Work History

Norm.ai

I’m currently a technical director at Norm.ai. I help the team build internal products to empower our legal engineers while also driving a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Val.town

I worked briefly with the team at Val.town as a founding engineer helping build out product features as a full-stack engineer.

Recurse Center

I attended the Recurse Center to explore my technical interests and figure out my next career step. During this time, I built a Deno desktop framework in Rust and TypeScript, a language server implementation for a binary DSL protocol called Typical, and paired with another RCer to build a Deno functions-as-a-service platform, among other projects. It was a fun, educational, and productive time.

Membrane

In my brief stint as a co-founder at Membrane, I helped raise a pre-seed, interview potential customers, create the docs, set up product research infrastructure, and build out a CI pipeline for rapid product iteration. I ultimately stepped away on good terms due to a difference of vision.

Oxide Computer Company

As an engineer on the product team, I helped build Oxide’s Web Console and contributed to the lower-level Control Plane. I was specifically responsible for rewriting the rack’s REST API to support name or unique identifiers (the original version only supported mutable name references). I also helped build Oxide’s design system and made significant contributions to the generated TypeScript SDK. You can see my public PRs here↗.

Recurse Center

This was my first batch at Recurse↗. I explored learning new programming languages (like Rust) and invested a lot of time in writing and pairing. It was an incredible experience and helped me secure my next role.

Artsy

I was hired as a senior software engineer at Artsy and worked across the tech stack and on various teams. I helped build the design system, contributed to the UI across the web and mobile app, reduced CI build times significantly, introduced the notion of tech plans, led a major refactor of the GraphQL service, contributed to infrastructure and automation on the platform team, spearheaded performance and SEO improvements, and acted as a tech lead for the purchase team. I was deeply involved with hiring, helping drive culture, and doing everything I could to help those around me be successful in their endeavors.

Artsy is open source by default so most of my work over the three years I was there is available here↗.

Scripps Networks Interactive

At Scripps, I was responsible for improving performance and introducing frontend best practices. I revamped the build system, worked extensively to improve page performance, and co-designed a theming system that enabled HGTV, Travel Channel, and Food Network to effectively use the same markup while retaining their unique brand styling. I helped lead a cross-platform effort to consolidate HGTV, Food Network, and Travel Channel on a single platform.

Vencore

I built features for a rotary aircraft maintenance system using ExtJS and ColdFusion.

Adtran

I worked every other semester as a co-op engineer at Adtran while in college. I rotated from writing embedded C++ on an NetVanta VOIP PBX to designing a voltage anomaly detection system for another networking device, and helping build out an interface to monitor and manage automated tests across a fleet of networked devices. This is also where I got my start in open source, contributing to the Selenium 2 binding for Robot Framework↗.
