My name is Ian. I'm building Chert, the conversational interface that lets teams send, receive, and automate conversation through our APIs. Before this, I studied Mathematics and CS/Economics at NYU, did fast algorithm research at Courant, and won 8 hackathons(including MIT, Harvard, Penn, Princeton) along the way. Outside of work, I run triathlons, play Go, and hit random hackathons with Gary. fun fact: I've lived in a total of 16 cities in 20 years of my life.
