I've been building software companies since I was in high school. I've co-founded seven venture-backed startups across enterprise SaaS, healthcare, publishing, consumer apps, and connected hardware. I'm a generalist by disposition — I've never been able to stay in one lane because the interesting problems keep showing up in different ones. The common thread is that I like building things from nothing — writing the first line of code, hiring the first engineer, figuring out the architecture for something that doesn't exist yet. I'm drawn to the moment where an idea has to become a real system that works for real people, and all the hard compromises that come with it.

  Doma Home
  CTO

  Leading engineering at Doma Home, building a new hardware platform for the smart home alongside Jason Johnson and Yves Béhar. Doma sits at the intersection of three things that are extremely hard for AI today: design, craft, and hardware.

  We’re not building another app-controlled deadbolt. We’re building integrated robotic devices that understand how a household moves through space — a door that doesn’t wait for you to ring the doorbell. The engineering challenges span embedded systems, computer vision, industrial design for mass production, and building software that anticipates rather than reacts.

  South Park Commons
  Member

  Spent six months between companies exploring ideas at SPC. Dug deep into the future of fitness, AI support for aging in place, and what a post-LLM product development workflow actually looks like in practice.

  Evernow
  Co-Founder / CTO

  Co-founded and led engineering at Evernow for five years, building a telemedicine platform for evidence-based menopause and aging care. We grew from an idea to a team of 50+ serving thousands of patients across the US.

  I built the initial product end-to-end — patient intake, provider tooling, pharmacy integrations, subscription management — and scaled the engineering team as we grew. Healthcare software is a particular kind of hard: regulatory constraints, real clinical stakes, and patients who need things to work the first time. It taught me more about building reliable systems than anything else I’ve done.

  Doctrly
  Co-Founder / CTO

  Built tools for hospital security teams to automatically redact personally identifiable information from data transfers between devices and services. Healthcare data breaches are almost always preventable — Doctrly was an attempt to stop them before they happen by making redaction automatic rather than aspirational.

• Nov 2014 - Mar 2017
  Projector
  Co-Founder / CTO

  Built a programmable, AI powered push notification platform for product and engineering teams. Projector delivered the right message to the right user at the right time using deep user modeling and personalization, built on Apache Kafka and Apache Beam, scaling to support extreme and unpredictable notification workloads from user-generated content.

  Seesaw
  Co-Founder / CEO

  Seesaw was a consumer product designed to improve the way we make decisions with help from our friends. In addition to front-of-house responsibility, I also functioned as CTO and implemented a large portion of our back-end infrastructure.

  Seesaw was an amazing learning experience — the consumer mobile app space is unbelievably fickle, and no combination of amazing investors, great App Store promotion, and top-shelf execution guarantees any amount of success. I’m proud of the work that we did, but it ultimately failed to gain traction and we sold our assets to Byliner in 2013.

  CoTweet
  Co-Founder / Chief Architect

  Co-founded CoTweet, one of the first enterprise social media management tools. We built the platform that companies like Ford, Microsoft, and JetBlue used to adapt to the new world of public customer service — making it easy for call center staff to engage customers on Twitter at scale.

  I developed the core product thesis, built the team, and led engineering, including early work on tweet attribution, delegation, and CRM integrations. Acquired by ExactTarget in 2010, which later became a foundational piece of Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud.
