Some people you‘d be working with
Zoheb Jamal: His high school hates him, and rightly so. There was once an advanced maths exam where half the cohort failed. Teachers wanted to bump everyone's marks by 10 to soften the carnage. But they couldn't cuz Zoheb Jamal got 99/100. Leads customer ops, compliance, and growth.
Brian Koh: Only human we know who has impulsive urges to exercise. When he does, he doesn't care about outfits. We've seen him running in boots, tight jeans, and leather jackets. Exceptional engineer and even better mentor.
