As one of the first employees of IFTTT, I've built our apps and teams from the ground up. I've worn many hats, building out infrastructure to support apps and the web, acting as product designer and product manager at times, and managing relationships with external partners like Apple, Google, and Facebook.

Currently, as Head of Engineering, I architect and manage the development and growth of our products and teams, as well as help set direction for the company.

Apps

IFTTT for iOS - Architected and developed IFTTT's first mobile app. IFTTT for iOS earned Apple's prestigious Editors' Choice award, and was named one of the top apps of 2013 by Apple, Time, The Next Web, Lifehacker, and more.

IFTTT for Android - Recruited a top-notch Android team and worked along side them to bring IFTTT to Android, earning a spot on the Best Of lists of Google, Lifehacker, The Guardian, and more.
