PRODUCT THINKING. DESIGN SENSIBILITY. HANDS-ON DEVELOPMENT.

Strategy is nothing
without execution.
I do both.

I'm Lou. I've spent 20+ years figuring out what to build, how it should work, and how to bring it to life. Along the way, I've worked as a product manager, designer, and developer.

A career in three strands

2005 → Today

20+ years
making technology.

One career, three accumulated disciplinesProduct is the original focus. Development branches from Product and becomes the main focus during Build. Design later branches independently from the Product trunk and becomes the main focus; Development remains active. Today, Product leads again, with Design and Development continuing alongside it. Line weight indicates emphasis, not a measured quantity. Company logos mark the career stages: Sonicbids at Early product; NPR and Red Bull at Product; Record Clerk at Build; Crown Castle spans Build and Design; Proofpoint at Today.01Early product02Product03Build04Design05TodayProductDevelopmentDesign

Performance / Recording / Collaboration

Same curiosity. Different instrument.

There’s music
in the mix.

When I'm not making software, I'm usually making noise. I've spent years playing drums, recording music, and collaborating with some incredibly talented people.
