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.

Product and engineering consultant

I bring over a decade of experience building products and engineering teams, with a particular focus on teams building B2B products with Ruby on Rails. I ship great products quickly, and help create the teams to support those products as they scale to millions in revenue.

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