Leading engineering at Doma Home, building the world’s smartest door: a single-axis robot that recognizes you, judges that the coast is clear, opens in front of you, and closes securely once you’re inside. Building alongside Jason Johnson and Yves Béhar, the founding team behind the August smart lock. Doma sits where AI is still hardest: design, craft, and hardware.

Six months surrounded by some of the best thinkers and builders exploring new company ideas at the same time. 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.

Co-founded and led engineering at Evernow for five years, building a telemedicine platform for evidence-based menopause and aging care. Backed by NEA and 8VC alongside a remarkable group of investors including Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell. We grew from an idea to a 50+ person team serving thousands of patients a month across the US.

I built the product end-to-end: a proprietary EHR and customer platform spanning patient intake, provider tooling, pharmacy integrations, subscription management, and mobile experiences. I also scaled the engineering team as we grew. We were at the leading edge of AI in healthcare too, implementing early AI-powered clinical decision support and note-taking just as the technology was making its way to market. Healthcare software is a particular kind of hard: regulatory constraints, real clinical stakes, and patients who need things to work the first time. The experience taught me more about building reliable systems than anything else I’ve done.

How do hospitals manage data privacy internally? Doctrly was an exploration into tools that automatically redact unnecessary personally identifiable information from devices inside the hospital IT ecosystem. Healthcare data breaches are almost always preventable. Doctrly was an attempt to stop them before they happen by making compliance automatic rather than aspirational.

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 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.

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 saw that large brands were about to need real customer support and marketing infrastructure on Twitter, not just some interns sharing a login. I defined the product vision, built the team, and led engineering. Cotweet was acquired by ExactTarget in 2010, which later became a foundational piece of Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud.
