About Me

My name is Jasper Kuria. I am the founder of Gicleé™, which I started as a hobby to help people enjoy healthier lifestyles and lead more fulfilling lives, after many of my friends sought me for advice on fitness, weight loss and muscle gain. Through Advocare, I am a Market Developer for the Lean In 13 program (website under development).I am a native of Nairobi, Kenya, and was previously a Product Manager at Xenocode and a Software Design Engineer on the Commerce Search team (now Bing cash back) at Microsoft. Prior to that I worked on Microsoft Exchange, IIS and MSMQ. I hold a BS degree in Computer Science and Economics from Yale University. I also serve as the secretary of the Seattle chapter of TAN (The African Network), and as a volunteer on the MIT Enterprise Forum Dinner Committee. I am involved in the technology start up Meosic.com where I am mainly responsible for customer acquisition and business development. In my spare time I enjoy table tennis (I once played Bill Gates as a prize for winning a tournament at work. Guess who won?), squash, salsa and working as a personal trainer/fitness consultant for my friends. Below are some of my blog posts. Enjoy! Send any feedback/comments to jkuria [at] gmail [dot] com.
