"The Internet is no topic like cellphones or videogame platforms or artificial intelligence; it’s a topic like education. It’s that big. Therefore beware: to become a teacher, master some topic you can teach; don’t go to Education School and master nothing. To work on the Internet, master some part of the Internet: engineering, software, computer science, communication theory; economics or business; literature or design. Don’t go to Internet School and master nothing. There are brilliant, admirable people at Internet institutes. But if these institutes have the same effect on the Internet that education schools have had on education, they will be a disaster."

TIME TO START TAKING THE INTERNET SERIOUSLY- David Gelernter

About me

I am an entrepreneur and have started Veechi and SocializedHR. Before my endeavor into entrepreneurship I spent my time working at Google in the maps division and before that I attended UC Berkeley studying a hybrid between computer science and business.

On my free time I love yoga, meditation, hiking, reading books that challenge my way of thinking, and advising companies. I am currently an advisor to Watt and Fauvre Research

Here I post thoughts, quotes, and images that strike my fancy.
