about

I am a writer, programmer, and senior manager at a high-growth startup.


At Clutch I lead an 18-person implementation engineering team. I most enjoy hiring and cultivating exceptional teams, building AI-enabled internal tooling, and designing resilient systems that anticipate change.


I am currently interested in making software and the broader internet feel more local, curation and proactive recommendation systems, cultivating curiosity, and designing technology that protects attention rather than competing for it. I love emailing with real human beings, so reach out!
