Andrew Chen

Hi, I’m Andrew. I recently graduated from University of Washington with a BS in Applied Mathematics with a focus in economics. My interests include social software, information extraction/retrieval, distributed computing, electronic markets, and other fun topics. I admit it, I used to be an HSX addict.

Right now I work at a data-mining startup in Seattle, WA. It’s fun.

Projects
Right now I am working with Will and Becca on a search engine for BitTorrent, called TowerSeek.org.
