๐Ÿ’ก My Mission

Iโ€™m an engineer, turned founder, turned investor. My passion is helping other engineers start companies, and I wrote a blog post about my goal of helping 1k of them launch startups. (I should probably up that to 10k at this point, since Iโ€™m quickly approaching my initial goal ๐Ÿค”)

What I have done in the past:

I believe most problems in tech can be solved by pooling together knowledge and experience at scale - which is why my focus for the past decade has been on building global communities of engineers and deeply technical folks. Working in and around OSS has taught me a lot over my career (one of my all-time favorite reads is The Cathedral and the Bazaar)
