I am the co-founder of a stealth mode startup. Before that, I earned a Ph. D. from MIT, researching distributed OLTP databases with Sam Madden. Even earlier in my life, I worked at Google in New York for a bit more than a year, and I was a graduate and undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo.
