About

Miami-raised, San Francisco-based.

I started my career selling semiconductors at Texas Instruments, which put me in the room with Bay Area founders. I wanted to build what they were building, so I went through Hack Reactor and joined WorkSpan as its ninth employee. Since then I’ve been an engineer, an engineering manager, a senior engineering manager and an AI product engineering lead, and I’ve kept writing code throughout.
