His background includes founding and leading startups as CEO/CTO, running analytics and BI businesses, and handling high-stakes data modeling in consulting, giving him a rare mix of product, operational, and technical judgment. Based in Oakland, he pairs an English honors degree and Oxford studies with a long track record of shipping practical, high-impact systems and persuading organizations to adopt bold technical bets.
