I’m currently the Founder and CEO of Warp, where we are building a modern Rust-based terminal. I used to be a Principal engineer at Google, running the Google Sheets team. Post-Google I was the Co-Founder and CTO of the venture-backed startup SelfMade, and the interim CTO at TIME.

We are passionate about making a more usable, humane and, ultimately, more powerful CLI for developers and their teams.

We are a company run by developers, building a core product for all developers. That's great because we can use our product as we build it, and we build what solves our problems.

We are product-first engineers, which means we are constantly focusing on the user-experience, and make all of our engineering choices with the goal of building the best product we can for our users.

We believe we will ultimately build the best product and business if that team includes developers from a wide range of backgrounds.
