Zouhair is a serial entrepreneur with an academic past. For his EE PhD, Zouhair researched novel video coding algorithms that reduce compression computations by 90% on mobile devices.

He went on to build an online retail company (enamora.com) and brought it to several million in revenue before the exit. Aside from success, he also took away expertise on women's underwear, so ask for fashion advice.

At KeepSafe, Zouhair contributes code, image processing expertise and infectious success drive.

"I'd rather be surfing" is his preferred motto but you'll find him at the office more often than at the beach. Zouhair drinks Beck's but other beers will also do.

Descending from a family of entrepreneurs, Philipp has been working on startups ever since graduating in Computer Science. His academic research was in graph visualization algorithms to make data useful.

After that he started ViCommerce (vicommerce.com) a company building video players that allowed people to click and buy items in a video. Luckily he never had to use any of Zouhair's codecs.

Philipp competes to win - in Sailing and in Startups and came to the Bay Area to compete in the world's best environment for both.

At KeepSafe he spends most of his time in the Android code base. Philipp ships code like a machine but if you're looking for a way to distract him from software, just ask about Sailing. He'll talk your ear off. Philipp is Bavarian, drinks beer and has never missed a day of Oktoberfest in his life.

Hilal is the young genius talent that legends are made of. Love of video games made him teach himself C++, OpenGL, 3D imaging algorithms at an age of 13.

He has lived in California for the majority of his life and is now in the Bay Area. Currently, Hilal develops for the core Android application and loves all the low level stuff. Yell "NDK" or "C++", and he jumps out of his chair, ready to do great things.

Aside from hacking away at a keyboard, Hilal enjoys various activities which include skateboarding, video games, camping, art and being a music hipster.

Jeff is the ever sought-after unicorn designer with a skill-set ranging from ideation to software implementation.

He is a graduate of Stanford's Design program and previously has done work for Google, Dropbox, Hyundai, Fitbit and many other Silicon Valley startups.

With a background in art and product design, his vocation now is to create intuitive and delightful experiences. His process involves a lot of sketching and paper prototyping.

Jeff's mad coding skills let him implement all his designs for web or for the Android client. Our engineers just love this.

If you ask him to draw you a robot he will, as he is constantly putting them on whatever is lying around. Jeff enjoys different beers for different occasions, but will never turn down a good ale.

He also spent a summer studying Japanese at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan.

In his free time, Adam enjoys playing the new office piano, MMO gaming, watching anime, and a good game of Go. A native Texan, he can't say no to a glass of Dr Pepper or Shiner Bock.
