Data Addict

My name is George Saines, I’m 27 years old and I live in Raleigh North Carolina. Directly after graduating from college my two best friends and I founded a startup that helps people learn Chinese and Japanese characters more effectively. The start is called Skritter and has exceeded all of our expectations.

In addition to running my startup, I also work at another small software company as a project manager. I get to hang out with computer programmers all day and still spend most of my time solving business problems.

I am a devout believer in data: what gets measured gets optimized. Whether you want to lose weight, run a marathon, build a company, or develop new friendships, tracking data about yourself will help. I am always running a battery of experiments to optimize my own life. This blog is about those experiments and business wisdom I’ve learned.
