About

Hello! ☺️

I’m Leif, currently a Senior Engineering Manager at HERO Software.

I've previously worked at Automattic, iDoneThis, the University of Victoria, and a few other places. I’ve been a founder, a freelancer, and an employee; a developer, a researcher, a product manager, an engineering manager.

I care about language, writing, communication, and collaboration.

I play a few instruments, but I'm not particularly skilled at any one of them. I also enjoy photography a lot.

Here’s a silly and fun side project I built: Happy Commits, a Rails app that’s trying to find happiness in public GitHub commits. 

I’m always happy to chat. Send me an email! Or say hello on Twitter.

Shy? Listen to an interview with me on the Software Engineering Unlockedpodcast.
