Hassan founded GenieTown together with a group of Stanford entrepreneurs and alumni while working on his PhD thesis out of the very practical need of finding someone to clean his apartment while working under stringent paper deadlines.
Hassan was a member of the Transactional Coherence and Consistency project at Stanford University. Before starting GenieTown, he was a research assistant at the Stanford Computer Systems Laboratory. Hassan holds a MS in electrical engineering and will complete his PhD in 2009.
