Hobnob's management team
In 1977 a young Aron Hall watched his dad write computer programs over a 110bps acoustic coupler modem on a Unix server 70 miles away. His dad turned to him and said, "In ten years most people will work from home like this." 25 years later, Aron founded Hobnob to eat, sleep and breathe a redesign of secure, portable networking.
Although it's hard to remember life before Hobnob, Aron worked at several software companies around the Silicon Valley including Sybase and CenterView (acquired by Informix). He was an early employee of the successful startup Marimba (acquired by BMC Software) where he was a senior engineering manager.
Aron holds an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University and a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of California at Davis.
Jared Go is a PhD candidate at Stanford University and a Stanford Graduate Fellow. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University where he was awarded the prestigious Alan Newell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research.
Before joining Hobnob in 2004, Jared developed diagnostic teleradiology software at eMed Technologies and worked on next-generation infrastructures for user interfaces at Microsoft. In his spare time, Jared presents and publishes research on diverse topics ranging from graphics to artificial intelligence.
