    What I Do

    What do I do? Hard to answer in 300 characters. At every company I've founded or worked at, I tackled the most difficult problems and shipped innovative products that customers loved.

    Describe what you have done, what you are doing, and the kinds of things you are interested in.
    Achievements

    I've built award-winning consumer apps(VSCO), enterprise SaaS products(Heroku and Zendesk), developer platforms(Zendesk, Klick Push, and Marmalade), and managed high-performing innovative teams as a product manager. Started a nonprofit to teach software engineering to people from underrepresented communities and expanded that to 2 cities in the first year and was recognized by the White House.

    Describe the most impressive thing you've done.
