Omidyar moved to the US at the age of six. Growing up in Washington, D.C., he developed an interest in computing while still at St. Andrew's Episcopal School (Maryland) in Bethesda. He graduated in 1984 from St. Andrew's Episcopal School (Maryland) in Bethesda, Maryland, and in 1988 he graduated in computer science from Tufts University, and joined Claris, an Apple Computer subsidiary, where he helped write MacDraw. In 1991 he co-founded Ink Development, a pen-based computing startup that was later rebranded as an e-commerce company (and renamed eShop). Taken From
