About Me

I set radically ambitious goals and I make them happen.

I’m the founder of Marriage Pact, where we use data and AI to create social products that serve meaningful relationships. Before this, I was on the early team at Luminar Technologies, a self-driving car company I helped scale from $80M to $800M (today worth $6B). Post-Luminar, I studied computer science and economics at Stanford, and I worked in data science at Microsoft.

I love people. I chose my academic focuses in college based on that: economics enthralled me as the quantitative study of people—sometimes millions of people all at once—and I found computer science gave me the tools and systems to reach those people.

The one thing I value most about myself is my curiosity. When working with others, I believe that asking great questions is one of the most challenging (and important) things one can do. When you're choosing what to work on with someone, I believe it's important we ask not just what we can build, but also... what should we build?

Professionally, I love tackling ambitious goals with other curious and driven people. I did this at Luminar, a self-driving car company, where I helped the company land $35 million in venture funding and then dropped out of school to help grow the company. I did this at Microsoft, where I worked in data science by day and in cultural alchemy by night. Today, I'm working on Marriage Pact, creating next-level social experiences.

Outside of these pursuits, I love the arts. I was an internationally competitive classical guitarist growing up and I made award-winning music videos with my a cappella group in college. Today, I love musical theater, photography, and graphic design. I’m also a closet urbanist; I love cities, urban planning, and architecture.
