About esseeayen

Technology Evangelist, Expert in Sales and Business Development, Passionate about Innovative Start-Ups.

I am a serial entrepreneur, engineer, and maker through and through. Founded several businesses as well as being an advisor to several companies. Self-confessed gadget obsessed has single-handedly IoT-enabled his whole household and knows what power it can provide, and what parts are missing, and decided to start a company to make them.

Prior to working in the startup world, I started in Bioinformatics and Drug Design and Development, working as a cancer researcher. This brought me into sales and business development for one of the world's top Biotech firms (Biorad).

I also started a new IoT internet connected devices company, TimeChi, where they are making an internet connected productivity timer, to help you work faster, smarter and most of all, better!

    Wait does this mean that the EU will also prevent the USB-if from charging licensing fees? Or is someone in the EU getting some kickbacks?

    I don’t agree with the Big O notation question as useless to know. I once had a programmer that had come from marketing background who taught himself to code. Could get things star…

    Just out of curiosity are iPhones sold at a loss? From recollection they aren't. In most consoles the console itself is a loss leader for software sales so it wouldn't be a good di…
