Dheeraj Chand
Founding Partner
Siege Analytics
Website


Dheeraj comes to Siege Analytics from a life that sounds like a novel written by a hipster. He was born in Queens, New York, and grew up traveling all over Asia because of his father’s job. It was traveling all over the world like this that made him start to question the relationships between boundaries, physical geography, culture and ethnic identity, all of which became relevant when he began working in Democratic analytics and spatial analysis. He has worked for polling firms, labour unions, CRM software manufacturers and humanitarian relief efforts. Dheeraj is constantly learning more about geography, geospatial statistics and software engineering, and when he’s not doing that, he is avidly studying Ving Tsun Kung Fu at Moy Yat Kung Fu Academy, playing his guitar and spending time with his wife.
