Hands-On Software Engineering Leader

Founding Engineer, Technical Cofounder, Creator, Culture Builder

👋 Welcome!

I'm a Senior Engineering Manager at doxo.

I've bootstrapped a few solo projects, most recently including Epic Road Trip Planner to help people coordinate amazing road trips without the stress. I've also been lucky enough to get on board super-early with a few magical founding teams, including Tiller, Ontela, BlueWater Systems, and MSR Development.

When I'm not writing code, you might find me spending time with my family, hiking, or taking photos -- ideally, all three at the same time.
