Honestly, like my trajectory was probably always going to lead to like doing my own thing or at least getting a job or like I was just in a box, you know, all day, every day, because I just, I didn't like bureaucracy.

I always felt like I knew, or I not knew, but I was cared more than my boss.

I think it was always that feeling of like, you know, oh, I'm going to put the time in and then that doesn't get always rewarded in certain places.

Because at Google, it's like, you can't move jobs no matter how good you are.

Like I built this, like,

very money-making algorithm for their ad product.

And how did you do that?

Because you're not an engineer, right?

Or are you an engineer?

Data science.

So I have a data science background.

I can do a lot of modeling and stuff like that.

And so I would never call myself an engineer, but data science, absolutely.

That's the kind of work I was doing at NSA.

And then at Google, I used some of the similar models to basically build this.

All it was was like a...

It took a book of business, like a sales book of business and prioritized it.

That's really all it did because at Google, their sales teams aren't like true sales teams.

They basically say like, here's 90 accounts, go grow them, right?

And it's like over a quarter, like 90 accounts, it's a prioritization problem.
