Ever since Julia joined Tindie as our Head of Engineering in November 2012, she has been an integral part of the team. I can vividly remember when the Reddit hug hit during my first AMA, and the site went down. She helped bring the site back up, and Tindie has thrived ever since.
We’ve become the largest hardware marketplace in the world. However, we are still very early with the Hardware Revolution very much in its infancy. Our next project will accelerate the revolution by better connecting inventors with manufacturers. We see it as as the next chapter in Tindie’s story – one that will set the tone for years to come. With such a major effort, I wanted to recognize Julia’s efforts through the last 2 years, and even more importantly, for the years to come.
I’m excited to announce Julia is no longer Tindie’s ‘Head of Engineering’ but ‘Co-founder and CTO.’ Julia has been a friend for years. When she joined the team, we thought the opportunity has quiet clear in building the world’s largest indie hardware marketplace. Together we’ve done that, and in the process uncovered a much bigger opportunity in further revolutionizing the hardware ecosystem.
Tackling this huge problem requires a team. I’ve always looked up to Julia for her knowledge and technical leadership. Together we will be defining an industry, and it’s only proper that she is recognized for her efforts – as a Tindie Co-founder!
Congratulations!
Emile
