About
I’m a senior software engineer in the CTO’s office at Fivetran.
Previously, I was an early engineer at Atlan where I built the metadata sync and lineage generation platforms. Joined at under $500k ARR, left at $80M.
This website is a record of my work, talks, projects, musings, curiosities and research. In my free time I love to write, read, cycle, travel and go on bike rides. I love to nerd out on knowledge graphs, fountain pens and street photography.
I’ve written a longer introduction here if you’re interested :)
