We sit down with Nas Tonchev, CTO of Bevvy, a whiskey app for mobile and the web. We discuss features and functionalities of the Bevvy app, which helps users track, discover, and rate whiskeys. We also cover whiskey recommendations, the nuances of whiskey flavors, and the technical challenges of developing a whiskey-focused app. Additionally, we explore the influence of cultural aspects on consuming and collecting whiskey, with some tangents on career choices, hobbies, and the challenges of integrating AI and blockchain in business solutions.
