About me

I'm an AI Developer Advocate at Microsoft and GitHub. My day-to-day is helping developers build and modernize applications with tools like GitHub Copilot — through hands-on workshops, conference talks, and open-source contributions.

I speak regularly at conferences like JavaOne, DevNexus, JDConf, and Microsoft Build. I was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Seattle, and have been featured in GeekWire and KOMO News for work at the intersection of technology and community impact.

Outside of work, I contribute to open-source projects like LangChain4j and Spring AI. I spend a lot of time mentoring students, advising early-stage founders, and generally trying to make developer tools less painful.
