Prior to co-founding Bagcheck, Pullara served as an engineer in residence at Benchmark, chief technologist and head of application platform at Yahoo!, and CEO of Gauntlet Systems, TechCrunch reported, adding that Bagcheck’s other co-founder, Luke Wroblewski, posted on his blog that he will not join Twitter.
