In a world obsessed with hustle, hype, and hot takes, I’m just here trying to balance humanity with technology, reality with opportunity, and the occasional dad joke with actual productivity.
I’ve worn a lot of hats: founder, CTO, engineering leader, mentor, and (unofficially) chief pun officer. I took $OLV.ax from founding to IPO, invested in and advised startups, and built teams that ship, scale, and sometimes even smile.
These days, I’m co-founding Renumerate (yes, we’re fixing subscription cancellation—finally), investing in community through mentorship and non-profit work, and helping startups with technical advice, support, and the occasional meme.
I still find time to code. (Balance, remember?)

Early stage co-founder and CTO. With high acquisition costs, high subscriber churn, and compliance headaches, the subscription cancellation experience desperately needs innovation. We’re on it.

This company haha.
Jan 2023 – Feb 2024 · San Francisco (Hybrid)
Led engineering, product, design, and support. Built solutions, scaled teams, and kept things (mostly) cocooned.
2015 – 2022 · San Francisco Bay Area
Led teams for Subscriptions, Ads, Commerce, and Professionals. Launched Twitter Blue, Live Commerce, and more. Responsible for 100+ engineers, a lot of product launches, and most of the bad puns in engineering all-hands.
2014 – 2015 · San Francisco
Built portable identity solutions for the web. Worked with encryption, HSMs, and enough acronyms to last a lifetime.
2011 – 2014 · San Francisco
Changed how developers and publishers send push notifications. Architected systems that handled billions of API calls a month. Survived the IPO process with only minor caffeine dependency.
