My career has taken me from software engineer to CTO to serial
entrepreneur and consultant.
These days I am a part-time inventor, part-time investor, and strategic advisory consultant. I also sometimes serve as interrim CTO, primarily with startups. I'm usually able to serve at below-market base compensation supplemented with an equity stake in the firm.
I'm available for consulting services, with a specific focus on tactics and strategy related to fund raising and business planning. Areas where I add value include:
- Crafting or refining a technical arctitecture
- Identifying and refing a business model
- Drafting or editing investor-focused documents and presentations
- Developing a fund raising strategy
- Interrim CTO
In 1995, EarthLink acquired my consulting firm, Beckemeyer Development (BDT.COM), and hired me as vice president of engineering. I served EarthLink Inc. for ten years, from 1995 to 2006, serving variously as VP Engineering, CTO, and VP R&D.
After leaving EarthLink, I founded TelEvolution, Inc. an Internet telecommunications firm with a patented platform that dramatically improves the economics of developing and delivering next-generation communications applications and services. TelEvolution provides the technology behind PhoneGnome, Voovox, Phweet, and other private-label VoIP brands and services.
Before joining EarthLink, I founded Beckemeyer Development (BDT.COM) in 1985. BDT.COM provided general Internet consulting and design engineering services, including Intranet design and implementation, security consulting, firewalls, intruder detection and response, and Internet integration.
