I build products and the systems that power them. I work at the intersection of engineering and product management, focusing on hands-on prototyping, developer tools, and making complex systems understandable.
Most people in the Android community know me for co-founding LineageOS and serving as the spokesperson for CyanogenMod. Professionally, I've spent the last decade leading product and engineering teams at scale, most recently as VP of Product at Jungle Scout.
I believe in leading by building—writing code, mapping data architectures, and working directly in the editor alongside other developers.

- Frameworks & Platforms: Astro, React, Cloudflare Pages/Workers, Android Open Source Project (AOSP), iOS

- Code over Spreadsheets: I prefer reviewing PRs and drawing schemas on whiteboards over managing static spreadsheets.
- Design & UI Details: I care deeply about editorial layouts, solid typography (like Space Grotesk and Manrope), and high-performance frontends.
- Developer Autonomy: I advocate for giving engineering teams the trust, context, and focus they need to build things right the first time.
