About
I am the Chief Technology Officer at Plaid and a co-investor at ASDF Ventures. I love building – and empowering others to do so effortlessly.
I live in San Francisco with my wife, daughter, and son. I have been lucky to call Boston, Chicago, Lausanne (Switzerland), Los Angeles, New York City, Paris (France), Santiago (Chile), and Shanghai (People’s Republic of China) home over the last four decades.
