About Me

Here are the ways I am available to help!

I’m an entrepreneur and engineering leader. I use technology as a tool to try to make the world a better place and occasionally start companies along the way.

Currently, I am VP of Engineering at Mindbody where my team is taking our business-facing products to the next level.

Sometimes I help companies jumpstart change. At Microsoft I was the first Entrepreneur in Residence in the Office of the CTO. I worked with some great people trying to start new ideas inside Microsoft that were not on any existing roadmap.

I was VP of Engineering at Nines where we developed best in the world triage algorithms for radiology to help give radiologists superpowers. We rebuilt much of the traditional radiology technology stack from scratch, producing a radiology practice 58% more efficient than the national average. Prior to Nines, I led engineering at ClassPass where I helped scale the team and technology after they acquired my startup fitmob.

Before fitmob, I started Ness Computing which provided great personalized restaurant recommendations. Sadly we did not pay enough attention to distribution and sold to OpenTable while not realizing our full potential. Before Ness, I was at Palantir creating geospatial search, did a bit of consulting, dropped out of a Ph.D. program, and interned at Apple working on the first few versions of Mac OS X Server.
