In April 2025 I launched monkeys.zip, which is my most popular project (yet).

Before that, I worked at Google for 8 wonderful years - where I learned a lot about how to make software using Google tooling and infrastructure.

Before that, I worked at BlackRock for 6 months - where I learned that employers don't like when you leave after 6 months.

Throughout that time, I worked on many side projects, the vast majority have never seen the light of day because I was afraid of putting myself out there, and I'm trying to make up for that now.
