Robert Wachen

Co-Founder & COO at Etched, Thiel Fellow

Krushay is an awesome team member and software engineer. He consistently puts out clean, efficient, well-functioning code and does it faster than most programmers I know.

Krushay worked on a team of MIT and Harvard engineers. Krushay not only pulled his own weight but also taught them how to write more scaleable code and use new frameworks and libraries. He's sharp, thinks from first principles, and is a joy to work with.
