Product and marketing advice for an early-stage startup that's created an algorithm to automatically calculate (and minimize) taxes on cryptocurrency trades. Highlight so far has been Jim Breyer giving us a shoutout in a random Twitter comment (aka, when you know you've made it).

I owned AVOD monetization for our enterprise users--MCNs, top creators, and traditional media companies. I also watched a lot of YouTube, although I kind of did that before I joined the company as well. Loved the mission, the people, and the opportunity. Ultimately, there was only one opportunity that could've pried me away from YouTube. I owned AVOD monetization for our enterprise users--MCNs, top creators, and traditional media companies.

Enlisted as an infantry private after September 11th. Left as a logistics captain, battlefield leader and overall better human being. My family came to the US as poor immigrants; never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd have the opportunity to give back while getting leadership training and waived college/grad school tuition. Also survived 10 years of good-natured mockery as the only vegetarian in my units (don't worry, I gave as good as I got). Enlisted as an infantry private after September 11th.
