I'm an entrepreneur and engineer passionate about building transformative technology companies. From scaling Airbnb to co-founding Mesosphere/D2iQ, I share insights on startup building, engineering and product leadership, and the entrepreneurial journey.

Recent Highlights

I co-founded D2iQ (formerly Mesosphere), one of the pioneering companies in cloud native computing, after serving as Tech Lead at Airbnb where I helped scale the platform to millions of users worldwide.

Currently, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned through my Rocketship Howto guide and connecting with fellow entrepreneurs and engineers.

Personal interests: I enjoy making cocktails (see my recipes), exploring the outdoors, and working toward my goals of visiting all seven continents and sailing across an ocean.
