When I started it was only myself and the Founder in a two person cubicle. I wrote the first line of code, shipped the first version of our mvp, and recruited the first engineers as we experienced bursts of rapid growth and scaled the company.As a co-founder, my remit extended beyond engineering & management. I orchestrated our tech and product development, and pushed to improved process and systems throughout the company, guiding our venture from startup to scaleup. When we hit our stride in size and operations, I took on an executive role, navigating through the swiftly changing landscapes of leadership responsibilities. The role was ever-evolving, demanding a new version of myself every few quarters, and with the founding team, we turned every obstacle into a stepping stone for the company's advancement.The path of rapid growth was one intense challenges and success. It's a journey we look back on with profound gratitude, as it was rich with lessons on team-building, the essence of hard work, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth.
