I am the co-founder and CEO of Limit. We're bringing artificial intelligence to the insurance industry.

I attended the University of Chicago, where I learned to use mathematics to interpret the world around me, and developed a passion for building software. I then went to San Francisco for five years, where I learned that the most important ingredients for building are grit and optimism. I now live in New York. Time will tell what I will learn here.
