I’m a seasoned software engineer, tech executive, and entrepreneur. My goal and passion is simple: I love building delightful software. I’m currently a Principal Software Engineer at posit, but have formerly been the CTO and co-founder at Estimize (acquired by Extract Alpha), the VP of Engineering at KidZui (acquired by Leap Frog), and minion at Google. I always prefer being a hands-on individual contributor, but am comfortable in management and product leadership roles, including assembling and guiding teams of engineers and challenging everyone to build for simplicity, no matter how complex the problem. You can often find me around the internet under the moniker lytol.
