Albert Miller

Portrait

My name is Albert Miller. I am a software engineer who greatly enjoys working at startups, currently at the financial technology company, Haven. Previously I worked in technology-enabled carbon markets at Pachama. My primary professional interests are philosophy of technology, business, and ethics.

At Haven, my contributions have spanned launching a neobank and solving constant and varied problems, enabling our accounting and finance teams to scale in step with our growth.

At Pachama, I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with some dedicated colleagues in the nascent carbon credit industry, contributing to the market as it metamorphosizes into a trustworthy and scalable vehicle for driving corporate finance to effective sustainability efforts.

I am keenly interested in philosophy and ethics. The questions which most intrigue me are those which deny or appropriate agency to individuals and communities (e.g., planning and transportation), and the role of technology in society. I identify more closely with the Luddites than the techno-optimists, but I try to be pragmatic about things.

I have many interests beyond programming including sourdough, piano, art, hiking, and spending time with friends. I live in St Johns, Portland Oregon with my partner Perrin.
