My work

M

I’ve never been very good at staying within a swim lane, I’m a generalist at heart. I’ve worked on a large variety of projects across a large variety of roles: engineer, engineering manager, product manager, marketer, researcher, and I currently lead marketing for Skyflow. This page contains a few examples of interviews, live streams, talks and publications.

A lot of my coding-related side projects are covered by various posts on this site. My GitHub page contains source for some of these.
