About

Serial entrepreneur since leaving corporate in 2009, working largely for equity on multiple startups. Building (1) academically rigorous, anti-overfitting quant/backtesting tools for retail investors (with potential applicability to smaller hedge funds lacking quant staff) and (2) a partner-led “social-as-a-service” platform for verticals like real estate/PropTech (including FSBO use cases) focused on first-party data capture vs. big tech.
