About

About humanizing technology through research, community and participation. This is my personal log of ideas, projects, and other bits of bytes -my dumpster of crazy ideas. My background is with programming, web, 3D and video production. I hack software and build communities, enjoy connecting, sharing ideas, martial arts, visual arts, music, extreme sports, beer, travel and many other things.
I am passionate about People, Ideas, Stories, Video and Technology. I have been leading community building and development of web technology projects for over a decade. Today I lead Community Building and Developer Relations at Kaltura.
I was born into the web, modding was how I started software development and online forums/communities were my [in]formal community education. I love giving back and sharing ideas and enjoy open discussions. You’ll often find me chat about psychology and human nature, technology, collaboration, open source, linked-data (and connecting ideas), art and the future of communication and education.
I have delivered speaking engagements and sessions at the following conferences - Orielly OSCON, ACM Multimedia, Open Video Conference, 360Flex, JAndBeyond, and many more.
Speaker, Developer Relations, Community & Business Development, Marketing, Product, Research, Hacking.
Video Artist by heart, Community Builder by day, Developer at night.

A few words by wiser men -
“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”
- Albert Einstein
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
- Steve Jobs
“A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.”
- Benjamin Franklin
