About

Software engineer trying to help the world run a little smoother. Previously, I co-founded Chewse to make workplaces better and helped bring it to success — $12M in annual sales, 100+ employees, $15M raised. I programmed the site that got us our first funding, I built an engineering and design team of 10 amazing people, and I ran operations and logistics for almost a year. Engineering is my passion. I love the act of creation, of bringing something into the world and changing people's lives so directly. So now I'm back to building the web out of incredible open-source technologies like Ruby, Rails, Python, Django, React, Angular, VueJS, and more.
