You make great things happen.

But, seriously, in my head, you are one of the few who knows both the technical and emotional side of things. You develop the goods (websites and website-related programming), and can sell them to the customer without needing a non-technical interpreter… and vice a versa, actually.

Is that what you were looking for?

Paul Says:

You present yourself very well. One thing that’s apparent to me, you’re all about your work and the end product. Never about the money or complaining about the work.

It’s an interesting question you’re posing too. I always wonder what people think I do. Problem is, it keeps changing!

you rock the boat. in a good way. keep us moving forward.

Ryan Says:

To be completely honest… I have no idea.

I thought you did front end UI stuff for TIG, and ran your own shared hosting business. But from the looks of some of your previous post it seems like you are doing more project management.

Pablohart Says:

What you do, or what you are striving for?

What you do is cast visions, challenge the status quo, point out the obvious and occasionally piss people off.

What you strive for is excellence, innovation, and to be known as someone who made a difference in the world of the web. Deep down, you want to be famous.

Topher Says:

From a client perspective, it would appear that you primarily manage project acquisition. By that I mean you take a new client and educate them on what they NEED to accomplish what they WANT. Once that part was done you turned it over to another team to make it happen.

I’ve seen enough to know you CAN code, and that occasionally you DO code, but I don’t know if you do it for TiG

Brian Says:

I’m not sure exactly what it is you do, but I always find it pretty inspiring in some fashion or another. I inquired about an internship at TIG, maybe then I’d find out.

Here’s what I can tell from the outside: an outstanding knowledge of the technical, and the ability to express that to clients as well as those who don’t have the same understanding and experience.

We [my software engineering class] just went over this fact; CS majors and technical people are not like normal people. The hardest thing to do is to create software and websites that perform how the user perceives them not how we think they should work.

Summary: You manage sites, meet with clients, new product development, give speeches, and articulate the technical aspects of everything in simple terms for those can do not understand.
