I’ve been a web consultant for more than 10 years developing primarily in Java environments but also 2 years in Rails and a year in the early days of VB. I’ve created storefronts, email, and HR systems in Rails and inventory, project, HR, partner programs, and product and issue tracking systems in Java.

I would love to see a more open, trusting, and trustable environment both on the internet and in real life. Also a more flexible and adaptable lifestyle than the employee-mindset most of us have gotten used to over the years.

Who can you trust? Why?

I am extremely interested in the social aspects of the web, but am very cautious about privacy, data retention and usage, and what we can actually call our own in the digital and physical worlds. I don’t trust Google (and refuse all google-analytics requests), nor any other ISP that says they own all of our emails, preferences, and appointments.
