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.

I love to solve problems. I'm never happier than when I can dig into a problem and find a solution to make somebody's life a little bit better. That's the great thing about software development - it's all about solving people's problems. When I'm away from my desk you'll probably find me running the streets of Cambridge or relaxing with a nice pint of beer.

Simply put, I enjoy people. Every interaction holds the potential for something special to occur. There is no hiding that Buffer is an amazingly powerful and useful tool. 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! When away from Buffer, you would probably find me rolling around with my kids, hanging out with my lovely wife, or with my nose in a book.

Joined May, 2018

I was born and raised in Canada and moved to California after university to work in Silicon Valley. After over a decade in California my husband and I decided to move to beautiful Colorado to start the next chapter of our lives raising a family. I was drawn to Buffer because the values and culture really resonated with me, and because I was intrigued by the flexibility and diversity that a fully remote company can offer. As an engineering manager I'm looking forward to helping cultivate that culture while helping teams and individuals grow and succeed, all the while delighting our wonderful customers!

I grew up south of Seattle, and lived in Colorado and Kentucky before moving to the Bay Area with my girlfriend, two horses and dog, Riley. In my spare time you’ll find me on horse back, meditating, hiking or traveling around the world in search of good music and amazing people. After being an adoring fan of Buffer’s culture and values for so many years, I am incredibly honored and grateful to now be part of such an inspiring team!

I live in Porto, a charming city in Portugal, I hold a degree in Economics and I’ve worked in Marketing and Growth Hacking (that was when I started using Buffer). I discovered my passion for Front-End when I became Project Manager and I’ve been happily coding since then. When I’m not turning sugar into code with this amazing team, I’m hanging with my cats and hubby, doing DIY projects or organising themed parties.

I’m a writer turned engineer, a wonderer and a wanderer, anti-cheesecake activist & blackgirl.tech's mum (a non-profit to encourage Black women/non-binary people into coding). I love music and constantly mourn my inability to play the piano or sing; however, I write and have had two published pamphlets, winning an award for one, Lost & Found.

I am a cheerful Spaniard enjoying life together with my life partner and two young ninjas. Currently based in Maastricht, we are embarked in a slow-travel adventure that brought us to 8 different cities and villages since 2005. Joining the Buffer journey has been an amazing experience: I get to work everyday on a great product, together with a talented and joyful team, guided by a strong vision and values. When I am not writing code, you may find me laughing with family and friends, reading, playing Ultimate Frisbee or exploring our wonderful planet.

I’m excited and grateful to be a part of the Buffer team! After graduating college, I began a journey that has taken me to a startup in Boston, the roads of Nepal, user engagement in Puerto Rico, and then back to the Nashville area where I grew up. When I am not writing code, you may find me exploring new places, reading, and being outdoors.

I'm originally from Gibraltar, but have spent most my life living in England. I'm a father to 2 wonderful children, a husband to an amazing wife, and an engineer when those other roles aren't actively being attended to. I've always loved coding, breaking things to rebuild them, solving problems, and working with great people. However when I'm not busy doing all those things I love to sing, read, and explore this wonderful world beside my family.

I'm delighted to be a part of the Buffer family and work alongside amazing individuals who truly do live by our values❤️. I'm originally from Atlanta but currently residing in Denver with my pup Marley 🐶(who is really the star of the show!). When not online, you can find Marley and me (pun 😂) hiking the nearest trail, binge-watching anime, or eating peanut butter straight from the jar 😂.
