> Better software through simulation

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/patrickventure

My current focus is in hardware simulation and emulation, with the goal of building out more open source simulation management tools.

I co-founded two startups:
- I co-founded Activatr to design and build out their technology from December 2014 to August 2016.
- I founded Hyperion Storm to develop a new streaming media model for social networking from May 2012 to May 2013.

I thoroughly enjoy developing primarily in C and assembly and have spent most of my time working at that level; where you need a hardware debugger to trace execution.

However, I have a fair amount of fun designing and building throughout the whole stack, from machine code to Objective-C and web services.
