A practitioner. An engineer. A product mind. A builder.
Four founders, four disciplines, plus a growing core team building alongside us from day one. A practising RCIC, a CTO, a CPO/CMO, a lead product BA who ships code, a Lead QA who breaks releases before customers can, and a senior developer leading day-to-day delivery.
Four founders. Four disciplines.
We're a small founding team intentionally. Each of us holds the pen on one quarter of the product so decisions land fast and stay coherent. LinkedIn profiles are linked on every card, photos follow shortly.
