About

I make technology get out of people's way.

Good IT is mostly invisible: the right tools in people's hands, the broken ones quietly taken away, so everyone can get back to what really matters — the work they love. Tech moves fast, so I keep learning, keep trying new things, and try not to get too attached to how we did it last year.

I started out interning at a software company in San Diego, CA, and hit the ground running. A few years later I landed my first full-fledged gig at Apple, where I learned to love the freedom computers give people. I worked on the front lines with so many people who used this technology to do the crazy, wonderful things they loved. I was awestruck day after day, and damn, was it inspiring.

After four years at Apple I moved to a creative agency in Portland, Oregon. I've been in Berlin since 2018 and now work at Zalando, helping build the systems and support network that let people here create amazing work.

Outside work I build small open-source tools: Reclaim, a calm way to change a habit one day at a time; OpenDeck, for making slides in your browser; TermTrek, a hands-on Git course; and SOFA Bot, which brings Apple security updates into Google Chat. They're all free, and you'll find them on the Tools page.
