Hi there! I'm a software engineer currently building OSS at Apollo GraphQL where I work on @apollo/client.

Before that I worked on the web platform at Venmo, and way before that I was an early employee at Breather where I worked for 5+ years, first in Montreal and then in NYC.

I blog occasionally and am a proud Recurser 🐙

I'm open to

beta testing new products.
