Since starting Buffer from my bedroom in the UK, it's been incredibly fun to build it into a powerful social media tool used by hundreds of thousands of people. We're also trying to create one of the most interesting and fulfilling places to work, so I spend a lot of my time thinking about company culture. My work is split between growing the company and working with the team on all areas of product, engineering and customer happiness. I also love to exercise, travel, and help other startup founders.

I feel truly grateful anytime a customer reaches out to us because it gives us an opportunity to learn something about our product or simply talk to someone really darn cool. I love the warm-fuzzies that come from helping people use Buffer in a more awesome way. Besides Buffer coworkers and customers, the things that make me happy usually include a sport (tennis, lacrosse, frisbee, you name it) or a very hot tea with honey.

What I didn't fully realize is that Buffer is surrounded by such an amazing community of users and such an astoundingly awesome team. And, each day, I have the privilege to wake up and interact with both. It can't get any better!

I've always had a passion for software development and startups. For me making products from scratch, improving existing ones, and living in constant change are ingredients that makes me thrive and enjoy what I am doing. About two years ago I remember having encountered a post from Buffer's Open blog about Transparency and values that blew my mind. I felt so aligned with what was written there that I knew I wanted to be part of that. Now that I have the privilege of working with this amazing group of people, I can say that is way better that I imagined and I'm so grateful for that. Moreover, of all the technologies I've had the pleasure to work with I've always had a crush on Apple products and technologies. So having the opportunity to combine both of these passions is more than a dream come true to me.

I'm so excited to be here working with humans who inspire me every day. I'm constantly amazed by the Buffer family & community, and love learning from all of you! I come from a interdisciplinary background of International Studies, Spanish, Int'l Business & Economics, with a pull towards doing what's right. Outside of delivering happiness, I'm endlessly snuggling with my soulmate pup Zora, traveling, diving into new cultures and exploring the Philly tech scene! I've found Buffer has captured my heart with its mix of values, startup philosophy and mindfulness 😍

So thrilled to be a part of this Buffer journey moving forward. 😄 Watching this company progress, working with the Happiness team has always been a goal of mine. 🙂 It's been truly inspiring following Buffer and its cultural values, explored in blog posts, and couldn’t imagine a better working environment; so grateful for all my teammates in making this come true! Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I've been going with the flow after a 1 year snowboard trip to Austria turned into 5 years of living in Europe, now in Lisbon, Portugal. My previous experience includes a Masters in Int'l Business from Grenoble, France followed by 3 years in the London startup world working to empower independent small businesses in leveraging online tools! Outside of Buffer you'll most likely find me snowboarding, surfing, coaching basketball whenever I'm back in Vancity, or relaxing with a great book, enjoying a good filter coffee. :) It's been a blast delivering happiness to all our users so far, and am pumped to continue supporting our amazing customers moving forward! 🙌

Working at Buffer is a dream come true for me! I've been working on the web for over 10 years and I've never been in a more exciting or fulfilling job. I work mostly on the front-end, wrangling JavaScript (React, Backbone, and a healthy dose of vanilla.) and CSS (Less) — but also do some design as well. I love reading, learning new things, and meeting new people, but most of all I love spending time with my wife and 1 year old son. Hit me up on Twitter and say hello! :)

Since I know Buffer, I've fallen in love with its culture and values. Working with such talented team inspires me every day to improve. Passionate about Machine Learning, I like to solve problems with data. In my free time, I love to read tech blogs, geek out with my friends or play music covers with an old guitar.

I work on customer acquisition and growth here at Buffer, currently with a focus on conversion optimization. I've been a huge fan of Buffer's values and transparency since I first heard about the company in 2012, and I couldn't imagine a better working environment 😻 I feel super lucky because not only do I get to work on a product I’ve used for years and gotten a ton of value from, but I get to do it with an amazing group of people who are always learning and striving to improve each day. So cool 😄 As of now, I’m learning JavaScript, Node.js, and Handlebars.js, which has been such a rewarding process 🔥

It's awesome to be working with such an inspiring and distributed team, working at Buffer has been an amazing journey so far! I'm currently working as an Android Engineer in our Android team, helping to ensure all our Android users are feeling the Android love ❤️ When I'm not coding you'll find me writing, public speaking, exploring somewhere new with my girlfriend, playing Bass guitar in my band or running!

I was born in Kansas City and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. Half way though high school my family moved to a farm in Blakesburg Iowa. I learned how to raise cattle and tend to crops. After that I studied Electrical Engineering at the University Of Iowa and found my way into a physics lab working on black hole imagery satellites for NASA. I caught the startup bug and moved to the valley (of Silicon of course!) and worked at Apple and a couple of startups. Now I'm back in Chicago! In no particular order some jobs I've held: buffet cook, farmer, bag boy (grocery store), software engineer, lifeguard and touring drummer.

I adore helping people. Empowering Buffer's incredible customers while working alongside kind, insanely intelligent teammates gives me such joy! I could not be more grateful to be part of a company with such incredible values and a culture that is truly like being part of a large family. Outside of Buffer, I'm parenting three wonderful boys, spending time with my amazing husband, gaming, birding and photographing Montana's mountains, lakes and forests.
