Experience

  • Blazee - Heroku for Machine Learning

    Blazee is the Heroku for Machine Learning.
    It allows data scientists and engineers to turn machine learning models into a scalable, inference API for using this model from anywhere. It offers a Python library for deploying models in one line of code, straight from a Jupyter Notebook or Python script. It also offers a robust flow for updating and rolling back models once they are in production.

  • Tint.ai
    https://www.tint.ai

    Tint.ai provides real-time, AI-powered insurance for mobility platforms. Our state-of-the-art machine learning models and real-time infrastructure use thousands of data points to understand the risk associated with short term mobility transactions better than traditional insurance products. This allows our customers and their users to save 15% or more on insurance price.

    UX Archive is a website allowing mobile UX designers to see how the best applications perform various user flows such as login and check out to find inspiration.

  • Ethereum Blockchain Arbitration Bots

    Back in 2017, I created several arbitration bots for decentralized crypto-currency trading platforms (in particular EtherDelta, the leading platform at the time). This included various smart contracts and Python trading bots that were able to take advantage of the fact that such platforms were not performing any order matching, and that smart contract executions were atomic. In practice, the bots were able to find crossed SELL and BUY orders and execute them through my smart contracts in an atomic fashion, eliminating any risk. This was so profitable that many people started doing this and Ethereum had to change their policy on gas spending to avoid this behavior.
