BIO
👋 I'm a 2012 Stanford graduate that has been in the tech industry for the last decade. I'm deeply interested in building scalable platforms that involve applying ML to pressing problems. We are bringing business intelligence to text, extracting insights from the pieces of content that would otherwise take an army to read.
Ex-company, school and discipline below are derived from this bio. Nothing is inferred when the bio is missing.
