I'm a technologist and entrepreneur specializing in Internet infrastructure and next generation mobile web.
As a co-founder of Moji Labs, a mobile widgets startup, I have amassed vast insights into all aspects of the mobile Internet. Prior to MojiPage, I worked as a senior software engineer in NeuStar's DNS registry operations group, doubling up as an i18n architect and advisor on technical and policy issues involving IDN.

I'm currently residing in Sydney.

This has been my brainchild for the past half a year or so, and represents a significant step forward for our registry in terms of internationalization. more»
