We are a great mix a of people with different experiences, backgrounds, educations and nationalities. What binds us is the excitement we feel when working on really challenging technology and transforming that into tangible software products delivered on time to our customers. We have a lot of fun doing that while pushing each other to improve in all kinds of ways. We don’t tell or sell nonsense and when we are not working we like going out after work to drink (when there is no Corona) or play games on the office Switch.
