Quentin started college as an artist but ended up graduating as a scientist. He continued to grad school with the intention of getting a Ph.D. in astrophysics but found building software on projects for NASA and the Department of Defense so enjoyable, he left grad school to pursue software full-time and hasn't looked back. At least not often. He eventually found himself in the world of software startups building world-class products across multiple companies. Startups most appeal to him because his favorite problems are those that have not yet been solved.
