## Work Experience
### Senior Software Development Engineer @ eero / Amazon
Jan 2019 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States
I have been a key member of eero Cloud development since the beginning of the company. I tackle hard problems, design and program elegant solutions, and consistently push projects through to completion. I collaborate with anybody and everybody to discover great solutions for our customers. I mentor other software engineers emotionally and professionally, often with variations on the same theme, "Can it be clearer? Can it be simpler?"

A few of the notable products I have developed at eero are:

* X509 Certificate based authentication between eero devices and the cloud, providing a secure and safe foundation for the eero platform.
* IoT command delivery, letting eero customers control their home networks using the app from anywhere in the world.
* A complete end-to-end Secure Boot management system, securely signing and installing firmware on eero devices in the factory and in remote over the air updates.
* Continuous realtime connections between eero devices and the eero Cloud, enabling interactions to be delivered within milliseconds.
