I co-founded SpecStory in November 2024 because I believe intent is the new source code.
Read my white paper Beyond Code-Centric that lays out the case.
Before that I was the Chief Product Officer at Pluralsight. And previously was at GitHub, Dropbox and Google.

I work primarily with TypeScript and Python for most development projects, Swift for mobile applications, SQL for data management, and historically R for statistical analysis and data science workflows.
Most of the code I write these days is done w/ Claude Code, Bearclaude or Cursor. I save my AI chats and build contextual knowledge representations with SpecStory Extensions.
