Why I'm Here

I have 15 years experience building products and managing software/design teams, primarily in SaaS. I am passionate about building products customers love. I have experience with interface design, research techniques, and best engineering practices. I've built 4 startups — 2 exited. I led product teams at Microsoft and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science and Business from Lehigh University. I've managed teams consisting of marketing, product, design, and engineering. I am on the board of multiple non-profits. I teach and play guitar, enjoy gymnastics and hot yoga, am always on a bike, and have played tennis competitively. I've personally hired over 100 engineers and designers, and I've reviewed over 10,000 resumes. All views, advice, and services offered through this platform are my own and provided in a personal capacity. They do not represent or reflect the views of my employer. I do not offer coaching, referrals, or insights related to my current employer’s internal roles or hiring processes.

What to Expect

I typically spend about 5 minutes reviewing your request and respond to messages with either detailed text or a 5-minute Loom video. I've helped professionals with tips on getting into big tech, with resume reviews, product critiques, and more.
