In highschool I started playing and recording music which led me to an art school where I studied audio engineering. After a short stint editing audio for commercials, I ended up at an AV/IT company that built custom hardware and software systems for mega yachts. I started as a technician and did a bit of everything: wiring server racks, installing and configuring VSAT satellites, configuring VLANs on switches, and debugging control system code with remote SWEs. The latter was my introduction to software. We were effectively building home automation software with touchpanels, on mega yachts, back before iPads existed. Automation to control lights, music, HVAC, cameras, etc on custom touchscreens. I spent nights and weekends learning python to supplement the limited C++ I’d picked up on the job. I eventually transitioned to the software team fulltime.

A few years later around 2014, I joined an ecommerce startup and have been working on cloud software since then.

Learned about Bitcoin in 2017. Got hooked in 2020. Interested in building tools and products that bring Bitcoin and Lightning to more people.
