Twinkle Toes Software

• Greater Boston Area

• Founder and President

  • 2013 - Present

  I founded Twinkle Toes Software in 2013 on the belief that software products are most successful when the authors listen to and collaborate with their users. We're focused on being nimble - able to respond to change and adapt to challenges. Twinkle Toes primarily provides professional services to support Booked (previously phpScheduleIt), an extremely popular open source scheduling application of which I am the author and primary contributor. As president of Twinkle Toes Software, I have built a profitable business around this free, open source application. Collaborating with a team of developers from around the world, I've been able to continuously drive the popularity of Booked to one of the most successful open source scheduling tools on the market.
