I’m a mentor and coach, passionate about helping others unlock their full potential. Whether someone works for me, with me, near me, or simply reaches out for a conversation, I aim to remove barriers and provide guidance that empowers them to grow.
Speaker & Conference Presenter
I speak at a lot of conferences. If you’re here for that, check out my speaker bio and headshot page. Yes, it’s a little self-serving—but let’s be honest, you came to a website named after me, so you probably expected that. Plus, it’s pretty useful when juggling multiple speaking engagements.
Seattle GiveCamp
I run a nonprofit called Seattle GiveCamp, where we help nonprofits with their technical needs. While most people see the big three-day hackathon we host each year, the work goes far beyond that. Seattle GiveCamp is a year-round passion project, supporting nonprofits throughout the year and culminating in a weekend event where dozens of organizations and hundreds of volunteers come together.
We’re looking forward to being back in person, but over the past couple of years, we’ve had great success helping nonprofits remotely. If you’re interested in getting involved, reach out!
My Work at Microsoft
By day, I’m an architect at Microsoft. Over the past 18 years, I’ve held a variety of roles across the globe, helping to shape technology and drive innovation.
