About me

I am an engineer with product skills. Started my career as an iOS engineer rebuilding the Yahoo Finance mobile app. Went on to lead iOS development for the now defunct Apple Design Award winner Yahoo News Digest. After getting tired of thinking like a user, I decided to focus on improving my engineering chops. Worked on “Smart” push notifications for Yahoo News. Had to revisit my ML skills from back in school for that. Then I met Dave Latham and Eric Tschetter from Flurry and I joined in to work with the incredibly smart folks there.

Work on a lot of experiments for fun. Created listeneveryday to help budding musicians gain some traction on twitter and facebook. Like reading about Psychology. I believe the study of human behavior help us incredibly to focus on solving the right problems for people. Hope to become an entrepreneur one day.

Follow NBA and Tennis closely. Used to play the Mridangam. Enjoy listening to Carnatic music.
