My name is Micah Corning-Myers, and I‘m thrilled to join Plexus as Founding Engineer. When Davey shared his vision with me—for an online space where meaningful connections are guaranteed—I knew I had to join him to make it reality.
I had an astoundingly low chance of meeting Davey. We didn’t run in the same circles, we weren’t geographically adjacent, and we had no mutual friends. Yet randomly, we did happen to meet, and it changed the course of my career, and by extension, my life.
Consider, in your life, the actual, statistical chances of meeting the people who have been most important to you (excepting your family). And then, in addition to the life-altering connections you have found, consider the thousands that you haven’t. The person that could change the course of your struggle could be sitting right next to you, or they could be on the other side of the globe. How do you find them? How do you find that life-altering point of connection with them?
In the vast majority of cases, these connections happen randomly or not at all. Our project, with Plexus, is remove happenstance from connection-making—to ensure connections that should occur… do.
Over the coming months, I’ll be working to perfect and then scale Plexus’ engine for making life-altering connections between people. I am a full-stack engineer with 10 years of development experience, a Master’s from UChicago in quantitative methods and data science, and a fundamental desire to create communities more meaningful than any we’ve seen before.
Drop me a line any time to say hello. I’d love to hear about meaningful connections you’ve made, any feedback or ideas you have about Plexus, or, if you’ve met Davey, how you met him. (Was your connection more random than mine? Let’s calculate it!)
