Dave Jackson received his bachelor’s and master’s in computer science from Brown University and swiftly moved to Silicon Valley where he has worked in the software industry for over 20 years. He’s worked for Oracle, Yahoo, and NASA Ames Research Center, as well as a few startups, and finally set out on his own to freelance. Without meaning to, his freelancing turned into working with friends and finally reincarnated into Green Mars Consulting, Inc., supporting startups in medical device software, e-commerce, and back-office supply chain management. When Dave isn’t working (which is rare), he is raising two daughters and attempting to squeeze in fiction writing.
