?		Backed by renowned investors and advisers, we're expanding our great team at Onai.
		Kosmix was acquired by Walmart to form Walmart Labs. Among other initiatives at Walmart, I created Get On The Shelf, a contest and web series that helped small businesses and gained positive attention in social and traditional media. Selected 1st year Get On The Shelf coverage, with the first link having an overview: Contest will put top innovations on Walmart shelves (Sacramento Bee) Wal-Mart Starts Inventors Contest (ABC World News Tonight) Water Wins Wal-Mart's New Product Contest (Bloomberg Businessweek) The 2nd year, ABC World News Tonight aired nice segments 3 nights in a row showing behind the scenes of the web series: Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 The best part of the contest was hearing from people about how participation helped them even though they didn't win: [link to come].
		I joined Kosmix upon its acquisition of my startup, Cruxlux.
		Founded with a friend, we built new technologies related to semantic internet search.
		At Stanford, I served project management and lead development roles for Folding@Home, a distributed computing project (simulating protein folding and drug binding) that grew into the most powerful in the world.
		I did my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at Stanford University. I also was a Mayfield Fellow there.
