VisualCV

Entrepreneur, architect, developer and then some. I started www.raveable.com in 2008 to help travelers find the best hotel for their vacation very quickly an very easily. Until Raveable, fellow travelers used to read lengthy reviews and jump from one travel site to another wading through a sea of conflicting information. Raveable makes clear and concise recommendations based on millions of reviews, ratings and opinions. In my role as CTO, I designed and developed the underlying semantic engine for analyzing guest reviews, defined the overall system architecture and helped manage the offshore development efforts.

Built a team on developers with sole focus on bringing social networking to millions of Windows Mobile phones.

Joined Windows File Services Group; worked in design and development of next generation Distributed File Systems Replication Service (DFS-R). DRS-R shipped in Windows 2003 R2. In addition I owned support and maintenance work for the legacy replication engine (FRS). Partnered with Product Support teams to improve the quality and customer satisfaction, by the end of 2003, FRS support calls dropped dramatically saving over 1M in annual support cost.
