Here's are some random facts about me:

As Field co-founder, graduated in Gateway Incubator Cohort 2.

At 6builder, designed relevancy algorithms, authored core patent and built core technology.

As a direct result of my work on 6builder, in 2016, I was named one of the Top 100 Twitter Marketers based on data from BuzzSumo. I came in at #32. I find this hilarious, because I am NOT a marketer….but 6builder actually worked.

For MarkMonitor, wrote distributed web crawlers, relevance analyzers, and semi-structured text parsers.

At MeaningfulMachines, designed and implemented fault-tolerant, distributed computing cluster similar to MapReduce/Spark, based on the Message Passing Interface specification. The cluster powered MM's groundbreaking MT product, and when brought online in 2004, it ranked #340 of the worlds top 500 supercomputers, 4 spots above the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Based on the framework, I implemented a distributed web crawler capable of indexing the entire web within a month.

Built the first wireless mobile courier app for DHL.

Launched Matchmaker.com in San Francisco.

Engineered, mixed, co-produced the debut album by Switchblade Symphony (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblade_symphony), 'Serpentine Gallery'.

Played bass with Jack Logan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Logan) while we were students at UIUC.
