I’m a software engineer based in Seattle. I work at OpenAI on making GPUs do useful things. I like building products, obsessing over UX and little details, and connecting the dots. In the past I cofounded Secta AI, worked at Replit and Facebook building mobile apps, developer efficiency tools, React Native, Oculus and Messenger. I write about technology and side projects.
