“SK is one of the most entrepreneurial engineers I've ever worked with. I remember specifically that he would insist on speaking directly with our users to ensure that the product we were building were actually aligned with user needs. He was also very comfortable speaking with our users, new staff members and the greater startup and social impact community. In fact, he was the one that introduced the concepts of Effective Altruism to me during a presentation he did for his birthday, which has very much affected my thinking around career and impact!”
