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 is 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. This professional experience is built on a rigorous foundation: a PhD in Mathematics, which informs my perspective on logic, structure, and engineering elegance.
