Partner at KV and Chairman at Singlestore. I founded Singlestore as CTO and took over as CEO in 2017. In this capacity I scaled the company from ~9 to ~40M ARR. Singlestore is a YC11 company that's on the trajectory to go public in 2023. Previously was a senior engineer at Facebook on the infrastructure team and Microsoft on the SQL Server. I'm interested in data, analytics, developer tools, AI, and blockchain technology. I have built an enterprise company, but investing much broader
