I ran an offshore datahaven in the North Sea in 2000-2002 (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.07/haven.html), worked in the Caribbean (Anguilla) to do open-source crypto before that (due to legal restrictions on US citizens, it was pretty complex; I could describe systems in "papers" but couldn't actually work on the production code), and was at MIT before that.

2003 I did some NFC payments stuff, consulting, and generally discovered the Bay Area, and 2007-2008 I worked for a bubblicious facebook app/ad network.

I spent 2004-2008 and 2008-2010 doing tech stuff in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar Bahrain, and some other countries. Very much less "tech" in the software sense, mainly satellite communications, some IP networking, lots of politics, logistics, and security.

Now I'm working on a tech startup in silicon valley which is about to launch, which is kind of a big change.

I kind of miss working outside the US, and on physical infrastructure instead of just software and networks.
