Short Long

Work

My entire career, my passion has been driven by the ability to level up engineers.

Originally this was as an Engineering and Product Manager at several software companies, but more recently, I've been privileged to work on developer tooling directly at GitLab. In 2020, I changed roles to be a Developer Evangelist at GitLab.
