How can we change people's lives?
I went to MIT, and my topic of research was massive scale, time series data set analysis and processing.
The idea is: what do you do with all of the billions of data points that are generated by wearables? How do you analyze this type of data and process it quickly in order to get to insights?
I started a company called Sync Project where we developed a sensor-driven, generative audio platform for health applications. Bose acquired us because they were interested in the technology that we developed. We worked on the launch of the first generation of sleep buds.
Eventually I led the consumer sleep business. Customers love the product. We changed people's lives, but we also saw that they wanted more features, which at the time the technology was not available yet.
A few years at Bose, I realized that the technology was becoming available. So Amir and I made the decision to build SOND together.
