About

I’m a founding engineer at Ampersand. I write about the founding engineer journey, tech industry, strategy, and positioning various types of bets. I design product experiences and ship features. I own the frontend experience and architecture. My work spans rapid prototyping, system design for evolving AI interfaces, and designing and building user and developer experience. I clicked "create repository" on github to build our dashboard 0 to 1 at Ampersand along with architecting and building our embeddable component library. I believe founding engineers should see themselves as owners and make decisions accordingly.
