I'm passionate about super great tech, cycling, and DIY, with a little craft beer sprinkled in. I mainly blog about technology, software development, and engineering leadership, but my other hobbies tend to make appearances every once in a while.
In my professional life I work at Mantle, a startup disrupting the revenue operations space for SaaS companies. I have also spent six years at Shopify leading and managing teams in the CX (customer experience) space. Prior to that, I worked at TravelClick building their CRM and first-in-class loyalty programs for the hospitality industry.
