• I was the first employee at Naughty Dog, and as such wrote around half the code for Crash Bandicoot, as well as a bunch of code for Crash 2. I also produced the music (composed by Josh Mancell) for Crash 1, 2, 3, and Crash Team Racing.

  After that, I co-founded travel search company ITA Software with Jeremy Wertheimer and Carl de Marcken; this company powers Kayak, Orbitz, and many airline websites. Google bought ITA Software in 2010 (closed Apr 2011) for ~$700M, and the system is now known as Google Flights.

  INKY, my most recent startup, pioneered new techniques in email security. Kaseya acquired INKY in October 2025.
