Thanks for stopping by today. I’m Ken Yarmosh, founder of savvy apps, an O’Reilly author, and entrepreneur based in the DC area.
My Little Corner of the Web
Although I’ve been blogging (and writing) prior to there even being “blogging software,” I started this site (originally at technosight.com) in mid-2005. It served then, as it does now, as a place to share my thoughts on digital technologies. I’ve reinvented it several times since then and the focus has shifted, based on my personal and professional interests. I expect that trend to continue.
Profession
Over the course of my career, I’ve created amazing digital experiences with a diverse set of clients ranging from some of the biggest personalities in media to the hottest tech startups. As the founder of savvy apps, my current focus is on the mobile market and creating apps but I’ve been working in the digital space for over a decade. If you want to launch an awesome mobile experience on the iPad, iPhone, Android, or other mobile platform get in touch.
My specific expertise comes from more than a decade of hands-on technology experience, as well as academia, where my focus was on entrepreneurship, technology management, and more generally, the Web and Internet (B.A. in Computer Science from Boston College; M.S.E. in Telecommunications and Networking from the University of Pennsylvania).
I’ve been actively engaged in advising technology-based startups since 2005. My previous startup Clickable was acquired by Syncapse in June 2012. I have no other investments to disclose at this time.
Writing
I plan to write many more books but I’m proud of my first one, App Savvy: Turning Ideas into iPhone and iPad Apps Customers Really Want (O’Reilly).
Beyond my book and the large archive I have on this site, I have been published at Top 50 Blogs including Mashable, GigaOM, and ReadWriteWeb, as well as more traditional outlets like RealClearPolitics and UX Magazine.
