Engineering Manager

I’m currently an engineer at Stripe working on Stripe Capital! Previously, I worked at Goldman Sachs on the Marquee team, an internal startup focused on building trading products/trading strategy distribution for the Securities Division. I graduated from Wake Forest University with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Entrepreneurship. I enjoy spicy foods (I once ate the world's hottest sauce), my favorite season is Winter, and I have an affinity for anything with wheels. I'm from Washington, D.C., but I've lived in both London and New York. However, my favorite city is Stockholm, Sweden. If I had to choose 3 languages to use for the rest of my life, they would be Python, C++, and Erlang (call me crazy). I love learning new languages, especially functional ones as of late. I'm an OS X evangelist and really anything Unix of the sort. Unsurprisingly, Homebrew is my favorite open source project. I believe in utterly simply designs and sheer minimalism. I treat my code style as a form of art (4 spaces, not tabs). When I'm not bossing computers around, you can find me reposting new music on SoundCloud, building things out of wood, or getting lost on my bike.
