From some time in 2006 or 2007 on into 2015 I served as Director of Information Technology at SparkFun Electronics, an electronics and education startup in Boulder, Colorado. This role was more like CTO where I was responsible for all IT infrastructure as well as all software development for the ecommerce platform and ERP system.

In this role I also spent time working with the open source community, preparing and presenting talks at conferences around the world, and occasionally writing about any and all of these experiences in guest spots for the SparkFun home page blog. Below are some of my writings there from over the years.
