Company Info for bluefountainmedia.com | IcebreakerMembers
Equity research, with a focus on using complex datasets to understand company fundamentals.
From 2008-12, I worked in online marketing, mostly search. I worked on the agency side (Blue Fountain Media), as a consultant (Digital Due Diligence, with my cofounder Doug Pierce), and in-house at Yahoo.
2012-2019, I've focused primarily on data-driven equity research. I've used numerous sources (web traffic, web scraping, transaction data, Google Trends, and more) to identify and refine investment theses. On the technology side, this has primarily involved Python (numpy/pandas), Spark (pyspark, Scala), and Postgres, with exploratory work in Excel.
2020-present: I write about inflections in finance and technology.
My worst trade ever was dismissing Bitcoin as a dumb fad in 2011. My best trade ever was buying a tiny bit anyway in 2012. 
I am a highly motivated, charismatic, self starter with 5+ years experience as a Developer/Designer for one of New Yorks top design agencies.
I love all things digital and my hobbies include running, cycling and hockey.
