My Work
These days I’m focused on Heroku and making it easier for people to ship and operate their software. This is a journey I’ve been on for years and I hope for many more to come.
Below is a sample of the companies and projects I’ve worked on.
- Heroku
- Private Spaces - The private version of Heroku you’ve always wanted.
- Foundation - The platform that runs the platform you know and trust.
- Ruby on Ales
- I’m lucky enough to run one of the best Ruby conferences with my friends Josh Sullivan, Colton Fent and Coby Randquist
- AT&T
- Silver Lining Cloud.
- LivingSocial
- Merchant Platform team. R&D-heavy Portland crew that built a mobile-focused application platform.
- G5
- Core Team. Built many things, wore many hats.
- Western Communications
- Built and managed many things here. The Newspaper business is rough.
- GL Solutions
- I owe GL for giving me many of the perspectives I have on the software industry.
My Failures
Here are the things that I’ve failed at. These remind me to keep moving forward and learning.
