Software design & engineering
Now
I'm a software designer, engineer, and product leader in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Before moving back to the Bay Area in 2024 my wife and I spent a few years in Colorado hiking, skiing, cycling, and exploring the Rocky Mountains.
We live just across the Golden Gate Bridge in Mill Valley. When I'm not
working, I'm riding gravel bikes, skiing, or trying to get in to woodworking keeping up with my .
Work
I work across software design, engineering, and product, with a recent focus on AI and developer infrastructure.
In 2020 I co-founded a startup building AI tools for infra teams. We raised money from Founders Fund, Sancus Ventures, Abstraction Capital, GTM Fund, and some great angel investors.
I've also led product and design teams at GitHub and Meta. I joined GitHub as an early member of the product design team and eventually led the design team and started the product management team.
