Achievements

For the past several years, I've been a PM at Schrödinger, responsible for the machine learning team, as well as creating new ML products for computational chemistry. It's been a fun new direction for me, but still consistent with my experience as a two-time entrepreneur and long-time engineer.

I was one of the first engineers at the startup that became Twitch -- I built their video archiving system, payments system, and a pro-account feature that grew to millions of dollars in annual revenue. All while the site was experiencing triple-digit annual growth rates.

At Yelp, I built their internal A/B testing and analytics tools (i.e. "data science", before the term was invented), implemented search features, and generally worked to make the site development process more data-driven.

I also founded two YCombinator-funded startups: Vayable and Omniref.
