Canadian Entrepreneur. Product Guy. Tech Lead. Ruby, Rails, JavaScript chops. Past startup experience: Medeo, Sxip, Something Simpler, Globalmedia.com, Itv.net.
I've been a product manager for several consumer facing startups. I have experience in health and identity.
I've built more than a dozen Ruby on Rails applications. As well as using other Ruby frameworks like nanoc, Jekyll, and Sinatra. I've lead teams of Ruby developers to deliver brand-new products to market successfully several times. I care about code and build things to allow for future change.
At Sxip, Weston put out a constant stream of clean designs, insightful ideas and indefatigable optimism. If I was to put together a team, Weston would surely be a first-round draft pick.
You couldn't ask for a better boss or person to work for, a good communicator with a real understanding of people and the work environment, as more than just a work environment.
Weston was awesome to work with. He's extremely personable and friendly even in very stressful situations, understands and synthesizes complex technical concepts, and successfully juggles both the big picture and immediate results. What he and the team built at ZeD was years ahead of the curve (hello YouTube). I'd jump at the chance to work with Weston again.
