I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been hired by AuctionsByCellular (ABC) as Lead Web Developer. ABC is an exciting new company that uses people-powered technology to help charities improve their fundraising efforts. Not only will I get to do what I love (write lots of code), my efforts will actually help improve the world, so how awesome is that!

AuctionsByCellular specializes in mobile bidding for silent auctions at charity events. Not only have they built a great tech platform (which I will be helping build out), ABC has great event staff that help run the event. The way it works is that attendees of the charity event get a text when the auction starts, then bid on items from their phones (or can go to one of the ABC staff who have iPads). Charities love it!

If you are curious to hear more about my new place, there have been lots of articles about ABC in the press lately, including this article featuring my friend (and ABC CEO) Jim Alvarez.
