I’m a philosopher-engineer experienced in architecting amazing products with successful early-stage startups.

My heart lies in engineering cool products with smart, friendly people. I currently work on Slack’s Platform, leading a brilliant team of developer advocates that build relationships and tools with third-party developers. Throughout my career I have engaged a broad range of technologies: chatbots, webapps, desktop apps, streaming media, embedded hardware, and even the model railroading industry. I’ve proven my grit by achieving my PhD philosophy, and my training in the philosophy of mind and neuroscience informs my work as a chatbot builder. When I am not working, I love traveling, sailing, foreign languages and enjoying all life has to offer with my wife and daughter by my side.
