What I'm Building

Turning firsthand experience into a solution

Founder & CEO January 2025 - Present

The Problem

Every home has a story: maintenance records, warranties, renovation history, appliance manuals. But that knowledge disappears when someone moves. Homeowners are left digging through filing cabinets or guessing when the furnace was last serviced.

The Solution

Dib is an AI-powered home management assistant. A digital home memory that remembers everything about your home so you don't have to. Chat with Dib to instantly find information, get maintenance reminders, track your home inventory, and store important documents, all in one place.

Why Me

After flipping houses with my wife and dad, I realized this tool needed to exist. I've personally managed renovation projects and know the pain of lost information firsthand. Combined with a decade building scalable infrastructure at Slack, I understand both the domain and how to build AI-powered technology that works.

About Me

Builder with a track record of execution at scale

I've been building things on the internet since high school, when I started mywoot.net and ran it through college to help pay tuition. That early experience managing Linux servers and configuring load balancers sparked a career in infrastructure that's now spanned over a decade.

I helped build and maintain systems that enabled Slack to scale from 100,000 daily active users to more than 8 million. I bring a track record of advancing platform reliability, streamlining cloud architecture, and partnering with engineering organizations to accelerate developer velocity.

After flipping houses with my family, I realized every home's story disappears when someone moves. That's why I started Dib, an AI-powered home management assistant that remembers everything about your home so you don't have to. As Founder and CEO, I handle everything from technical architecture to fundraising and customer acquisition.
