<p>In 2000 I co-founded Fog Creek Software, where we created lots of cool things like the <a href="https://fogbugz.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FogBugz bug tracker</a>, <a href="https://trello.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Trello</a>, and <a href="https://glitch.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Glitch</a>. I also worked with <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1/jeff-atwood">Jeff Atwood</a> to create <a href="https://stackoverflow.com">Stack Overflow</a> and served as CEO of Stack Overflow from 2010-2019.</p>

<p>Today I serve as the chairman of the board for Stack Overflow, Glitch, and <a href="https://hash.ai" rel="nofollow noreferrer">HASH</a>.</p>

<p>I served as a paratrooper in the Israeli army, graduated from Yale University in 1991, and spent time on the Excel team at Microsoft where I was the program manager responsible for the launch of VBA in Excel 5.0. I’ve also written four books, do a lot of Arduino stuff, and talk too much about Barry’s Bootcamp and Burning Man.</p>
