Jim Curran

Partner, Co-founder

Jim co-founded NYLON in 1997 and personally built the majority of our early projects. Today, he oversees business operations to ensure projects are run smoothly and continue to exceed our clients' expectations. He has an open door policy for employees and clients and is involved with all projects that have complex business processes, data migration, database architecture, and/or hosting environment requirements.

After years of working summers hands-on at his father's metal working factory in Long Island, Jim chose to study Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University. Upon receiving his first top-of-the-line computer (a Pentium 133, 16MB RAM, 120 MB Hard Drive—wow!), he became interested in the Internet and switched his attention from mechanical engineering to web programming. In 1995 he co-founded the Columbia University Used Book Emporium, an online book exchange for Columbia students. Two years later he co-founded Nylon Technology, building his father's company website as the first official NYLON project. Jim is a co-inventor of Patent 7,287,227: a System and Method for Editing Web Pages in a Client/Server Architecture.

Outside of work Jim enjoys spending time with his wife and son boating on the Long Island Great South Bay during the summers and skiing during the winters.
