About Adam Larson

I am independent, sociable, and eager to both learn and teach about deeply technical topics. At my core, I am a full stack cloud software engineer who strives to stay hands on, but I have also been fortunate to expand my experience across all facets of a company. I have worked and thrived as an engineer/architect, a PM, a technical marketer, a technical sales architect, and a technical enabler. I have delivered and designed SaaS and box releases; I have worked for and with both SMB and enterprise businesses; I have ideated and executed novel marketing strategies to cut through the sea of boring messaging; I have developed learning tools and strategies that are aligned to how people actually learn, and I have done all these roles as both an IC and a leader (I have no quarrels with rolling up my sleeves). I am always excited to enter new frontiers or hear about opportunities because at the end of the day I enjoy coming up with novel solutions to existing problems with great people. Please don\'t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or think I can be helpful in some way!
