Co-Founder & Head of Product

Taylor is our co-founder and Head of Product, which at an early-stage startup means he spends a lot of time conversing, writing, testing, and more testing. Taylor is our rock and on a regular basis, everyone at twine leans on his varied experience and expertise which covers a wide range of disciplines from analytics to business operations and marketing. Outside of work Taylor is often playing beach volleyball, soccer, and sailing in NYC. He’s extremely disciplined and intentional about everything, including freezing his candies so he doesn’t binge eat them.

Austin Carter
Software Engineer
LinkedInTwitter
Austin is our resident puzzle enthusiast and will finish the daily Wordle before you can even refresh your browser. Joining us from the Glimpse team through our acquisition, Austin works on our engineering team as a Software Engineer, writing code to build “beautiful things for beautiful people”. He loves to travel, seek out adventure, and loves any locale that allows him to spend his mornings rock climbing. He’s usually the calm, quiet, and collected one in the group but throw a good 70s female anthem at him and he’ll throw his hair back and rock out like nobody’s business.
