Co-Founder & CEO at Kurtosis Technologies | Co-Founder & CEO at Kurtosis Technologies. Building developer tools for modern backends.
Summary
I studied physics and computer science, and in the pursuit of hyper-fast feedback loops and shipping new things every week, decided not to go into academia. Spent 5 great years at Palantir to earn my stripes in modern backend infrastructure then founded Kurtosis, a devtool company. Our first tool is now open-source, and is used to test some of the most complicated, high-stakes blockchain systems in the world (https://github.com/kurtosis-tech/kurtosis). Our second tool is focused on web and microservice backends. We're bringing back the raw speed and excitement of coding on a new project to those teams who needed to slow down a bit in the name of stability and reliability. Check it out: https://kardinal.dev

Using the semiconductor nanofabrication tools at the Cornell Nanoscale Facility (CNF), I am working on developing a novel anti-reflective coating for the polarization-sensitive Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACTPOL). Long term research goals of my work include constraining the initial scalar perturbation to tensor perturbation ratio of the cosmic microwave background and detecting B-mode polarization from the CMB signal.
