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.

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.
