Genghis Philip
Bio
Genghis is an ultimate player, boxer, and gamer. He has spent well over a decade making sure teams work well together at various and sundry tech companies around the cities, with titles ranging from Scrum Master to Director of Engineering to COO. He also sits on the board of the Twin Cities Ultimate League and is an assistant coach for the Strike, Minnesota's professional women's and nonbinary ultimate frisbee team.
I guess you could follow him on Twitter (@hawksfire) or Bluesky (@genghis.bsky.social), but only if you're particularly interested in all-caps tweets about the Chicago Bears and Ultimate.
