👋 Hi, I'm Ian. I’m the Head of Product at Check. Before that I worked as a Software Engineer and Engineering Manager at AppNexus in New York City. I studied Computer Science and Jazz at Columbia University and grew up in Seattle, WA. In my free time, I love making music, playing basketball and ultimate frisbee, hiking, cooking, and building stuff on the web.

My favorite hobby is jazz piano. You can check out some of my recent musical projects below.
