I'm an Experienced CTO, Ask Me Anything

Highly recommend. Provided clear feedback and valuable insight into AI development.

Ian really does his own thinking. He has vision, talent and follow-through and is a great guy to work for. I hope our paths cross again someday.

Ian has been an inspired collaborator and serious influencer since we started our first company, Uprizer, seven years ago, all the way through our work together at Revver. His integrity, wisdom, vision and clear-mindedness about the 'way things work' have not only made him a trusted business partner, but a lifelong friend. It's a privilege to know him, and I give him my strongest recommendation.

Ian's technical and visionary brilliance has already been well documented for his numerous achievements, but what isn't as well known is just how down-to-earth and great to work with Ian really is. Not only was Ian was one of the first people I really felt comfortable working with at Revver, but he was also one of the first people I'd come to when I needed help troubleshooting a problem. Working with Ian was a great learning experience for me and I hope to have the chance to work together again some day soon.

Ian was solely responsible for the concept of Freenet, the most advanced practical peer to peer system in existance. He was able to bring together amazing talent from across the globe to implement it, and espouse its goals to both technology professionals and the enlightened public.

As a User Experience guy I am always interested in how to make technology work for us not against us. Ian's work on Freenet represents a major step change for freedom of information & a fresh look at how we transact & interact using distributed technologies.

Ian continues to challenge our preconceptions of how things "have to be" & long may that continue.

Ian left the United Kingdom for the US, where Uprizer was founded around concepts from the Freenet Project. His deft guidance brought engineering talent together in the business world creating arguable the most practical system applying peer-to-peer technology to solving bandwidth problems in the Enterprise.
