Kabalan Gaspard

I'm the CTO & co-Founder of Tesserae, where we're building the future of visual communication in the enterprise. Before starting companies, I spent a decade in data/ML and engineering - at Google (via Looker, acq. $2.6B) and Mastercard (via APT, acq. $600M). Passionate about maths and physics (BSc UC Berkeley, MSc Cambridge). After stints in a quantum physics lab, a space sciences lab, and investment banking, I found a new passion in tech. Spent too many hours in Factorio.
