Meet the Founders
We are two software engineers based in beautiful Portland, Oregon who are tired of software being built poorly and want to do it right for once.

Ben Goertz
Having worked at companies like Walmart, Nike, and eBay, Ben spends a lot of time thinking about complex systems and has first-hand experience delivering reliable software at massive scale.
Before diving head first into software, Ben was an Emmy award winning video editor and producer. He loves Portland and enjoying everything the beautiful Pacific Northwest have to offer, especially with friends and family.

Sasha Chedygov
A well-rounded software engineer who has worn a lot of hats throughout his career, Sasha has helped multiple startups successfully launch products into the market and has been a part of three acquisitions. He has worked on just about everything—from full stack web and mobile apps to statistical regression algorithms, desktop apps, warehouse automation software, and all sorts of integration projects with legacy systems.
Although he hates over-engineered software, Sasha loves over-engineered food. When he's not coding, he enjoys making one-of-a-kind cocktails for himself and others, as well as cooking needlessly complex dishes at home.
Our Ethos
We are intensely pragmatic about the software we build. We believe that:
- Obsessing over the product is better than obsessing over the code.
- Good software shipped today is better than great software shipped later.
- All ideas must be tested before committing to them.
