Biography

Christian Rudder (born September 1, 1975) is an American technology entrepreneur and writer who co-founded the online dating service OkCupid. He published OkCupid's popular blog posts that offered insights on dating based on data of user behavior. After OkCupid's sale to the owner of Match.com in 2011, Rudder remained at the company for four years and left in 2015.

In 2014 Rudder published Dataclysm, a book that extends his analysis of online dating and human behavior. Dataclysm draws on terabytes of data from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, OkCupid, and other sites to examine patterns in dating, collective online behavior, migration, and the challenges of privacy in a data-driven world.
