Since Founding this company with Logan & Tina, it has been a time of exponential growth in terms of my business acumen, personal development, and tech-skills development. Writing code is one thing, but managing a full-stack software engineering team is another. It has given me the opportunity to both not only grow the company's product but also as a founder & CTO.
The company has come a long way since the beginning of its software development in October 2020.
From writing the software architecture wireframe map of our tech stack to where we are now which is a pseudo microservices architecture that includes internal audio creation and a data dashboard - this process has been invaluable.
My role has continuously changed over the months but I've learned how to manage our tech team, the code base, product management, dev-ops, as well as in the trenches with the team writing and deploying code.
I certainly look forward to what is ahead of the company and my singular focus is to ensure our tech team has everything they need so that they and the company are successful.
