About me

Last time: I'm on the board of NYCC as "Webmaster". This year I'm running for Director of Technology. For a single reason: to improve the club's website. Read it here.

I've spent thirty-plus years building digital systems in finance, payments, and insurance: systems that serve more than 100,000 users and move or manage billions of dollars. I've have done the work as a developer, QA tester, product manager, UX designer, site reliability engineer, co-founder & CTO, and VP of engineering. I mention this as a means of estabilishing my bona fides; I've been doing this kind of work for a while and have deep and broad experience doing so.

My participation in the club

I've been riding with NYCC for about five years, with a year off for an aging knee. As a volunteer I have:

1. For Escape New York 2025, helped plan the routes (Strava/RWGPS) and was Piermont stop bike mechanic
2. For the new volunteer rewards site, set up login and enabled the site to run on NYCC's domain
3. For Escape New York 2026, built eny.nycc.org
4. Built an alternative version of the new website. See it at tools.nycc.org
5. Submitted the motion (passed unanimously), to create a D-Rides coordinator
6. Submitted the motion (passed by a thin margin), to survey members on the new site
7. And I've led the occasional ride too
