Hi, I'm Elliot Onn, and I analyze behavior in social media and design products to improve the experience. I live in Saratoga, California.

I have a general interest in creating models of personality to predict how people will respond to situations and other people.

In my spare time, I enjoy writing, yoga, hiking, biking, basketball, and running.

If you have 1000 invitations to send: don't fold 1000 invitations then stuff 1000 envelopes then lick 1000 envelopes. If you are interrupted in the middle, you will have no invitations to send. You must do the whole process one invitation at a time.
