Blake West

Co-Founder, CTO at Goldfinch. He was Senior Engineer at Coinbase. 1st hire at HintHealth. Musician. ML enthusiast. Senior full stack engineer with solid product development sense and proven track record. Mostly backend these days, I specialize in Ruby and JavaScript, with a strong hobby in machine and deep learning (w/ Python). Currently I work on the Core Payments team at Coinbase. Before that, I joined Hint Health as the first employee, scaling the application from 75 patients to 300k, and was there from a small seed to a $10M series A. Hint helps doctors across the country, and brings the value-based care dream further into reality. I also know how to hustle and love learning. Previously I founded an award-winning music lessons company, and created an entirely new music notation system, that received over 25k downloads. Earlier, I graduated from Wharton and then moved to Austin, TX for 4 years, where I wrote, performed, produced, mixed, and taught music professionally.
