I’m Founder & CEO of EKR Media, LLC (and subsidiaries Tabla, Terra, and Texta) which is developing a next-generation iPad & web publishing platform to reinvent the way we read books, enable reinvention of knowledge, and stay up-to-date on advancements of subjects of interest to us on web & iPad. I’m exploring new ways for authors to communicate with readers, developing new paradigms for corporate communication, and inventing ways to communicate academic research. The publishing platform features a revolutionary web-based editor for instantly creating books without any coding instantly.
I consult organizations and individuals on web design & development, internet marketing, search engine optimization, social media optimization, and mobile marketing to create and improve their web presences. I’ve helped authors build a following online, consulted non-profits on building an affordable web presence, and designed web sites for university research centers.
I am a co-founder of the iGiki Exchange which is developing a digital wallet product based on digital currencies and Chief Technology Officer of 1WordPix which is developing a simple way to share photos with friends on the iPhone.
At Wharton I am studying for a Bachelors of Science in Economics with a concentrations in Technology Management (Individualized), Operations & Information Management, and Finance and am Chief Technology Officer of the Future of Advertising Project in the SEI Center for Advanced Studies in Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, on the Wharton Leadership Ventures Undergraduate Advisory Board, Vice President of Digital Publishing for Wharton International Business Review, and on the Wharton Interactive Media Group board.
At age 14, I founded iGiki, which released the world’s first 3rd party iPhone web applications before the iPhone was even released. My iGiki games were featured in PC World, Chicago Tribune, Wired, Newsday, and Mac|Life. I also released the first iPhone finger stylus.
I hold 3 United States provisional patents related to a method of distributing iPhone web applications on physical media, a technology to make an iPhone stylus more effective, and a participatory, interactive, and curated publishing platform.
I’ve also worked for Prime Visibility, an internet marketing and search engine optimization firm, where I promoted clients ranging from family-owned businesses to Nielsen Business Media on the interactive and social medias.
