Software Engineer & Founder
Building the future through innovation, empathy, and user-centric software solutions.
About
I’m a product-minded software professional who’s helped early-stage teams transform big ideas into scalable, impactful solutions. After contributing to a successful startup exit at Divvy, I took an extended break to immerse myself in personal pursuits—travel, health, purchasing my first home, and experimenting with a small e-commerce venture, and diving into philosophy. During that time, I gained a fresh perspective on innovation, entrepreneurship, and what it means to build products that genuinely improve people’s lives.
Now, I’m returning to the tech world with renewed passion, ready to leverage my background in software development, user-centric design, and rapid-growth strategies. My goal is to create or collaborate on ventures that push boundaries, solve real-world problems, and ultimately make the world a better place through technology.
I’m interested in connecting with fellow innovators, founders, and teams who share this mission. If you’re working on a project that aligns with these values—or you’d just like to trade ideas—I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make something great happen.
I joined Divvy as employee #3 and spent five incredible years there as a foundational software engineer. From writing the very first line of code for our mobile app to establishing the core infrastructure, my role involved building and shaping products that would drive the company’s growth. I had the opportunity to lead feature development and manage a dedicated team, all while navigating the complexities of technical debt and implementing modern deployment pipelines.
A significant highlight was securing exclusive API access from partners like Apple to integrate Wallet features, ensuring that our offerings stayed on the cutting edge of consumer technology. Along the way, I championed the adoption of pioneering tools and frameworks such as React Native, GraphQL, CodePush, and TypeScript—helping Divvy maintain a forward-thinking engineering culture. Overall, my time at Divvy not only honed my technical expertise but also reinforced the value of building scalable, user-centric solutions in a fast-paced startup environment.
Ecommerce Venture
During my sabbatical, I founded and managed an e-commerce company dedicated to empowering individuals to learn computer programming. Our flagship product is an innovative learning tool designed to make coding accessible, engaging, and effective for users of all backgrounds.
Through this project, I honed my entrepreneurial instincts, learning how to identify market needs, develop compelling solutions, and optimize operations for sustained growth. Managing an Amazon FBA-based business taught me the importance of efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and maintaining a customer-centric approach—all of which are essential skills I bring to my next entrepreneurial endeavors.
Side Projects
In the early stages of my career, I developed a crisis relief mobilization app that, although it didn’t achieve commercial success, ignited my passion for transforming innovative ideas into impactful technological solutions. Additionally, I created a social app that allowed friends to send timed challenges and earn points, which enhanced my skills in user engagement and interactive design. These projects not only fueled my entrepreneurial spirit but also laid the foundation for my commitment to leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and create meaningful user experiences.
