Managing Partner@Moonfire 🌗🔥

Hello! My name is Mike 👋
I'm a computer scientist focused on machine learning and data infrastructure. I lead the AI-focused technical strategy for Moonfire, an early-stage VC firm focused on quantitative approaches to venture investing.
Previously, I created osquery at Facebook, co-founded Kolide, and was an AI Advisor for the UK Government Office for Science.
