I'm an engineer trying to understand how people, organizations, and technologies work. My work is usually to simplify the complex, to peer behind the veil where the beauty of code meets the messiness of reality.

Right now, I'm trying to build a new kind of bank at Column.

I feed on thought-provoking conversations with founders, product leaders, and engineers. I sometimes invest in startups.

In my free time, you can find me chasing a great live set, picking fruit at the farmers market with my wife, or trying to perfect my latte art.
