Current Work

I'm currently focused on two main areas: building custom software solutions as a freelance developer and operating a seasonal business that sells and installs holiday lighting in the Kansas City Metro area.

My work spans from technical problem-solving to hands-on business operations, giving me a unique perspective on both the development and business sides of technology.

Why Sourcegraph?

Thorsten Ball's writing about programming, and lately AI in particular, stands out as a source of truth in a vast ocean of noise. I've spent too much time in my .zshrc file because of his How Fast Is Your Shell? post. I noticed when Thorsten left Sourcegraph to work at Zed and then returned, it told me something important about your leadership - they respect employees, and genuinely want them to succeed. Thorsten's experience sounds amazing. I want to contribute to a company like that with people like that.

Sourcegraph builds great software I'm excited about. I've been using AMP recently. After using several other agentic coding tools, AMP made me say "that's so cool!". I think you've struck a great balance between power and simplicity. It's right there in the editor, but it's not distracting or in the way.

I can sell. When I started Great Plains Painting I had to learn quickly. In 5 months I sold about $350k of projects, the next year I sold ~$750k, and by year three we were selling around $900k/year as I built and managed a small sales team.

I'm also a problem solver, and as I focused more on operations, I started to build tools that impressed me and my team. For Tis the Season, Angela was manually creating hundreds of invoices each month. I built a workflow that sends our Airtable data to QuickBooks. Now, Angela creates hundreds of invoices and sends them to customers with a single button press in under 5 seconds.

I can combine my technical understanding with my sales experience to excel in the Account Executive role at Sourcegraph.
