Elon Glouberman is a recent graduate from UCLA (20') with a B.S. in Cognitive Science, specialization in Computing, and minor in Music Industry. He loves taking an active approach to problem-solving and diving into interesting problems. He is particularly interested in combining data and technology and applying it to the music and sports. In his spare time, Elon enjoys solving crossword puzzles, training how to dunk on a ten-foot basketball hoop, and playing golf.

“Not only do I love the sport, but baseball is extremely exciting because of the hundreds of data points surrounding every aspect of the game. Being able to utilize these seemingly disparate pieces of information and combining it in such a way that gives you meaningful and predictive results is pretty awesome.”
