Hi, I'm Ian Kar, a Writer & Technologist

Hey there! I'm Ian, a writer and a technologist based in San Francisco. I've spent 10+ years in fintech and banking, as well as 2.5 years as a journalist, and 3 years as the founder of a media company. Now, I do consulting for enterprise companies.

My goal professionally is to spend time working on projects where I can use my creativity to solve problems for businesses and their users. I've done everything from product development at a wealth management company, to growth at a compliance company. If it's an interesting problem and something I think I can uniquely solve, I'm all ears.

This site mainly exists to share what I'm working on with people, and a place where I can share my writing more easily. I don't publish blogs on any regular frequency but it's fair to expect 1-2 a month.

Outside of work, I love sports (basketball, football, baseball, and getting more into tennis and golf); music (rap and house), writing, and spending time with my plants and dog.
