Mission History

>>I hate it when things break. I remember seeing people get frustrated when a computer system failed them, wasting their hard work. It didn't feel right. I promised myself I would be the one to fix it.

>>I spent years learning the hardest parts of computer programming, just so I could build things that never let people down. I treat every line of code like a safety net for the person using it.

>>I joined Orb21 for one reason: to protect dreams. I know that starting a business is scary and difficult. I want to handle the hard technical stuff so that founders can focus on their vision. When you build with me, you are building on solid ground.
