I am currently building Fetchr, we help everyone have their own personal stylist that helps them find items they'll love. We're reimagining the online shopping experience for the era of AI.

Previously, I built two startups in the e-commerce software space, exiting one for $9M (the other failed).

I did a short stint at Goldman Sachs as an investment banking intern in the TMT group (I actually enjoyed it, but knew it was not for me).

I studied business and computer science at USC before dropping out to go through Y-Combinator. Before Fetchr, I wandered around for 1.5 years building different ideas in shopping/e-commerce with nothing really working.

I like to write in my spare time, some of it public, some just for me. I wish there were more about the early days of a startup before it started working.
