Currently building Rain the blockchain-based card issuing and stablecoin interoperability platform I was previously a principal engineer on the Quickbooks Self-Employed team working to power prosperity for self-employed people around the world. I also launched Intuit Workforce (previously Playbook HR before being acquired by Intuit), which helped companies onboard and manage independent workforces. Before starting Playbook HR, I was a PM at Microsoft working on search engine relevance for Bing. I graduated from Stanford University in 2012 where I majored in Computer Science. At Stanford, I was president of BASES, the school's largest entrepreneurship group, and currently, serve on its board of advisors. Throughout college and high school, I interned in technical roles at companies in a wide range of industries and sizes from energy to finance to social media and from small startups to fortune 500 corporations. I'm a big data junkie and a full-stack web developer who taught himself how to program in middle school. I started my first company in high school.
