I am a co-founder of Credit Karma, a company dedicated to re-engineering one of the largest industries in the world – consumer finance. Credit Karma’s mission is to help consumers have a better future by simplifying decision-making and management of personal credit and finances. Credit Karma has scaled aggressively to become a major disruptor of the consumer finance industry, today valued in the billions with around 40 million members. As Chief Technology Officer, I designed the engineering framework to support this growth. I manage a team that has grown from just me, to now include over 150 engineers and counting. Prior to joining Credit Karma, I worked for a small company that was acquired by IBM, where I subsequently spent a few years on search engines and enterprise software. I have a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology, a background in scalable systems and networks, and a lifelong passion for computer code and security.

CTO @ In my job as CTO, I stress agility and experimentation. My organization is composed of product engineering, infrastructure, information security, test engineering, platform architecture, dev ops, and IT / corporate services. Every one of those teams is staffed by a group of extraordinary and talented people that I am honored to work with, and learn something new from every day. I serve as constructive agitator, breaking down the traditional workplace hierarchies that can lead to internal inefficiencies and providing guidance and thought leadership to my teams. From July 2007 to Present (8 years 6 months)
