Ragav SatishFounder & President
Ragav has been building large scale software applications for over a decade. An information junkie at heart, with a voracious appetite for anything from elegant algorithms to the mating behavior of fire ants (don’t ask), he’s painfully aware of just how little of what we read is retained. He set out a few years ago to bridge the gap between theoretical memory research and practical, usable tools. Membean is a significant stage in that journey.
