I spent the last 16 years building and running an agency called Chromatic. In early 2024, I sold my stake in the company to start a new chapter in my career.

I've been writing software since the late 90's and leading engineering teams since 2008. I've written code for websites you've most certainly used. I believe in open source software, native apps over cross-platform frameworks, and in the power of empathetic leadership.

• ⚡ Fun fact: I was once reviewing a pull request that included a new bash script for clearing and syncing files across dev environments. When I ran it locally, it wiped my entire hard drive. Needless to say, the PR did not pass code review that day.
