About
I am a software developer focused on systems and product engineering across C++, Rust, Go, Python, C#, and JavaScript. I co-founded Brave in 2015 with Brendan Eich and currently serve as CTO and board member. Before Brave, I worked at Khan Academy, Mozilla, Evernote, and more. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science Honors from the University of Waterloo.
Outside work, I spend time with family and run long distances.
