Late 2025

Senior Eng Manager at Built Technologies, a Series D at the intersection of fintech and construction tech working on the hard problems around how construction gets funded and business gets done in real estate, aka lets build more housing in this country so anyone can afford a home.

My current specific focus is on commercial real estate asset management software. Risk management and opportunity assessment around cash flows, rent rolls and aggregated capital allocation. We're building agentic systems for both data ingestion and insight development. Boring industry to a lot of people. I'm having a ton of fun.

Personal life: We're still in Portland, Oregon, going on 16 years now. California still beckons long term, but in the meantime Portland remains a great place to be, despite what you may have heard.

This year's big trip was Middle and East Tennessee, including the Great Smokies National Park and back to Asheville and possibly my favorite brewery in the world.

What's exciting to me right now: AI and LLMs and building agentic software, of course. Which requires teasing out the good from both the doom and the hype. Like a lot of things today, I find the accessibility of so many brilliant viewpoints on the socials fascinating, with the amplification of the extreme views that happens on there being the price you pay so such access to well thought out points of view. Looking forward to seeing what happens long term as we figure out how to use LLM-based systems to write (hopefully) better and (certainly) more code than ever.
