A Bit About Me

I've spent my career at the intersection of hardware and software, from debugging embedded software in Formula 1 pit lanes to architecting cloud platforms for autonomous robots.

I've been a founder, a CTO, and an individual contributor. I've hired engineers and been hired. I've built products that failed and products that scaled. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
