New York, New York, United States

I am a former Park Avenue lawyer who helped bring startups to the U.S. by applying for the appropriate work visas for them. I worked mostly with Series-B startups with approximately $10M USD in funding. Some of them have been funded by: Bessemer Venture Partners, Blumberg Capital, Founders Collective, Founders Fund, Greylock Partners, Innovation Endeavors, Khosla Ventures, Norwest Ventures, and Sequoia Capital.

My interest in tech first solidified when I completed a Stage 1 Gentoo Linux install when I was 16. I then reflashed routers, PSP's, phones, and later enrolled in an Engineering program to later drop out after a year.

I subsequently pursued a legal career while continuing to expand my knowledge in tech. I've built a submerged PC in mineral oil, and I am an amateur crypto miner.
