I'm the Co-Founder and CTO of B12, where we're building a better future of creative and analytical work. Before that, I was Director of Data at Locu, a startup that was acquired by GoDaddy. I went to grad school at MIT's CSAIL. One time in Jerusalem I ate a whole tub of hummus on my own. I don't regret that day.
