I build platforms that connect creators with music. At Uppbeat and Music Vine, I'm shaping the tools that help millions of content creators and professionals find the perfect soundtrack for their work.
I've been through a startup acquisition, worked directly with artists to grow their online presence, and now lead teams making music and art accessible to everyone.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me hunting down rare trading cards or deep in an RTS campaign.
