Boulder, Colorado
About
I am product-focused, a technical problem solver, a logic based decision maker, and I'm not afraid to dig into new technologies (if they will solve the problem best).
I consider myself entrepreneurially oriented and love startups. I’m an avid Hacker News reader and Product Hunter; anything to stay up to date on the latest and greatest.
I co-founded Reactor Inc. developers of Winston for iPhone, an app that further connects you to your friends and world around you. We created an audio visual experience to absorb content that we typically read from social media or news sites. I was the second member of the team and hacked together a PHP prototype and then later a Node.js build during DreamIt Ventures’ NYC 2012 program.
Since then, I've been working at startups around the Boulder, Colorado area, including SendGrid, Conspire, Simple Energy, and Yonomi.
I'm a Software Engineering Manager at Yonomi
