2X Founder. Student of technology and business processes to accelerate growth and development. YC enthusiast, investor and community builder who loves nothing more than helping young founders learn from my mistakes.I started with a love of math and international relations. However when I got to Stanford, I realized that what I really love was connecting people with technology to make impact on the global population. After studying computer science to further that ambition, I started my first entrepreneurial venture, videocrank, with a few other Stanford students while an undergrad. It was a marketing platform that connected businesses that needed feedback on interesting video media and the college students who they wanted feedback from. There, I managed technical development of the platform in addition to many of the business aspects of the venture. Leveraged these experiences to become lead developer of mylinkpower - a Stanford StartX company that was trying to push the bounds of LinkedIn and what it could do to properly connect its power users.Then I had the pleasure of being a co-founder of Swapbox. We started in a weeklong software sprint over spring break. Based on that success, we were able to bootstrap a hardware company until we were accepted into YC. We became the first first and last mile automated delivery system in the US. Now, I have the honor to lead growth at Goldbelly. Batch mates of mine at YC, I’ve known the team here since the beginning and we’ve been able to build the nations first e-commerce food marketplace powering the best food from around the country shipped nationwide.In addition, I spend my spare time investing in other YC companies and giving back to the community that gave me my start.
