I spent the last 8 years at Stripe, where I was the founding engineer on Stripe Terminal, drove the acquisition of Index, and post-launch led integration experience and global expansion for the Terminal product. I've run teams large (50) and small, led mobile strategy across Stripe with @shreyas as my mentor, and spent the last 2 years working on Stripe Connect. I'm so excited to be building something new with Rob Cheung, who I met at Venmo.
