Jim has been an active participant in blockchain for several years. At one point, he even used Bitcoin to purchase real products, thinking it was "neat". In retrospect, this wasn't so neat. Previously, Jim was the head of engineering at Mylestone, a company he co-founded in early 2016. Before Mylestone, Jim led the research and development of patent-pending skill recommendation algorithms at Pluralsight. He joined Pluralsight in 2014, following the acquisition of Smarterer, a machine learning-based skill assessment company. At Smarterer, Jim was an early engineer who built advanced machine learning technology and enterprise software adopted by Fortune 100 companies. Jim's passion for building extends to the broader startup community through his developer event series, Stack Dive, and as an angel investor to several local startups, including AdHawk and LinkSquares. In another life, Jim developed advanced models to quantify risk and abnormal returns in the market for Financial Transmission Rights, a type of energy derivative.
