Overview

12 years in software engineering, the last 2 at Slate Systems, where I lead the developer experience team. Moved 64% of developer experience traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Built the experimentation framework 24 product teams use to ship changes safely. Cyclist - trying to do a century this year.
