Gabor Cselle - About Me

On: "Gabor hits Send" | Crunchbase | Twitter: @gabor | Facebook | Posterous

"[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."

My goal is to radically improve your email experience. I'm the Founder of reMail, a mobile email software startup. Our product downloads all your mail to your iPhone and searches it super fast. It has been well received by press and users alike. Update: reMail was recently acquired by Google!

Previously, 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 confidential 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.
