I always wanted to start my own company and when I joined OctoML I was thinking about starting my own company. But then the pandemic hit and I kind of chickened out right and decided to join someone else's well-funded startup. Frankly I had a lot to learn about how startups worked on the inside before I could feel confident Starting my own so the time at OctoML. I think was extremely well spent seeing a company go from you know 10 people to 130 people Over the span of about two years. It was just an incredible opportunity. When I started Fixie the original idea was not what we're doing now the original idea is Let's build AI to help
