About Marcos

I formed and led the software organization at Bellwether Coffee across $100M in fundraising, from the very first machine to presence in three continents. I became VP of Engineering, running a globally distributed team and standing up the company's first enterprise cybersecurity program.

I hold a BS in Computer Systems Engineering from Stanford and an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. In 2001, I was granted US Patent 6,195,657 for collaborative recommendation based on user behavior, anticipating what would become collaborative filtering and vector-based recommendation systems.

I'm a Kauffman Fellow, founder of Prelatent, and currently focused on applying spectral graph theory and formal verification to coordinated financial crime detection. I work with a small number of companies at a time, deliberately.
