Wade started coding in middle school — Pascal scripts for MUD games running over telnet. That early obsession with making computers do interesting things never really stopped.
Over the past two decades, he's worked his way through some of the most influential developer-focused companies in tech — from Microsoft and Salesforce to Twilio, Rapid, Foursquare, and now DigitalOcean — always gravitating toward the work of making developers' lives better and building platforms that scale.
Spare Mile Studio is where he builds for himself — a space to ship things that scratch real itches without the overhead of a larger organization.
When not shipping code, Wade is out on trails. He coaches ultrarunners and competes himself — a discipline that blends systematic thinking with raw physical challenge. VibeWriter exists because of this world.
