Chief Platform Officer at @orderlymeds — a vertically-integrated healthtech platform restoring dignity, access, and simplicity to healthcare. I joined as VP of Engineering and now lead ops + product across the platform.

Before this: Director of Engineering at Calendly, engineering leadership at SalesLoft, and founder of Flowerwork. I also run Deft, a consultancy helping technical executives guide their teams to ship better software. That adds up to 26 years building software, 15 years managing engineering teams, and 9 years managing managers at the time of writing.
