An 80s kid who grew up watching the internet take its first steps, and traces a fascination with technology back to those early days online. The domain name industry feels a little like coming home -- the corner of the tech world where it all began. Spent several years as an independent consultant in business process optimization and automation -- and took from it a lasting interest in how complex operations actually run, and little patience for the ones that don't. Now heads Business Development at DENIC Services, DENIC eG's Anycast DNS & Escrow subsidiary designated by ICANN for registrars and approved for registries.
