From IoT to business analytics, data science drives better outcomes. At nanochomp, we deliver data-driven strategies that help you innovate like a startup, and high-value analytics services to solve data problems.

I'm a tech startup founder with a background in electrical engineering and computer science. When I'm not daydreaming about the future of AI and machine learning, I like helping businesses create and test strategies to help make their ideas a reality. I try to hide some of the 'nerd' and offset my background in EE, CS and data-driven innovation with racing cars and listening to hip hop, but I'm still a data nerd underneath it all.

From small, early-stage startups to large international companies, I have implemented agile strategies, gained voice of customer and rapidly grown concepts from ideation to profitable business units. That’s where I became addicted to process, data, and above all, Haribo gummy bears. I have built and managed global teams in the automotive, semiconductor, software and IoT industries, but I'm most passionate about helping small and medium-sized businesses unlock their potential and experience asymmetrical growth.

Basically I race cars, play with computers and take mediocre pictures.
