About

Hello, I'm the Founder & CEO of HackerNoon, where 4M+ monthly readers come to read the quality tech blogs. We're a small team of editors, software developers, and startup people working to publish the best posts and build the best publishing software. Before HackerNoon, I was a newspaper reporter at my hometown paper in Pennsylvania, studied economics and non-fiction writing in California, then spent four years at SmartRecruiters. I joined as an intern reporting to the CEO, left as Content Marketing Director after building the SmartRecruiters blog into a 400+ blogger network. It was like a masterclass in San Francisco go-to-market work from pre-seed to unicorn status. A decade-plus into HackerNoon, I hope we’ve made the internet a little better! HackerNoon's entirely free library is 150k+ stories about #programming, #startups, #cryptocurrency, #ai, #javascript, #bitcoin, #web-development, #entrepreneurship, and everything else #technology. Our flagship product is the content management system (CMS) that powers HackerNoon.com. It's built for technologists to read, write, learn, and publish. All for free: no paywalls, no popups, no needless pixels. Just quality technology blogs, arti
