Hi there. Follow me on twitter
or send me an email at my full name at gmail.com.

I think about how people read and read about how people think.

Currently:

• I'll be working at Lerer Ventures for the summer of 2012
• I founded Boulton Watt LLC in September 2011. It consolidates consulting work I've been doing for a while.
• I'm an undergraduate at Stanford studying History and Symbolic Systems.

In the past:

• I studied abroad at Oxford University in Fall 2011. I was associated with Magdalen college and studied the economics of the British empire.
• I was the CTO for Fourth Story Media, which launched The Amanda Project and developed a set of other digital app properties.
• I was a Thiel Fellowship Finalist, which was a ton of fun.
• I made WeddingCredential which got some nice press.
• During the summer of 2010, I worked for BuzzFeed's development team. I made an open source library for Sailthru, among other contributions.
• I help out over at the NYS Citizens' Coalition for Children
• Textplace is a Wordpress plugin I made awhile ago. The code is pretty bad, but some people find it useful.
• I was editor-in-chief of the Stuyvesant Spectator, one of the largest and most active high school newspapers in the country for the 2008-2009 volume.
• During the summer of 2007, I worked for The Huffington Post focusing primarily on Fundrace.
• During the summer of 2006, I was an intern at Community Connect, which at the time owned Blackplanet.com, Asianavenue.com, Migente.com and other social networks.
