About Me

As a kid, most of my toys were broken because I had to take them apart and see how things worked.

Naturally, I gravitated to being an engineer and the invisible software that makes everything tick.

I’m what you might call a generalist in tech. I’ve worked with a lot of different things in my career (projects):

Nordic Bluetooth Chips, iOS Apps, Elasticsearch, Xamarin, S3, Garage Openers, Serverless, Figma Plugins, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Alexa Skills, Javascript, Python, AWS, Azure.

I find it’s rarely about the technology, but the rather the experience I want to build. As a result, I learn a lot of new things every day. I think I’m a true tech person in that regard. I like bringing things that people have never seen into the world. And I get excited over the number of lives it could change (even though it might just be another dud).

What I do now?

I work at Pinterest as a design technologist on the Gestalt Design System.

I’m focused on thinking of workflows that make dev-design handoff easier and building new tools on top of Figma.

I did a brief run as a startup founder and have a Figma plugin that I maintain.

Before that, I used to be a Program Manager at Microsoft doing work with scaling the Windows codebase.

Catch me if you can

If you’re looking for a versatile programmer, preferably with some product management experience and leadership ability, I’m the guy.

Here’s my resume in case you were looking for it. Be sure to read a few of my posts.

Fun Facts

I answer Stackoverflow questions in my spare time (nerd!). I’ve reached 131K people so far.

I’ve pitched to Mark Cuban before in a Big Idea Competition and won.
