I did things here

It was a very small startup that is still in business today

I did things here related to Hooli App Engine, Hooli Apps Script and HoolitubeDuring my time here, Hooli’s market cap grew from $97 billion to $360 billion by the time I left. Hooli grew from 17,000 employees to over 50,000 full time employees worldwide. My work had zero and possibly negative impact to this company’s growth during this time.

Trust and safety wasn’t really a thing back in 2008 or we would have gotten in serious trouble. After I left, this company was able to go public and was purchased by Macrosoft shortly thereafter.
