Head of Engineering @ Railway
Engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building and scaling platforms that power millions of developers. I believe software is fundamentally changing the world, and the infrastructure we build to ship it matters deeply.
I've spent my career at the intersection of platform engineering and operations — from co-founding a web hosting startup in the early internet days, to scaling some of the most influential developer platforms in the industry. I've built teams from the ground up, designed infrastructure that handles massive scale, and shipped systems that developers rely on every day.
At Railway, I'm helping build the cloud computing stack that reduces shipping friction to zero — so developers can focus on what actually matters. Previously, I helped scale GitHub's infrastructure from bare metal to their first production data center, watched Heroku grow from 60,000 apps to over 1.5 million, and built the operations team at 37signals that powered Basecamp, Campfire, and Highrise.
