Why this blog: the road to silicon valley

The Road to Silicon Valley is a blog operated by Ernest Semerda (yap that’s me) and dedicated to sharing my journey in Silicon Valley startup life, culture, environment, tech scene and entrepreneurship.

Who is Ernest Semerda

I arrived from Sydney (Australia) back in early 2009 and have spent time working at a startup (coupons.com) which acquired the company I helped build in Australia. I like building stuff especially in Python & ObjC. I am a full stack software engineer and pretty much can speak & put my mind around end to end solutions. I am currently running a startup in the health care sector called medlert.com.

If you want to stay in touch I encourage you to follow me on Twitter and/or connect with me on LinkedIn.
