Passionate about startups, internet and media -- and areas where these intersect. I will fit best in small teams, companies that are fast-paced, build products and components as micro-services, and tend to use open source technologies.

Noting a lack of good open source screenwriting options, I rebooted the Blyte screenwriter with it's original author, and renamed it Trelby. I implemented major UI modifications, import/export of the industry standard FDX format and HTML, binary installers for Windows/Ubuntu, undo/redo logic for the custom Text control, scene navigator, PDF watermarking, smooth scrolling, and multiple bugfixes. Currently also working on building a user and developer community around the project and taking on the incumbents.
