What I Do

I've been building for the web since I was 8. These days that means anything from Go services and Kubernetes to the UI on top.

Before PostHog MCP, I worked on our AI Gateway and AI Observability. Outside work, I make open-source tools and software for tabletop gamers.

When I'm not coding, I'm being a dad 👶, walking my husky 🐶, or drinking coffee ☕️.
