I'm personally keenly interested in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, security, supply chain & logistics, and tech that transforms industries. I've spent my career building software in the formative years of companies like VMware and Facebook (as well as a few startups). I've spanned a broad set of domains from operating systems to consumer web and mobile apps to shrink-wrapped software to developer tools to big data. The one "constant" has been high-growth and industry transformation. I'm passionate about scaling products, teams, and companies, and I care deeply about STEM education.
