Hello! I'm Eliot.

So.. you're Eliot?

I'm an entrepreneur living in startup land. I like building awesome things with people that are cooler and smarter than me. I'm currently working on my venture-backed startup called Kloudless (wooo, shameless self-serving plug!).

What the heck is this site for?

Blog templates are boring, so I designed/coded this site to pleasure myself and hopefully delight others. I blazed through many late-night episodes of Law & Order and bags of shrimp chips as I sculpted these pages, so hopefully, you'll enjoy them =D

As a Business Operations Associate in the Platform Services team, I correlated handset functionalities to bottom-line growth by statistically analyzing carrier data. As a product manager in the Cloud Platform team, I analyzed focus group data and competitor platforms in order to build market requirements documents for a new cloud developer platform.
