I live in Brooklyn, New York. I'm originally from Melbourne, Australia via Sydney and a few other places.

I am the SVP of Engineering at Convergint. Previously, I was CTO at Smartrr, SVP of Engineering at Sotheby's, VP of Engineering at Timber, Glitch, CTO in residence at Microsoft, founder and CTO at Empatico, CTO at Kickstarter, VP of Services at Docker, VP of Engineering at Venmo, and VP Tech Operations for Puppet Labs. I have also published eleven technical books.

My interests include cooking, wine, tattoos, political theory, photojournalism, philosophy, poetry. I enjoy good conversation, laughter, reading, music, and my cats. Things that piss me off are jingoism, bad grammar, violence and cucumber.
