Personal Story
30+ years building the Internet — and on it.
From the earliest days of the web through infrastructure, marketplaces and video platforms all the way to investor and corporate communications: a more personal look at the stations that shaped me.
- 1993 – 1998/01
Developer when the Internet came to the world
Started 30+ years ago as a software developer right when the public Internet was born — shipping early websites, CGI scripts and the first generation of online services.
- 1998 – 2002/02
Building Point-of-Presence infrastructure
Designed and rolled out PoP infrastructure — racks, routing, peering and the physical backbone that brought the early Internet to businesses and regions.
- 2000 – 2005/03
Early startups — marketplaces & local commerce
Co-built an eBay clone, a mytys-style platform and cojac.net — a community for local shopping via Google Maps, long before 'social commerce' or 'local discovery' had names.
- 2006 – 2010/04
zaplive.tv — live UGC video platform
Built zaplive.tv, a user-generated live video platform in the spirit of Facebook Live and YouTube Live — years before either existed at scale.
- 2008 – 2012/05
wam.tv — self-publishing for musicians
Created wam.tv, a platform empowering musicians to self-publish — distribution, audience and monetization in one stack, well before today's creator economy.
