Engineering Narrative
I'm a founding partner at Initial Capacity, a software consultancy of lead developers building applications at scale for startups and the world's largest companies. I'm a firm believer that the first few weeks of a new codebase may just be the most important code you'll write.
My journey in technology began in academia. I serve as a lecturer at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I teach the next generation of engineers the nuances of software development and system design.
Before Initial Capacity, I spent significant time at Pivotal Labs, working with some of the world's most complex engineering organizations to transform their delivery practices. My PhD in Mathematics informs my perspective on logic, structure, and engineering elegance.
