About
I'm a software engineer, engineering manager, and team leader with experience building and scaling Growth teams. Helping companies scale is incredibly satisfying to me and I've found that Growth teams are where I can best apply my skills. I'm a huge proponent of being a grug brained, product-minded software engineer. Complexity demon bad.
On the side, I started a small company called Collate Notes that sold a note taking app for a while. I also created an open source note taking Visual Studio Extension called VSNotes. These days I don't do a whole lot of work on the side, life has a way of re-prioritizing your free time :).
I took a pretty non-traditional path to where I'm at today. I dropped out of college, helped open a paintball field, and worked as a paralegal. I went back to school later on, first starting at community college and completing my bachelors in Economics-Mathematics at Columbia University. When I left school, I became a data analyst. I soon discovered I was not a fan of Excel or cleaning data. I got into software development while learning Python for data analysis and got into web development. Then I spent a few years at Noom as an individual contributor, tech lead, and finally as an engineering manager. After leaving Noom, at Clockwise I went full circle and worked on integrating large language models (LLMs) with Clockwise Prism.
