I am a Web 2.0 software developer, marketer, and entrepreneur currently consulting as the Senior Software Developer at Wellness Heroes Inc., and Achilles Media. I also teach at Canada’s leading technology institute, Humber College.
I have a range of interests; everything from mathematics, science, technology, military, politics, economics, finance, business to philosophy, psychology, music, art, and nature intrigues me. I wish to learn and decipher as much as I can in as short an interval as possible. I like to hang out with friends when not dwelling amongst books or surfing the net; to that end, I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life.
