About

Hello! ☺️ I’m Leif. I work as an Engineering Manager at Ghost.

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 — guitar, drums, piano —, but I'm not particularly skilled at any one of them. I do enjoy them, though. I also like photography.

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 Unlocked podcast.
