Hi, I'm Brian. I'm passionate about working with talented people to build amazing product experiences for customers. In my career, I've done everything from build directly, to lead teams building products, to managing teams of managers building products. After an almost decade-long journey that involved me selling Instapaper to Pinterest, becoming a Director of Engineering, and spinning Instapaper out of Pinterest, I'm back to building Instapaper full-time.Currently my career goals are around rebuilding my technical skillset, particularly with respect to Machine Learning, and exploring small-scale acquisitions.
