Hey folks! I'm Rob.

I’m most excited about building productivity-increasing new technologies, and I try to do this through my work with startups.

I live in New York City, am good at speaking in accents, and bad at not burning my mouth. I’ve always liked games (esp. KOTOR, BioShock) and have never liked chocolate. I love sundays and tinkering. My wife, Tori the Great, is the most resilient and compassionate person I know. Our sons are always hungry.

I enjoy meeting new people and exploring crazy ideas. I’m an extreme techno-optimist and believe we can engineer our way out of ~all problems.

These are the jobs I've had:

  • Research leader @ Saturn (current)
  • Advisor and coach (current)
  • Data leader @ Citizen
  • Caregiver
  • Founder @ Gatherscope
  • Data and strategy person @ Uber
  • BI analyst @ NFL
  • Econ researcher
  • Ski instructor
  • Dish washer
  • Landscaper

These are some things I enjoy:

  • Software engineering
  • Data science and engineering
  • AI/ML research, especially regarding information externalization and retrieval in LLMs
  • Infrastructure, in every sense
  • Human-product interaction
  • Human-human interaction
  • Business analysis and investing
  • Biking
  • Skiing
  • Stand-up comedy
  • Eating plants
  • Games
  • HBO
  • The New England Patriots
