Long Story Short...
So, what does Frank Sikernitsky do? I guess the best way to explain it is: I love working with technology and how it relates to business and culture. I've been an engineer, inventor, investor, entrepreneur -- and yes a disruptor (apologies for the buzzword there).
As for experience, I've worked for several Fortune 500 companies, been part of a number of start-ups, developed some products, invented a few things, won a few awards, got a bunch of press, and owned alot of Legos (although my son now claims them). I started software company right of of college, and I've been building businesses ever since. I tried to make this site fun and engaging, rather than just dropping the resume into a web page.
But anyway -- close this box and go play with the stuff on the screen. Oh, and it works great on an iPad...

Welcome to my home page!
I'm an engineer, inventor, author, starter-upper, and a bunch of other things.
As you can see, I didn't follow the 'minimalist home page' crowd. Instead, here are some of my recent projects, on cards, and scattered around this page.
You can drag them around, and hit to flip the card for more info...
