Various Engineering & Product Leadership Roles
2007 - 2013
After leaving EDA, I wanted to really discover my passion. So I tried many, many things: founder, engineer, product manager, SEO/SEM, social, photo sharing, payments, venture capital, retail. Worked with some amazing people. Learned a lot. Failed a lot. Some small successes. Mostly, I grew tremendously and am grateful for all the relationships I built along the way. • Co-Founder @ Grid (shut down) • Co-Founder @ Kafki (shut down) • Engineer @ AngelList • Head of Product @ Friend.ly (acquired by Facebook) • Head of Product @ WePay (acquired by JPMorgan Chase) • CTO @ RealtyNation (now ApartmentList) • Co-Founder @ TrendHappy (shut down) • Engineer @ Ruba (acquired by Google) • Engineer @ Qubescape (shut down)
