I've spent nearly 25 years building software and leading product and engineering teams — from scrappy bootstrapped ventures to global public companies. 

Through successes, failures, and a lot of learning, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside world-class engineers, creatives, and leaders. That experience taught me what truly moves the progress needle: helping teams and people cut through the noise and align around shared context and meaningful work.

Today, I’m channeling that into Steady — an AI-native platform for coordinating digital teams without the overhead. Steady implements a set of open-source principles I helped develop called Continuous Coordination. Steady is a modern, human-first approach to work that aligns people with real-time context and helps teams deliver better and faster — without burnout.
