I have been doing research, writing, and implementing technology for the TechCrunch Network since July 2006. I contribute primarily to TechCrunch and MobileCrunch. I’m a graduate of UC Berkeley with degrees in business administration, economics, and minor in computer science. After graduating, I worked in some odd jobs. I continued my college job with the Economic Development Alliance for Business (EDAB), Alameda County’s economic development agency, where, frustrated with the repetitive task of updating charts and graphs, I automated it with an ASP.NET program. Then, while contemplating law school and a technology related legal career, I worked for the executive compensation data provider Equilar.
