Dylan Martin
Product-minded tech lead who builds things end-to-end: from user research to system design to shipping code. I care about solving the right problems, not just solving problems right.
Outside work, I'm a ski bum, rock climber, amateur powerlifter, wine midwit, jazz pianist, occasional DJ, and aspiring polyglot.
