Business Model
Tinyfish Labs is a tiny software company (just me) focused on solving underserved software problems. Instead of building generic tools that thousands of companies find sort-of useful, I build specific tools that dozens of companies find incredibly useful.
You'll find I do things a little differently, and hopefully that is a nice change of pace.
- My pricing is published online.
- When you call with a problem, you're talking directly with the person who will solve it (me!)
- I won't sell you something you don't need.
- If I can't solve your problem best, I will guide you to who can.
Guiding Principles: pragmatism, transparency, simplicity, iteration
About Me
Since Tinyfish Labs is a 1-person company, trusting the company is trusting me. Talking about myself always feels a little gauche, but I also need to build some credibility with you, so let's power through this.
- 2007-11: Earned a BS in Computer Science from the University of Illinois College of Engineering (UIUC), and was honored with the Bronze Tablet (given to the top 3% of each graduating class).
- 2011-12: I moved to California to work at Hewlett-Packard on webOS, the smart TV platform now owned by LG.
- 2012-15: I joined a startup called Mailbox as an engineering lead. Our team of 13 created an email app with 5 Million users as its peak. We were acquired by Dropbox, where I worked for several more years.
- 2015-19: I joined a solar/fintech startup in San Francisco as CTO, and helped scaled it from nothing to 8,000 customers, 200 employees, and $40M in revenue.
- 2019-present: I moved to Arizona, got married, bought a house, adopted a dog, had a daughter and started to contemplate whether "Big Tech" was the best way to use my skills. Tinyfish Labs was born.
