Founder

Started programming in BASIC in 2004 and never stopped (but moved on to different languages). Holds a degree in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge. Before starting Splitgraph, worked at Man AHL, a quant hedge fund. At AHL, participated in multiple parts of the business — from helping maintain Arctic, an open-source high performance timeseries store, and working on various market data pipelines to doing research on equities and interest rate / energy derivatives. This experience of working closely with producers, maintainers and consumers of data has inspired a large amount of Splitgraph's philosophy.

In 2018, accidentally invented a Morrowind speedrun category.

Founder

Started programming in PHP in 2004 and definitely stopped. Now prefers TypeScript and well-written shell scripts. Graduated from Yale University with a BA in Computer Science (senior thesis: TorCoin, a proof-of-bandwidth cryptocurrency). In college, started a company selling proxy servers. After college, co-founded a social app startup. Most recently, was working remotely (before it was cool) as a software consultant and saw first-hand the pain of data integrations. Traveled and lived all over the world, most recently in Cambridge and NYC.
