BIO
Co-founder and CTO - Chordio. Previously co-founded Brand.ai - a platform for design system management. Sold to InVision in 2017, and stayed on as an engineering manager and director of engineering. Continued to scale and evolve the product into InVision's DSM (Design System Manager). Moved on in 2022 to lean into the project management space, where I see many familiar patterns and challenges waiting to be solved.
