Murad is like a gyro sandwich, as in he’s not really Middle Eastern, and people in the U.S can’t agree on how to pronounce his name. Stateless is the result of years of research and development in computer networking completed by him and Eric at the University of Colorado Boulder.  His vision is to commercialize this technology and to build an awesome and creative company.

He was awarded a Ph.D. from Princeton, and is now an assistant professor at the  University of Colorado, Boulder. It was there that he met Murad and served as his Ph.D. adviser. Together, they went on to create the magic behind Stateless. Eric’s now running along with Murad to change how networks are built.
