I originally studied Philosophy at Duke, then entered the software development profession shortly after graduating in 2007.

In 2008, my wife and I joined WorldTeach and spent the year teaching English in Namibia. It’s a beautiful country with many wonderful cultures, and I would recommend it to anyone.

In 2009 we returned to the States, where I began work at a trading firm in Philadelphia. Eventually we moved to San Francisco in 2010, where I entered the Software Engineering program at CMU Silicon Valley.

While at CMU I also worked at ThoughtWorks, a software consultancy full of amazing people. I later worked at Cardpool, an online exchange for pre-paid gift cards.

At Google, I currently work on the Ads Review team.
