yahoo, I taught the entire front-end development staff about mobile HTML5 web development for iPhones and Androids. I've lead teams that shipped Smart TV web apps on Samsung TVs. Most recently, my focus has been on Conversational UIs (Siri, Alexa, et al) and multisensory development with an emphasis on digital accessibility.
