		<title>My background: a deeper dive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In every introduction to a potential client, partner, or other associate, the first thing I do is give a brief overview of my history. I know this is common in just about any business or social interaction, but its especially important in my line of work, since communicating my curriculum vitae is so critical to &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Ghosted! Why that potential developer stopped responding&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I usually like to keep my posts more positive-focused &#8212; here&#8217;s what you should do vs. here&#8217;s what you shouldn&#8217;t do. But this week alone I had three potential clients relay to me a very common experience: I thought I finally found a good developer, but then they suddenly just disappeared! I&#8217;ll admit its hard &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Technology after (and during) Coronavirus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the advantages (if you can call it that) of being in this industry as long as I have is that I&#8217;ve been through multiple economic disasters, technological paradigm shifts, and &#8212; it&#8217;s not all bad! &#8212; economic and technological boom periods. So I figured I might as well throw out a few predictions &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>My thoughts on: React Native and Firebase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had an increasing number of conversations over the past few weeks about both React Native and Firebase &#8212; mostly with non-technical founders who have been advised by those they trust that, before they embark on their app development, they should choose one (or both) of these technologies at the core of their stack. I &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>You&#8217;ve got a great idea! Here&#8217;s what to do next&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Big things start with a simple idea. But what I want to talk about today is how that simple idea grows bigger successfully. Specifically, I want to look at the very first step I believe all entrepreneurs should take before setting out to turn their grand vision into reality! The vast majority of projects I &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>First steps! What we build before we build&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a lot of non-technical founders setting out to build their product, it can be hard to understand just how much work needs to be done before you write a single line of code! In this post, I will break down much of the ground work that needs to be done by your tech team &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Launching smart &#8211; Graphite Comics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hands down the most terrifying phase of building a new tech startup is launch. So many pieces of a very complex puzzle have to come together at exactly the same time in exactly the right way for things to go right. If you&#8217;ve never gone through it, you may be wondering what on Earth I&#8217;m &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Graphite March update: efficiency vs. economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The March update of Graphite Comics just went live. It&#8217;s one of those updates that is very significant, with major changes under the hood &#8212; but which users will almost certainly not notice at all. This makes for an interesting opportunity to talk about balancing needs in software development. In this case, we are looking &#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Scrawl updated with new features!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve updated my social networking demo app Scrawl to include a couple often requested features &#8211; Universal links, email verification, and password reset. In addition, I&#8217;ve integrated Mailgun into the backend application in order to allow the server to send email messages to users (which is obviously a requirement for two of these features).

		<title>App development myths #2: The finished product</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this series of posts, I want to discuss several myths, misconceptions, and misunderstandings that threaten to derail inexperienced or non-technical founders of tech startups.&#160;&#160; Note: this post also appears on Glowdot with permission. In the beginning stages of planning an app development, there are two ubiquitous questions that get asked, and they are the &#8230;]]></description>
