Hi, I'm Elliot Onn. In my work, I analyze behavior in social media and design products to improve the experience. I live in San Francisco, California.

I have a general interest in personality and prediction models relating to how people respond to situations and other people.

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

5/2011: I'm raising funds for Community Awareness & Treatment Services, an excellent non-profit organization focused on mental health outreach to homeless men and women. For my birthday, I raised funds for Darfur and Project Homeless Connect. I would greatly appreciate your contribution or ideas.
