What I Do
#

I am a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in Android and UI engineering. My career has been defined by a simple goal: building the things that help other developers build better things.

Currently, I am at The Trade Desk working on Ventura TV OS, a new operating system for the open internet.

You can find my resume here.

History
#

Before The Trade Desk, I spent time at Twitter leading the Client UI Android team, where I focused on the infrastructure and systems that power the Twitter Android app.

Prior to that, I was at Google in Developer Relations. If you were an Android developer during that era, you likely used some of the code I worked on, specifically the Android Support Libraries (now called AndroidX), including AppCompat, the Design Support Library, and Palette.

Open Source
#

I believe in code that is visible and usable. My open-source work often serves as a playground for testing architectural ideas and UI patterns. Including:

  • Tivi: A TV show tracking app that serves as a practical example of modern Android development (Kotlin, Coroutines, Room, etc.).
  • Haze: A library for bringing glass/blur effects to Compose Multiplatform.
