PostHog works in small teams. The Replay team is responsible for building session replay.

(Shockingly, this team prefers their pizza without pineapple.)

  There's three things I love:

  1. Learning new things
  2. Applying them
  3. Doing something useful

  Software happens to tick all those boxes, so there's no wonder I enjoy coding.

  Before PostHog, I was at Bloomberg for ~2.5 years, before which I was studying Mathematics and Computing (ouch) at IIT Delhi. I've built a few fun projects, but one of my favourites is a crypto-currency I started in university that aimed to resolve the issues with Bitcoin. Even with a metric-tonne of funding, that didn't work out as expected, which clued me in to learn about non-technical skills and how startups work.

  When I'm not coding, I write my blog, which also not surprisingly, ticks all the boxes above. I've had more than a few posts reach the top of Hacker News, which is epic.

  When the above two exhaust me, I spend time travelling, bouldering, hiking, or dancing. Sometimes, I swim too, but the only stroke I know is the panic-stroke. Some other times, I spend time meeting interesting people on Twitter.

  Fun Fact: I usually find out about "current" affairs ~2-6 months after they happen. Yes, I learned about Brexit after it happened... ...It happened, right?

  I've always wanted to solve problems. So, I studied biochemistry. And discovered I am not a biochemist. During and after university, I played in several bands. Without changing the world of music. And fell into a job in I.T. support. For several years I managed I.T. for The British Mountaineering Council. I taught myself to program. Studied an MSc in Computer Science part-time. And discovered that writing software is how I love solving problems.

  I'm half Italian. When I was young I refused to learn to speak Italian. Ma sto imparando ora! To make amends I've been learning to make Neapolitan style pizza and getting pretty good.

  There is a worrying link between the number of programming languages I've used and the number of children I've had. For a while, I was saying I had five children. Until someone pointed out I was counting the dog. My labrador retriever Yoko is - as measured by photos taken - my favourite child.

  Since becoming a software engineer full-time. I've worked at software agencies. At a startup, building Google Analytics for the physical world (which was like magic when it worked). And spent several fulfilling years leading teams at Co-op Digital. I think in diagrams and draw on tables. And I am never happier than in the moments after I have managed to figure out how to make something simpler.

  I work pretty hard to remember you can work hard and still have fun.

  Believe it or not, my first job included writing exciting marketing campaigns for robotic handling systems. (It wasn’t that exciting.) So I ended up moving to London in 2019 to study for an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction at UCL. (Way more exciting.) My plan was to land a job in a startup after graduating, which, through a bit of ‘hustling’ (Sigma Squared Summit, Voyagers, Kickstart London) and being in the right place at the right time actually worked out.

  After graduating, I joined an early-stage startup called Caura, where I first had the title of a Product Designer and later on, that of a Product Manager. Titles aside, what motivates me most in my work is talking to users about what they want, uncovering what they actually mean by that and then building something they didn’t even think they needed.

  I joined PostHog in autumn 2022, arguably the most exciting step in my career so far.

  What else? On weekends, I hang out with friends, try to make a dent in my ever growing reading list or learn something new. My family is from the Black Forest region in Germany, so I spend a couple of weeks every year working from there, going on lots of countryside walks and eating Black Forest gateau.

  An aspiring biography writer who lacks inspiration...

  Having grown up in Ireland, I started learning to code towards the end of high school. I studied Computer & Electronic Engineering where I took courses in telecommunications, embedded systems and SOC. Realising a greater passion for software I was offered an internship at Intercom and never looked back at hardware again.

  Before PostHog, I was the founder of a Y Combinator company. We built 6 different products in 3.5 years before I eventually decided it was time for a change.

  Very sporty but also a foodie, my worst enemy is and always will be the scale.

  Quite a controversial Bio, yet unique, and ah, I do not think pineapple belongs on pizza.
