About Me

I'm founder and CEO of Tizra, a company that helps publishers and other businesses slice, dice, and market information online even if it's currently trapped in printed books -- and that helps readers to search and use those books in their browser. We offer a hosted service that lets our customers control their online information sales, branding, and distribution themselves, soup to nuts.

I'm a Providence geek, with a personal bias to LISP and high-level programming languages. I did my doctoral research on collaborative text editors that don't lock anything, and allow fully offline work. In the past, I've taught Document Engineering at Brown, and worked on electronic art projects.
