As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.’

Finally sorted out my e-mail ordeal. If you sent something and I have not replied, I probably lost that e-mail. Feel free to ping me again!

What’s with all the restaurants and coffee shops remembering what I ordered previously? It gets pretty annoying, I wonder if there’s a strategy to this though.

Hi, my name is Leon...
I am a Founder/CEO of a company (stealth mode), a partner of a retail outlet, and I do a bit of technology consulting on the side.
I am a lone wolf but I can work effectively in any kind of team--I just prefer less bureaucracy so I can focus on getting actual work done. I am confident that I can implement anything you can envision in the web 2.0 world. I am extremely skilled in UX/UI design and implementations, general web development using my framework of choice: Ruby on Rails, and building scalable infrastructure to sustain application on Amazon Web Services.
I've come to a point where I've done almost all I could in the web 2.0 engineering world and I've shifted my passion recently. My passion is now in creating happiness and how to scale happiness. There are so many negative/narcissistic/psychopathic people and chronic liars I've worked with in my professional career that instead of allowing that energy to feed into myself I want to channel that energy back into a much more positive way.
How? I don't know exactly but I am working on it and trying to understand what happiness really is. In my personal blog, I will post snippets of things I can find around the web and eventually share my voice with you.
If you would like to contact me, please feel free!
