The choice to leave Netflix wasn’t an easy one to make; I’ve enjoyed being an early part of the HTML TV UI team, which creates streaming applications for gaming consoles, TVs, and other consumer electronic devices. They do great work there, plus having everything built on top of web technologies is simply awesome.

The question, of course, is why PayPal (again) and the answer is simple: I find payments interesting and think that the mobile and web commerce spaces still have a considerable amount of room left for growth. My team’s focus will be to enable this growth and push on the boundaries of both the product and UI architecture to spur innovation. I’m excited about the opportunity and to be working with their teams again!

Wish me luck, and if you’re an UI engineer and interested in talking don’t hesitate to reach out to me!
