Founder

My passion is building tools to make teams more productive working with data. I was VP of Eng at TubiTV where I designed the ML stack and the experiment platform, in addition to growing the team by more than 3x. Previously I was CTO/co-founder of DataPad and the second major contributor to the pandas library. In a former life, I was a financial quant with stints at AQR and Barclays.
