    About
    Achievements

    I built a company with two other Zappos alumni. We raised a seed round and grew our user base rapidly in the Las Vegas area of Nevada. I worked on the design while my cofounders worked on the development and business ops. Our company was later acquired by eBay where we helped launch a new product and grow the team.
