  • I met Kevin, CEO Version Story through a mutual friend while he was at Stanford Law. Kevin was taking iOS programming classes at the Engineering department and would seek my advice for programming in 2013. It was fascinating to see Kevin's transformation from a Law student into an engineer and getting into LinkedIn as a professional SWE. Kevin's deep knowledge of challenges in Law and software engineering has uniquely positioned to be successful in his new venture - Version Story.
  • I got to know Jordan, CTO through Kevin during his time at LinkedIn. He is a terrific engineer.
