FULL STACK ENGINEER

Tyler
Doss

👨‍🍳 California native and adventure seeker. Tyler loves to hike, fish, run, and BBQ when he’s not indoors.

He’s not great with spicy food, (though determined to not let it beat him) however he’s a super solid engineer. He enjoys tackling tough problems and coming up with creative ways to solve them.

DIRECTOR OF ANALYTICS & BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS

Scott
Burns

👼 He studied why some countries get wealthier—now he’s applying academic insights to help American families reach their financial goals.

Scott met Uri at Harvard’s Kennedy School. After a time managing emerging market investments, he rejoined him in California to start what we now know as Twine.

UX DESIGNER & RESEARCHER

Jonathan
Hung

💪 Jon marvels at the absurd and complicated things people say they wish existed. Like who decided to make pistachio an ice cream flavor?

In his spare time Jon loves to rock climb, play video games and explore the live music scene in San Francisco.

MOBILE ENGINEER

Ian
Luo

🌶️ Ian has been going to Burning Man for twice as long as he’s been coding. And he’s been coding for a long time.

It’s nice to have someone “cool” on the Twine team. Ian is very generous with his Spotify playlists and PR reviews.

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Uri
Pomerantz

🚀In the fintech school of karate, Uri is a black belt. He’s worked to expand access to financial services since college—from founding a mideast micro-lender to building a VC in Sierra Leone.

Sometimes, he even sleeps (but dreams of Twine). He refuses to eat lunch without Sriracha involved.

SENIOR DESIGNER

Stephanie
Briones

🎉 It’s important to have exactly one perfectionist on a design team. Stephanie is our perfectionist.

Stephanie grew up playing Super Mario 3 and attending 4-H. Not much has changed. She still plays games (on a computer she built herself) and goes hiking on the weekends.

DIRECTOR OF DESIGN

Cassidy
Clawson

🌵 What is design? Solving problems for users? Crafting memorable experiences? The careful organization of lines and letters?

Cassidy hasn’t been the same since he saw a UFO in Sedona, Arizona. His favorite shape is the triangle.

LEAD ENGINEER

Michael
Boardman

🤖 Michael joins Twine after a decade of work on robots and secret space stuff.

He is equal parts fancy and nice. You’ll probably find Michael at an artisanal cheese tasting — and you’ll definitely find Michael when you need help with your dev environment.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MANAGER

Kevin
Yarbrough

🏍️ Through his years of customer service and product development, Kevin has helped make countless users feel at home.

He’s a big hockey fan (and a middling hockey player), a Bay-Area native, and when he’s not at work, he’s probably motorcycling by the ocean.

SENIOR FULL-STACK ENGINEER

Bill
Kaufman

👓 “Hey Bill, what programming languages do you know?” — “All of them.”

Bill was a nerd before nerds were cool. He came to California to study at UC Berkeley and has ridden the tech booms ever since. He’s excited to work on a product that helps people (and involves complex math).

TEAM OPERATIONS MANAGER

Nahyun
Kim

🐶 At Twine, your favorite snack is always in stock. Your video conference link always works. It’s not magic—it’s Nahyun.

When not at at her desk with her guardian pet “Dino”, Nahyun is probably strolling the streets of San Francisco. She says hi to every dog she passes.

Arun
Agrahri

💡Obsessed with creating simple, pain reliever products (especially in mobile, email, messaging platforms). In his free time, he likes to read and explore the city with friends and family.

Arun has been the CFO of the family but never got serious until he read the book “A random walk down wall street”.

When his nose isn’t in a book, Kai can be spotted exploring his new home in the Bay Area.
