At Ionic he hired and led teams, increased release velocity eightfold, and collaborated directly with Chromium, Gecko, and WebKit teams to isolate browser bugs affecting millions. His open-source contributions include significant work on Ionic Framework, Ionicons, and interactive component documentation, often adding demo-driven examples and modernizing E2E tests.

Based in Boston, he prefers to stay put for now and is not seeking new roles.
