30 Second Intro

• I currently live in Atlanta, GA. I previously lived in San Francisco, Brooklyn, and Arlington, VA.

• I’m a product manager at Datadog, working on a CI Observability product (coming soon!)

• I recently led product and design at a developer tools startup, called Undefined Labs, which was acquired by Datadog in 2020.

• I previously worked at Docker, by way of acquisition of Tutum (developer-oriented SaaS startup).

• Before startup life, I was a Firefighter for 2.5 years and a CrossFit trainer for 4 years.

• Favorite book: Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Cixin Liu.

• Favorite movie: Kill Bill vol. 2

Fun facts

• In college I turned a free $25 sign up bonus into $20,000 playing online poker.

• While a CrossFit trainer, I was able to unofficially break the world record in “pull ups using momentum” (kipping, or leg kicking) by getting 67 in a minute, while the record was 55.

• During my time as a firefighter, I was able to finish 39th in North America playing Hearthstone, an online strategy card game.

What to expect from me

• You can expect me to write about topics at the intersection of productivity, peak mental performance, and long-term thinking.

• I have a weekly newsletter that goes out on Sundays. I’ll be sharing fresh ideas, links to interesting content, and highlights of the best products I come across.

• I also have a fledgling podcast where you can catch me talking about a range of topics with my best friend from high school.
