PostHog works in small teams. The Replay team is responsible for building session replay.

(Shockingly, this team prefers their pizza without pineapple.)

  I've always wanted to solve problems. So, I studied biochemistry. And discovered I am not a biochemist. During and after university, I played in several bands. Without changing the world of music. And fell into a job in I.T. support. For several years I managed I.T. for The British Mountaineering Council. I taught myself to program. Studied an MSc in Computer Science part-time. And discovered that writing software is how I love solving problems.

  I'm half Italian. When I was young I refused to learn to speak Italian. Ma sto imparando ora! To make amends I've been learning to make Neapolitan style pizza and getting pretty good.

  There is a worrying link between the number of programming languages I've used and the number of children I've had. For a while, I was saying I had five children. Until someone pointed out I was counting the dog. My labrador retriever Yoko is - as measured by photos taken - my favourite child.

  Since becoming a software engineer full-time. I've worked at software agencies. At a startup, building Google Analytics for the physical world (which was like magic when it worked). And spent several fulfilling years leading teams at Co-op Digital. I think in diagrams and draw on tables. And I am never happier than in the moments after I have managed to figure out how to make something simpler.

  I work pretty hard to remember you can work hard and still have fun.

  Product Manager

  Believe it or not, my first job included writing exciting marketing campaigns for robotic handling systems. (It wasn’t that exciting.) So I ended up moving to London in 2019 to study for an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction at UCL. (Way more exciting.) My plan was to land a job in a startup after graduating, which, through a bit of ‘hustling’ (Sigma Squared Summit, Voyagers, Kickstart London) and being in the right place at the right time actually worked out.

  After graduating, I joined an early-stage startup called Caura, where I first had the title of a Product Designer and later on, that of a Product Manager. Titles aside, what motivates me most in my work is talking to users about what they want, uncovering what they actually mean by that and then building something they didn’t even think they needed.

  I joined PostHog in autumn 2022, arguably the most exciting step in my career so far.

  What else? On weekends, I hang out with friends, try to make a dent in my ever growing reading list or learn something new. My family is from the Black Forest region in Germany, so I spend a couple of weeks every year working from there, going on lots of countryside walks and eating Black Forest gateau.

  Born in the USSR, I first touched a computer in 1993—an Intel 486 running DOS. In high school, my brother and I got our first shared personal PC, an Intel Pentium 166. Spent hours playing Fallout and Heroes of Might and Magic. Then one day, I went to a bookstore to buy a book on “how to program games.” Haven’t played games much since.

  In 2012, I became a digital nomad. I wrote a book, Digital Nomad Life: Ultimate Guide, which got featured in Portuguese news. Since then, I’ve traveled to 46 countries and lived in 7 of them. Recently, I moved from the Netherlands to Hungary.

  In 2020, I wanted to learn about AI, so I decided to build a “Vivino but for coffee.” That project brought me into the world of specialty coffee, and just a couple of years later, I found myself picking coffee in the mountains of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

  In total, I’ve built 20+ projects, failing at most of them. One of them, AI business plan generator, led me to discover PostHog. I loved it from day one and even built a few things on top of it just for fun.

  Now, I own way more coffee tools than I need. I’m training for an Ironman and still dreaming of integrating my Raspberry Pi into a coffee machine.
