About
Software designer based in San Francisco. Fifteen-plus years of experience building products, with stops at Twitter, Discord, and most recently Strava.
In a previous life, I wrote a how-to book about making jewelry out of unused computer components with Watson-Guptill, a Random House imprint. You can check it out on Amazon.
I've been featured on Workspace.xyz and Abstract's blog.
