About me

I’ve always been curious with computers. As a kid, I pulled them apart just to see how they worked, rebuilt them, and documented everything on video. That love for storytelling led me into short filmmaking — I even won a competition on MTV. At the same time, I was running forums, building and hosting websites, and sharing tutorials with anyone who’d listen.

In my teens, I started and grew a few successful web hosting companies, and even built and sold a platform where users could upload and share their outfits to earn badges for their style — long before Instagram existed.

Through college and university, I never stopped building for the web. I learned PHP and Ruby on Rails, then spent five years doing Rails professionally before shifting to Go. That’s when I had my first taste of remote work, and loved it.

Curious as ever, I dove into Node.js, React, and GraphQL. I moved from fullstack engineering into developer tooling, building docs and SDKs for a headless ecommerce API, before headless ecommerce was even a buzzword. That led to roles at a headless CMS company, then a GraphQL platform, and later working with The Guild, where I started publishing short educational videos to help others learn.

A few years ago, I became fascinated with local-first software — fast, offline-friendly apps that sync to the cloud, which brought me to Turso, where we're building the kinds of tools I wish I’d had years ago.

I’ve never stopped tinkering, exploring ideas, or contributing to open source. I’ve built libraries for headless commerce, drop shipping, carts, and attended over 20 developer conferences along the way — always learning, always making new friends.
