About

Software engineer with an eye for good design, killer product instincts, and some entrepreneurial experience. I relish zero-to-one projects in small teams with high velocity, autonomy, and ownership. Most of my work has been on iOS, but I am agnostic about technology decisions – use the right tool for the job!
