I'm a founder, engineer and relentlessly curious and creative person. I've successfully built and launched, and sold products at Twitter, Turazo, Algolia, and SnapTrade.

More

I have significant experience working on agile development teams with an emphasis on backend development for product-powering APIs. Prior to Zip my work has been mainly focused on sales engineering and supporting innovative B2C and B2B products for companies on a global scale. I graduated from Dartmouth in 2017 with a BA in Computer Science and I'm a former member of the Dartmouth Heavyweight Crew Team. When I'm not engineering or selling, I'm playing guitar for rock bands in NYC and Nashville, and I spend large amounts of time in both cities. On the technology side, I have professional experience building developer productivity tooling, HTTP and Thrift APIs, user-facing web services with: - Golang - AWS, GCP - Scala - Docker - Python - Ruby on Rails - Heroku - JavaScript, Node + React, js, Vercel
