A decade of startups in San Francisco and Austin.
Then a deliberate move home to Toledo.
Now I lead engineering at an AI consultancy, run a developer community, and serve on the board of a non-profit bringing AI education to Toledo.
Studied philosophy. Writes code. Builds communities.
Currently thinking about what AI-first and "local tech ecosystem" actually mean.WHAT I'M BUILDING

Spent a decade at SF/Austin startups — CreativeLive, Instawork, United Airlines, Vida Health. Studied philosophy at Toledo, not CS. Moved back because the interesting problems aren't all on the coasts.
