About me
I'm currently a Director of Engineering at Grow Therapy in New York, where I've been helping build the product since late 2022. Grow Therapy connects people with licensed therapists and other providers for in-person and virtual behavioral health care covered by insurance. We've served over a million clients to date and are still growing.
Before Grow Therapy, I spent more than three years at Twistle building an automated patient communication platform for healthcare providers. We delivered timely, personalized messages that improved adherence to prep instructions and care plans, and helped reduce readmissions. Twistle was acquired by Health Catalyst in 2021.
Earlier in my career, I spent seven years at Microsoft. I helped build the Azure cloud business in its early years (2013–2018). Later, in the Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), I worked on shifting Microsoft's open source culture leading up to and through the GitHub acquisition, and grew ClearlyDefined.io from a proof of concept into a product that ingests and indexes the entire open source ecosystem.
One thing I'm especially proud of is founding Imgbot, an open source GitHub app that automatically optimizes images. It grew into a community of contributors and a profitable business, with installations in over 300,000 projects before I sold it in 2021.
I got my start with a degree from Penn State in Electrical Engineering. I loved building in the physical world with electronics and signals, but there's nothing quite like the pace and possibilities of building with code.
I'm almost always making something. Most ideas fail; a few stick. If you want to know what I'm up to right now, feel free to reach out.
