Bio

I've been obsessed with web automation since I was 12, when I taught myself to code building sneaker bots. That early experience showed me how broken traditional scraping tools were. I launched Parse in August, hit 30K users in 3 weeks, and dropped out of Berkeley Engineering to make it the best way to programmatically interact with the internet.
