10+ years in startups working at the intersection of users and engineers.
First customer-facing hire at Pythagora (YC W24). Owned everything user facing: support, marketing, social media, documentation + READMEs, youtube demos, influencer campaigns, built full-stack demo applications, wrote blog posts, etc.
Before that, I spent 7 years at Streak (YC S11) doing technical support and internal tooling. I mentored teammates, ran 1:1s, led interviews and onboarding, and built automation workflows using SQL, BigQuery, APIs, and Zapier. I worked closely with product and engineering to shape roadmap decisions based on user feedback.
I thrive in early-stage environments working directly with founders, and I love getting hands-on with code.
