About Me
And in case you're curious, here's a bit more about me:
🦈 In 2013, I became the first engineer at Packback where I hired and managed the engineering team. We went on to raise money from Mark Cuban on Shark Tank, and grow the team to about 30 people by the time I left.
🏫 In 2016, I joined The Graide Network as their CTO. I spent 4 years building their platform and engineering team where we helped teachers deliver high-quality feedback to their students.
📣 In 2018, I started speaking at conferences and created CFP Land as a side project to help technology professionals find opportunities to speak.
📝 In 2020, I left my role at The Graide Network to start my own company, Draft.dev. My team and I create technical marketing content for software companies.
