Prior to founding Warp in 2020, spent roughly eight years at Google as a Principal Engineer, where he led the Google Sheets team and was a tech lead for Google Docs. After leaving Google, co-founded and served as CTO of SelfMade, a photo-editing startup that raised $11M before shutting down — an experience he later wrote about publicly in a candid postmortem that informed his approach to building Warp. That postmortem led to a set of operating principles he brought to Warp: hiring only product-obsessed people, documenting every process, and building pure software rather than services. Warp started as a Rust-based, AI-native terminal and has since evolved into the Agentic Development Environment (Warp 2.0), a platform for running multiple parallel AI agents from the command line.
