After 11 incredible years with Progress Software, it's time for a new chapter.
During my time at Progress, I had the opportunity to help shape the future of web user experiences. I helped launch Telerik UI for Blazor, led modernization initiatives across our UI component libraries, and worked alongside talented teams focused on building tools that empower developers to create exceptional applications.
Over the last two years, my focus shifted toward AI and the evolving relationship between people and software. During that time, I developed a vision for how user interfaces can work alongside AI, exploring natural language interactions, speech technologies, and new ways for people to engage with applications. That work ultimately led me to where I am today.
Along the way, I came to an important realization: voice is becoming a new user interface.
Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and real-time conversational AI are creating more natural ways for people to interact with technology. These experiences reduce cognitive overhead, improve accessibility, and open new possibilities for users who have historically been underserved by traditional interfaces.
I'm deeply grateful to Progress Software for giving me the freedom to be creative, challenge assumptions, think outside the box, and tackle difficult problems in new ways. The opportunities, friendships, and experiences I've gained over the last decade have shaped both my career and perspective.
Today, I'm excited to share that I'm joining Deepgram as a Developer Advocate.
In this role, I'll be working with developers, partners, and the broader AI community to help build the next generation of applications powered by voice, AI, and real-time conversation.
This move feels like a natural progression of the work I've been passionate about over the last several years. As software evolves from graphical interfaces to conversational experiences, we're entering a new era of human-computer interaction; one that is more natural, more accessible, and more human.
I'm excited to help shape what comes next. If you're learning or building agentic apps, connect with me here and share what you're working on.
