Over the last twenty-something years I have shipped products end to end, from design and user experience to database schemas, and lived the full startup arc, first raise to final fold.

I have been writing code since 1997 and using Git since 2008. At Hi-ReS! I led engineering on campaigns for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Darren Aronofsky's Noah, Chanel, and Dolce & Gabbana. I built Feeld's backend from the ground up and watched it scale past two million users. I wrote the first SDK for Ethfinex, a non-custodial exchange built on the 0x protocol. I co-founded Aluna, a BitMEX-backed social trading terminal where traders broadcast their positions and copied each other's trades. Since then I have been shipping multi-chain EVM applications.

In my spare time I created nowhere.chat, a location-based public chat room, live on the App Store.

You can find me at hems.io or on LinkedIn.
