What I'm looking for

I'm interested in remote, hands-on product engineering and technical leadership roles. I enjoy mentoring engineers, but want to keep designing and building software myself.

At Nova Talent, I co-built Nova Recruiter with one other engineer and designed and implemented its multichannel campaign engine, including branching, interaction-based decisions and provider integrations. Around 720 companies have used or tried the product, which supports roughly 430 active campaigns.

At Bobsled, I built resilient data ingestion that helped retain an enterprise customer. Outside work, I created memoir., an e-ink photo-frame product with more than 80 paid units and no paid advertising; I owned the product and software. I enjoy mentoring engineers, and I want to keep designing and building software myself.
