About Us

Syphir (rhymes with "differ") is a startup based in Boston, Massachusetts. We believe that managing email takes entirely too much time ― time that could be spent doing more productive things ― and we're developing apps to change that.

Courtland Allen

Courtland managed to get a BS in Computer Science from MIT despite his strict no-class policy. He can be found huddled behind his computer trying to code a way to restore the tattered remains of his social life, or in the kitchen making banana pancakes, depending on his mood.

Husain Al-Mohssen

After a few years at MIT, Husain recently was awarded a PhD from MIT in Mechanical Engineering. Husain has previously worked as a engineering consultant at Saudi Aramco and an associate product manager at Google. His favorite pastimes include reading (he's a big fan of modern Japanese history) and fiddling with OS X.

Abdulrahman Tarabzouni

Abdulrahman (or A.I.T. for short) completed his BSc and MEng in computer science from MIT last summer, but is now more involved in business strategy. He has led projects at Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, and Oracle, and today is responsible for GoogleÕs operations in Emerging Arabia.
