Google Voice
Built and shipped the first Google Voice apps for Android and iOS. One prominent journalist called it the single best feature of Android.
iOS development
When Apple launched the app store, I started making silly apps in my spare time to learn iOS programming. iStrip got over over 500,000 downloads and became a top 10 app in many countries. Tokyoflash Japan sent me a cease and desist, because my app TokyoTime was inspired by their watches.

In 2007 I cold called Microsoft to see if Google could license their Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Two years later, after endless meetings, we signed a deal and launched push sync for Calendar, Contacts, and later Gmail, on iOS and Windows Mobile.

I worked with teams in London, Waterloo, and Mountain View to help Gmail go mobile. We built apps, and negotiated distribution with carriers and manufacturers.
Building a house
In 2006 we bought a 2 bedroom cottage in England. I designed the conversion into a 4 bedroom home myself in SketchUp, before handing it over to an architect. It took many years, because we were living in it most of the time (not recommended).

At the age of 15, I left Berlin to live with an American family in South Bend for one year. Before the Internet and without speaking much English, this was a huge adventure.
