San Francisco, California
I’ve been writing software for twenty years. Right now I’m building Steward and writing Moving Parts. I live in San Francisco with my family. When I’m not working, I’m usually with my kid or riding my bike.
Founder and CEO
Steward is the AI agent that fights for you. Connect your email and bank, and it texts you when something’s wrong, like a bad bill, a price hike, or a charge that shouldn’t be there, then fights it right from Messages.

I write about how technology gets made, why it so often frustrates us, and what we could build differently.
Read the newsletterA $549.50 medical bill sat on my kitchen counter for two weeks. That turned into an essay about the money companies make when we give up.
I rode from Banff to the Mexican border in 22 days, 21 hours, and 54 minutes. I crashed, ran out of brake pads, slept in a laundry room, and wrote the whole thing down.
I started writing software for the auto industry in Detroit. After moving to San Francisco, I was one of the first engineers at Weebly. Later, I led engineering for Square’s Business Financing team and worked as CTO at several smaller startups. Before Steward, I was the founder and CEO of Stitch, a payments company.
I’ve spent the last twenty years building products and leading engineering teams. Now I’m building Steward. Moving Parts is where I write about that work and what I’m learning along the way.

I’m also happy to join podcasts, interviews, panels, and events.
