Summary

My formal education is in rabbinic studies. 4 years ago I decided to dive into the tech industry.

I went to a boot camp, got a job and am now a Tech Lead at a company in Los Angeles (consumer rewards platform Prodege).

I recently acquired a small Shopify app (via MicroAcquire) with the goal of growing it into a full reporting and notifications suite. I am treating the acquisition as my low cost MBA :)
