ABSTRACT
PayPal processes more than $1B in payments every day, is an accepted method of payment in over 200 countries, and covers everything in the online payments ecosystem from issuing credit and debit cards, to supporting credit card & POS processing, facilitating checkout at online merchants, and making it easy for friends to split a dinner bill or resolve shared expenses.

Prior to joining PayPal, he held several positions including Agari’s Data Architect, a Technical Lead in Search at LinkedIn, Netflix’s Cloud Data Architect, Etsy’s VP of Engineering, and several technical roles at eBay.
