My background

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Harmonic AI⁠, the startup-data platform used by venture firms like a16z, Y Combinator, and Floodgate. Before that, I was a software engineer at Google. I earned my BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford, where I specialized in artificial intelligence.

Why Dreamlit

Every startup Andrew and I have worked on relied on email to bring users back, and email always got whatever engineering time was left over. The in-app experience got the attention, while the onboarding nudges, reminders, and win-backs that activate users were an afterthought.

Most teams don't have the time or the lifecycle specialists to design, write, and keep tuning those emails. So Dreamlit owns the problem: we find where users drop off and run the emails that move them forward. Our experts review every campaign and own the results, and you stay as involved as you like.
