About

Cofounder at Zing Data (http://www.getzingdata.com) - the easiest, fastest, most collaborative platform for using data from anywhere. I love building products that make life more interesting, enriching, and fun for people at scale. I led product at OneSignal, leading a product and design team that helps more than 1 MM apps reach their users 8 billion times a day. Before OneSignal, I was at LinkedIn in product where I built translation in News Feed, worked on improving relevance signals, introduced location sharing and voice messages, and helped make LinkedIn more useful to members. Previously, I was a PM at Facebook where I shipped FB's first native mobile ads format (Canvas), made news feed more engaging, and shipped Facebook's first speech recognition efforts. Prior to FB, I co-founded a machine learning startup to make enterprise customer support more efficient, growing to a team of 10, raising capital, and solidifying major CRM partners. I also helped construct vision and focus for a carbon nanotube based ethlyene sensor that can help make agriculture more efficient, reduce food waste, and make fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable. I've worked on tech IPOs and M&A at Credit Suisse, advised some of the largest banks on building risk models at Oliver Wyman, helped craft the future of Exchange at Microsoft, built foreign-currency models for a hedge fund at BlackRock, and got into Y Combinator.
