# Surinder Singh

Building software and thinking about systems, business, and people. I like simplification, understanding and blowing past constraints, creating incentives in others, and turning ideas into things that work.

Previously studied chemical engineering at The Cooper Union and minored in Computer Science and Bioengineering. Currently building Parlor.

## Now

Trying to get better at identifying the real problem before reaching for a solution.

I’m increasingly interested in building less: fewer features, fewer abstractions, fewer moving pieces. Software is useful to me insofar as it solves a real problem; the goal is not more software.

Outside of that, I spend a lot of time thinking about businesses, human behavior, science, and whatever rabbit hole happens to be interesting that week.
