Took Arkayne, Inc from concept to implementation by summer of 2008. Joined with current CEO, Nicholas Aretakis, and pitched to Arizona Technology Investment Forum by early 2009. We assembled basic startup team and raised a 2 year runway by summer 2009. By fall of 2009 were engaging first customers and moving up PR and marketing efforts.
As CTO, I am responsible for managing the development team. I also coordinate all cloud computing resources and provide guidance on emerging technology in our space. Like any startup, Arkayne, Inc. requires that I wear many hats, I contribute wherever I’m needed.
Its been an exciting project thus far, we are fortunate to have a great Phoenix, AZ based team and very smart angel investors. I’ll try to update our blog on a regular basis to keep everyone up to date.

Cloud Computing Changing Social Space
The ability of people to spread their content is not even close to their ability to generate it yet. Even today Twitter, FaceBook, Youtube, and RSS feeds barely keep up with the millions of people writing, photographing, and recording new content by the second. Whats the next revolution that will enhance online content distribution? I’m betting everything that I’ve guessed right.
As a blogger myself I’ve spent more than my fair share of time trying to get my ideas in front of an interested audience. Which got me thinking about the ideal way to disseminate content across the web. What if I could not only get my audience interested in my blog but pull in my audience’s audience as well?
The above wasn’t really scalable or possible until recently, with the advent of cloud computing that’s quickly changing. Problems that were too big or too intensive to solve in the past are now becoming trivial tasks, this is changing the way we can access, recommend, and distribute online content in ways never considered feasible just three years ago.
This presentation is about how cloud computing will change the organic nature of the web and how we interact with content and people online.


Is this an idea to improve how I share things I see online (more so than those “Share” buttons you see on articles)?
