About

I’m a software engineer passionate about building AI-powered applications and frictionless user experiences.

After a decade growing products at Microsoft, LinkedIn, Lyft, and Block, I pivoted fully into software engineering — most recently at Gamma, an AI startup rethinking how people present and share ideas.

Today, I focus on frontend development with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and love designing interfaces where AI and UX meet.

I also write a newsletter about programming, productivity, and personal knowledge management.

I live in San Francisco, CA with my wife, two kids, and our 3.5-pound dog, Pixel (no relation to the phone). Outside of work, I love exploring productivity tools, experimenting with AI side projects, playing tennis, and designing casual mobile games.
