Expertise

I can answer all questions about converting online, timing purchases, buying and selling online, etc. I cannot answer questions specific to some websites that I haven't used extensively.

Experience

I have been working in ecommerce for over 10 years. For the past decade, I've working in accounting and finance, as well as in technical roles. I think this gives me a unique perspective that will hopefully help visitors to this website.

Education/Credentials
Computer Science, University of Waterloo

Past/Present Clients
I own and operate these sites: AssembleMe - an information science blog, Shopobot - a shopping comparison service, CodeCodex - a code sharing wiki.
