BIO
I'm the CEO and co-founder of OpenFoundry. I was previously a PM at Meta, where I built API products and developer platforms for WhatsApp and Instagram. Before that, I worked on business and product analytics at Airbnb and LinkedIn. I also spent a few years as a consultant at Bain and as a full stack software engineer building information management software for libraries and universities.
