Coach and consultant to bootstrapped founders

I work with early stage, bootstrapped founders to help them navigate the messy middle from post product-market fit to tens of millions in revenue.

Founders work with me to help construct their first product team, create the leadership structure and support their engineering teams need, and transition their own role from a frontline builder to a visionary leader, without losing touch with the work that brings them joy.

Writer

I write about product, engineering, leadership, and personal growth in my once-weekly newsletter and on this site.

I've also written a number of technical articles and a book, focused on modern software development with Ruby on Rails.
