Hey PH! Tim here, swapping my 14-year Apple badge for startup life (and embracing the chaos)

Remember that feeling when you realize you're spending more time talking about work than actually doing it? When your day becomes mostly @Slack archaeology and meeting Tetris? Yeah, that was me.

I spent 14 years at Apple—from watching Steve unveil the first iPhone as an intern to eventually leading wireless hardware teams across three continents on products like @Apple AirPods . The tech was incredible. The bureaucracy? Meh. By the end, I was spending more time managing communication about the work than actually doing the work.

Plot twist: My son was born the same week @ChatGPT by OpenAI launched. There I was, trying to juggle a newborn at 3am while simultaneously fielding Slack messages from my team in China. Something had to give (spoiler: it was a good chunk of my hair color).

That's when it clicked—if AI could write sonnets and debug code, surely it could help us escape the soul-crushing pain of organizational overhead. Went to Wharton to level up on the business side, then dove headfirst into building Attrove with two incredible engineers.

We're on a mission to give people their workdays back. No more drowning in meeting fatigue or communication overload. Just humans doing meaningful work while AI handles all the status updates and coordination overhead.

The ask: We're gearing up to launch Attrove here soon! Looking for fellow sufferers of meeting madness who want to beta test, swap war stories about the worst meetings you've survived, or just commiserate about how "quick syncs" are never that quick.

Been in SF for 15 years, seen the city through boom and bust. Always down to chat about engineering trends, the reality of founder life with kids, or why the best product decisions happen on walks, not in conference rooms.

Anyone else ever booked up their own calendar with fake "focus time" just to avoid another pointless sync?
