Executive Summary
While obtaining my Ph D in Computer Science, I developed a deep knowledge of experimental design, human factors, statistical analysis, software development, and team management.
Since graduating in 2014 I have applied these skills in startups. First serving as the CTO and Co-Founder of GameWisp until 2018, and then as the CTO of Codecov from 2018 to present day.
At GameWisp I grew the software team from myself to a team of ten individuals comprised of developers, designers, data scientists, and project managers. Additionally, I led the overall technical design of GameWisp's products and shipped production-quality code on a daily basis. While at GameWisp our Annual Recurring Revenue grew from $0 to $4M, we gained hundreds of thousands active users, and shipped numerous successful products and features.
While at Codecov I scaled the technical team from 2 to 10+ engineers, support staff, and product developers. I also led the overall technical direction of the business, and helped turn Codecov into a world class, industry leading developer tool and software product.
I enjoy applying my skills as a scientist, software developer, and business leader to SaaS companies of all sizes. I'm passionate about managing technical teams, solving complex technical problems, and providing executive-level oversight to growing businesses.
