Founder of Post Formatter

I'm a software developer and entrepreneur with 15+ years of building for the web. I built Post Formatter after getting tired of pasting LinkedIn hooks into a Unicode converter and back. I write about the parts of LinkedIn that people actually get stuck on: analytics that don't add up, formatting the composer won't do, and what the numbers are really telling you.
