"[Gabor] wrote his Master's thesis on Organizing Email, worked on the Gmail team, and was also VP of Engineering at Xobni, which he left last year to pursue his own company. The company’s backers include Paul Buchheit and Sanjeev Singh, who built a little application called Gmail (they also co-founded FriendFeed). These guys know what they’re doing."

Hi! My name is Gabor and I'm a Product Manager at Google. Yes, the Google we know and love. I was the Founder of reMail, a mobile email startup which was acquired by Google in February of 2010.

What did reMail do? reMail was an iPhone app that would download all your mail to your iPhone and search it super fast. It was well received by press and users alike. reMail is now open source, and a number of developers have built apps based on it.

Before reMail, I was the VP Engineering at Xobni, a San Francisco startup. Xobni's software has been covered by the Wall Street Journal and Newsweek. Bill Gates demoed Xobni in a keynote speech, and millions of users work with it for hours every day.

Before Xobni, I was a Software Engineer at Google. At Google, I worked on a variety of things as well as Gmail.

I have an MSCS degree from ETH Zurich. In the past, I have worked in graphic design, interned at Yahoo and Google, did research, and was voted #1 best teaching assistant for every class I TA'd at ETH.

I was born in Budapest, Hungary where I went to elementary school. I went to "Gymnasium" in Germany, spent a year in high school in the US, and did undergrad + grad school at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. I now live in San Francisco.
