Julian Dasilva and Tyler Coffey

An engineering leader and a product leader. The two people you meet on the first call are the two who do the work.

Built on working together

We have built hard systems together before.

We met at Misfits Market, after it had acquired Imperfect Foods. We worked together on the fulfillment business, combining product direction and engineering delivery.

Now we build and maintain ButterTrip as our learning playground, and bring that experience to ButterOps. We help your team take on more with AI and develop the expertise to keep going themselves.
