๐Ÿ‘‹Hey, I'm MylesI like to solve problems with technology

I'm a software developer, serial hobbyist, and former founder. Most recently, I was the technical co-founder at Persy AI, an app that used professional network data and AI to write contextual content for outbound sales teams.

Before Persy, I co-founded Emergence Labs, a Salesforce partner focused on custom development projects for mid-sized businesses. Emergence Labs' client base was transitioned to SkyVenn in 2021.

About Me

Lets get to know each other

I grew up in Vancouver, where I fell in love with the mountains, especially skiing and hiking. After spending most of the last decade living and working in Toronto, I've been drawn back to Vancouver, swapping the TTC for the BCMC.

Lately I've been interested in the psychology of learning and metaphysics.
