How can I help you?

I do the following:

• I help companies deepen their customer relationships using the web and new media. In The Frank Family we turn your home page in to a dialog platform complete with your own social media editor.
• I help startups get started with a tool called Startup Garage. We also help companies turbo-charge their innovation by organizing “boot camps” or “hack days”.
• I develop web and mobile applications. I have experience from leading development teams and >10 years as a developer (Java/PHP/C++).

I also help Bootstrap Labs in San Francisco find interesting startups in Scandinavia.
