About wesnerm2

I am a software entrepreneur. I founded SoftPerson to build AI desktop applications that perform tasks associated with humans.

I worked at Microsoft for six years as a software developer in the Microsoft Excel group (XL97,2000,XP). I studied applied math and computer science at Harvard and did an MBA at the Anderson School of Business at UCLA. My IQ is in the 99.9%ile.
